Turning Brownfields to Blooming Meadows, With the Help of Fungi
e360: How did the sites look different after the work that you did on them?
Stevenson: They became basically beautiful meadows of native plants that were flowering, and now there are bees and birds and all sorts of life coming through. We had a very high success rate. In three months we saw a more than 50 percent reduction in all [petrochemical] pollutants. And then by the 12-month period, they were pretty much not detectable.
