Sustainable West Milford is a non-profit organization that looks to "Enable community members to transform West Milford and it's regional neighbors into an economically vibrant, environmentally friendly, and sustainable community through their personal participation and leadership."

Opportunity for Mycoremediation

Testing by an independent environmental organization found lead and pesticides in 7 random soil samples taken from the former Wallisch Estate. More testing is scheduled (or may have already happened), and then a proposal for remediation will be submitted to the town for consideration.

This is an optimum opportunity to introduce SWM members and our town to mycoremediation - healing polluted land and water with common mushrooms. This has been amazingly successful in many highly polluted places. There is ample documentation available.

If anyone is interested in working on implementing this project, which could save the town a lot of money in remediation costs while creating awareness about the healing power of plants, please contact Robin@RobinRoseBennett.com.
