Dena Soil Project Halloween Block Party Extravaganza

Join Dena Soil Project for a community led land restoration and celebration at a fire impacted block in Altadena! Dena Soil Project will be hosting a soil themed Halloween block party in Altadena. We need your help!

Why: We're healing soil one home at a time. After the Eaton Fire, many Altadena families were left living with contaminated soil in the yards and gardens they call home. This celabratory and informative day brings neighbors, scientists, and volunteers together to learn about safe soil, learn about restoring the land beneath our homes so families can garden, play and gather outside.
