Los Angeles Wildfire Recovery Supporters,

Thanks again for deciding to contribute to either, or both, the LA Soil Summit (Summit) on 2/21/2026 Live In Altadena, and Online Only on 2/22/2026.

The Summit is important because people are hurting; hurting from the trauma of dealing with loved ones lost, physical health and mental wellness issues, financial hardship, the rebuild process, and a sense of feeling untethered from the past we knew, depended on and found peace in. My wife Alma and I are included in this group.

Can't make it to Altadena? Want to go deeper into the science and solutions? Day 2 is designed for you.

Join us online for an extended exploration of wildfire soil recovery—diving into the technical details, examining case studies from other fire-affected regions, and developing actionable strategies for community-scale remediation. This session welcomes anyone invested in environmental recovery: soil scientists, public health professionals, environmental justice advocates, municipal leaders, and community members ready to turn knowledge into neighborhood action.

Together, we'll transform Day 1's on-the-ground insights into scalable, evidence-based solutions that serve not just Altadena, but any community facing the aftermath of wildfire.
