We held the first Mycelium Healing Project Community Training of the year on April 27th! Focused on countering the environmental impact of major corporations like Suncor, this initiative aims to restore soils damaged by pollutants, emphasizing a commitment to restorative justice and the rights of nature. We're grateful for the youth leaders who showed up to cultivate their leadership skills and to restore a deep connection to the ancestral lands. Thank you to the community who came to learn about mycoremediation and a special thanks to Cultivando for their continued partnership.
