OUR ROOTS

MISSION

To raise funds and expand access to soil testing, remediation, and recovery services for underinsured and uninsured fire survivors, helping families rebuild on healthy soil while supporting a safer and more resilient Altadena.

VISION

To help cultivate a future where healthy soil supports healthy families, thriving neighborhoods, environmental resilience, and a stronger Altadena for generations to come.

VALUES

Collaboration

Recovery takes an entire community. We work alongside residents, donors, environmental professionals, community organizations, businesses, volunteers, and local leaders to expand access to soil recovery resources and support Altadena's long-term healing.

Equity

Every resident deserves the opportunity to make informed decisions about the health of their property. Through fundraising, education, and strategic partnerships, we help reduce financial barriers to soil testing and recovery services for those with limited or no insurance coverage.

Stewardship

Healthy soil is the foundation of a healthy community. Our work is guided by science, environmental responsibility, transparency, and a commitment to protecting the long-term health of the land, the families who call it home, and future generations.
