We gather statistically sound data on ecosystem patterns, remediation strategies, and succession based on restoration practices. These findings are shared with stakeholders.

Areas of Focus

Adaptive Conservation of Natural Communities
Mycoremediation
Phytoremediation​
Myco-phytoremediation
Ecosystem restoration and succession
Phosphorus mitigation in soil and soil water
Pollinator habitat establishment

Current Projects

Myco-Phytoremediation in Multi-Functional Riparian Forest Buffers:
​Restoration, Education, Training, and Rematriation at Shelburne Farms
2024-2026

​​This project aims to improve current Best Management Practices for riparian forest buffer management through restoring degraded riparian habitats via replacing nonnative monocultures with native polycultures,  investigating the role of endemic mycorrhizae to mitigate phosphorus pollution, increase pollinator habitat while facilitating Abenaki land access, tracking succession through soil and plant surveys accompanied by eco-literacy fostering educational programs in the bioregional community.

Thanks to Lake Champlain Basin NEIWPCC, Permaculture Action Network, UVM Extension for Sustainable Agriculture, UVM Department of Agriculture, Landscape & the Environment, and the Lintilhac Foundation, we have the opportunity to grow from our 4 year proof-of concept project by tripling our trials, using endemic mycorrhizae grown from the forest on the farm (using our SARE guide), and with 98% Abenaki relevant plants, working with Abenaki grandmothers, Permatours, VTYouth Build Resource, Vermont Youth Conservation Corps, Mycolab members & community members.
