Respectful Revolution CFRP Update April 2020
Hey everyone! Greetings from the Camp Fire Restoration Project! Here’s a quick update from Matthew Trumm on what CFRP/Camp Paradise has been up to this year. We are proud to be affiliated with Ecosystem Restoration Camps International, ERC California, and the many partnerships that continue to blossom in our local region.
Also, please check out this great video for action you can take during COVID-19.
Our Fall Camp 2019 was a huge success joining together with Regenerating Paradise for the Paradise Revival Festival, then Permaculture Action Network and Rising Appalachia for our Action Day at Norton Buffalo Hall. Sol Sanctuary joined us as our base camp and fiscal sponsor.
We are now in the first phase of implementing this grand vision of creating a bio-regional hub and model for community-based habitat restoration. With your support, we can make this happen. Your donations and partnership give more people opportunities to be trained in ecosystem restoration and create new permaculture demonstration sites to heal and restore the land and lives affected by California’s deadliest wildfire.
Our collective action will create a sustainable and regenerative model with new systems for disaster response, resilient communities, and landscape restoration that inspire a culture shift.
What is the goal?
- To restore land in the areas affected by the devastating fire, create healthy ecosystems with sustainable local food sources, build fire safe homes and buildings, create green jobs, and teach local communities about ecosystem restoration.

NSPR Feature: Permaculture And Restoring Land After The Camp Fire
When we talk about life lost during the Camp Fire, we immediately think people and animals.
But when a fire reaches the extreme temperatures that the Camp Fire did in places, the living organic material in the earth itself ground burns as well. It effectively kills the soil and its ability to absorb moisture.
Today we journey with independent producer Matt Fidler who learned about rebuilding the soil that once gave life to vegetation that covered the area’s now charred landscape.

“I think one of our greatest mistakes is seeing ourselves separate from nature and that nature is somewhere “out there.” Unfortunately, it is events like the Camp Fire that remind us this is not the case. It is time to fit ourselves back into nature appropriately.” – Matthew Trumm, coordinator of the Camp Fire Restoration Project
