The Palisades Fire created an ecological disaster as only a widespread urban conflagration can. But it also created a blank canvas and an opportunity, according to Sara Marti, the Communications Director of Resilient Palisades. The eco-centric non-profit began in 2019, offering free help in a wide array of environmentally friendly initiatives from clearing invasive species to electrifying your home. But when the Palisades Fire destroyed much of the region that Resilient Palisades had spent years trying to improve, the group had to pivot. And they did, releasing a plan for rebuilding the Palisades that would make it the environmental stronghold they had always believed it could be. This week, Sara Marti explains the initiatives Resilient Palisades is working on post-fire, and how you can leverage the group's expertise to make your home more environmentally resilient.
