All proceeds directly benefit our urgent effort to protect threatened waterways
After the recent catastrophic wildfires in California, many people are concerned about sediment erosion and toxic ash moving into critical waterways, harming aquatic ecosystems and polluting drinking water. A grassroots coalition is forming to install biodegradable and biologically active wattles and other remediation/erosion control measures to protect threatened waterways, and collect valuable scientific data for future efforts.
This webinar features Taylor Bright, who will explain the how, what and why of these proposed bioremediation approaches. Matthew Trumm, the founder of the Camp Fire Restoration Project, will share his experiences and lessons learned during his efforts for post-fire wattle biofiltration installations after the 2018 Camp Fire. The event will be moderated by Maya Elson, Director of CoRenewal.

Taylor Bright is a multifaceted applied mycologist, ecological restoration practitioner, educator, writer and artist working to illuminate the ecological importance of the fungal realms and to promote the holistic regeneration of our Living Earth. She holds a BS in Biology and Environmental Science from The University of Central Florida as well as certifications in Permaculture Design, Ecosystem Restoration Design, and is a certified California Naturalist. She has been serving as secretary and researcher for Bay Area Applied Mycology for over 2 years, and for the past year, has been working with CoRenewal as project facilitator and educator. Presently, her work and focus of interest lies in low-tech, low-cost, accessible and regenerative bio/mycoremediation techniques for helping to heal contaminated water and soil. Living in the fire ecology of Northern California, much of her work is currently oriented towards allying with fungi and natural systems in post-wildfire soil regeneration and protecting aquatic ecosystems from toxic ash runoff.
Matthew Trumm is a Permaculture educator, designer, and consultant from Oroville California, in Butte County. Since Matthew started to study Permaculture in 2011 he has since pioneered countless Permaculture based projects in Butte County, which all dwell in the ever expanding web of projects and businesses under the umbrella,Treetop Permaculture. Treetop specializes in Education, demonstration, and consultation of Permaculture / ecological design as well as nurturing a micro local farm to fork movement.. Matthew is the founder of The Camp Fire Restoration Project, a non profit that helps restore the areas that were devastated by the Camp Fire. In 2019 CFRP created the 1st ecosystem restoration camp in the US. and the first mobile permaculture based disaster response eco-camp model in the world.
Maya Elson is a teacher, naturalist, mycologist, organizer and lover of the wild.

As one of the founding members of the Radical Mycology network, she’s worked on various fungal cultivation and educational projects in Olympia, WA and the San Francisco Bay area. She’s worked as a campaign organizer with a number of climate justice and wilderness defense struggles over many years. Maya is the founder of Wild Child Santa Cruz, a nature immersion program for homeschoolers. As an instructor of Mycopermaculture, Fungal Biology, Mycorenewal and Mushroom Identification for both adults and children, she has experience writing curriculum and giving mycology-related workshops. She is currently studying Ecopsychology, leading mushroom hunts with ForageSF, leading rites of passage programs with Gaia Passages, and raising an enchanted child.
