A webinar introducing post-fire soil contaminants, microscopy, interpreting soil test results, and compost for bioremediation.<\/h3>\r\nHas your community been affected by wildfires or some other source of pollution? Are you concerned about contaminants in your compost or soil? Are you interested in learning how to monitor your compost or soil yourself?\r\n\r\nIn this webinar, Lynn Fang, Founder of SoilWise<\/a> and Soil & Compost Specialist with LA Compost,<\/a> introduced the contaminants of concern in soil and compost after an urban wildfire, the role of microscopy in assessing soil health, and how compost can support soil bioremediation. Lynn shared about soil test results and bioremediation projects in Altadena done through SoilWise, and also touched on findings from the recently published Soil + Soul Healing Toolkit: Compost Issue,<\/a> which analyzed soil and compost samples at several LA Compost sites affected by the Eaton Fire in Altadena. She also shared about principles of bioremediation using compost and other ecological tools.\r\n
