Our discount code for a Next Level Veggie Grill Thanksgiving FEAST expires today. Pickups start November 13.

I realize I’m cutting this one a little close. In my defense, I confused the date you can start picking up Thanksgiving dinner with the date our discount code expires. These are not the same date. One of those dates is TODAY and the other is in 2 weeks. Also, this is not paid advertising. Our Vega...

🏗️ Rebuilding? If you think there’s even the slightest chance you may one day be interested, now is the time to think about greywater, before the walls go up.

Resilient Palisades is hosting a free Greywater webinar with on November 16 from 6 to 7 PM.

We’ll cover how greywater systems work, including laundry to landscape and other options, what homeowners should plan for during design and construction, and how reusing water from your home can help support a healthy, hydrated and more fire resilient landscape.

If you’re rebuilding, even if landscaping feels very far away right now, some of the decisions that make greywater possible need to happen much earlier in the process. This is a chance to understand your options before those decisions become harder or more expensive to change.

Free and open to the community.
Rebuild greywater-ready!

👣 Walk + Talk: Rebuilding with Nature in Pacific Palisades

🗓️ Sunday, November 15 | 9:30–11:30 AM
Free | Registration required

Link in bio and below:
https://forms.gle/13WL7cdFvCgie9xt9

Join us for a free morning walk through Pacific Palisades designed to get us out into the landscape itself. We’ll walk, observe, and talk together about what the land can teach us after fire, and how paying closer attention to natural systems can help shape the way we rebuild.

Along the way, we’ll explore how to read the land, understand where water moves, support healthy soil and habitat, and think differently about the landscapes we create around our homes.

This is an opportunity to learn by being outside, seeing these systems firsthand, and asking questions along the way. No special knowledge or experience is needed.

Designed for fire impacted residents and anyone interested in ecological recovery.

Presented by Resilient Palisades, Studio Petrichor and Poly/Ana, with generous support from the California Fire Foundation.

We’re in the Palisadian Post!

Our 15th Pali Veg Fest brought neighbors together at the Palisades Village Green for plant based food, live music, Halloween fun and something especially important to us right now: helping our community rebuild greener, healthier and more resilient.

As Jordan Corral shared with the Post, Veg Fest is about bringing “a lot of happiness, a lot of joy” while also connecting neighbors with good food, music and useful information.

This year, that meant resources for fire resilience, bioremediation, native plants, healthier soil and watersheds, sustainable rebuilding and plant based living, all alongside a genuinely fun community day.

Thank you to everyone who came out, volunteered, shared their work, fed us, taught us something and helped make our 15th Pali Veg Fest such a special one.

And a huge thank you to Pali Post for continuing to show up for our community and tell these stories.

Resilient Palisades hosted the 15th edition of its Pali Veg Fest at the Palisades Village Green on Sunday, October 25, highlighting sustainable living, plant-based eating and environmental resilience—as well as seasonal festivities.

The is truly part of the fabric of this community, and their partnership means so much to us. They show up for Resilient Palisades again and again, and we are incredibly grateful for the many ways they support our work and our community. They really are part of the glue that holds the Palisades together, and a recent Nextdoor post made it pretty clear that the community wholeheartedly agrees.

One beautiful example: they sponsored $1,200 in reusable steel cups for our events so we can continue to after two whole boxes of our cups mysteriously went missing.

We use them at our water refill station and provide them to vendors who would otherwise need disposable cups. So this isn’t just about replacing plastic at one table or one event. It creates a reuse system throughout our events.

The U.S. generates about ONE MILLION TONS of plastic plates and cups in a single year, with the EPA finding no significant recycling of that category. Choosing reuse means those cups never have to become waste in the first place.

That is what $1,200 from the Palisadian Post made possible. Not 200 reusable cups. Potentially thousands and thousands of disposable cups that will never need to exist.

Thank you, , for believing in what we do, for investing in solutions that last, and most of all, for everything you do to keep this community informed, connected and together. We are so lucky to have you.

17 New Roads students 🚎 Four Big Blue Bus stops. Two Santa Monica parks. A whole lot of litter and we learned to not trust most palm treeees 🌴

New Roads is the FIRST school in Santa Monica to adopt Big Blue Bus stops! Students got to work cleaning and caring for the stops around their school. Huge shoutout to and Joseph Santiago for making it happen and giving these students a piece of their neighborhood to take care of 🚎💙🩵

Then we headed to Ishihara Park, where Jordan Corral taught students how to identify native and invasive plants before everyone got their gloves on and started pulling. We finished at Gandara Park with one more cleanup before heading back to school.

Litter removal. Native plants. Biodiversity. Water conservation. Fire resiliency. Community stewardship. All in one afternoon.

This was Resilient Palisades’ second volunteer day with New Roads, and these kids show up. They get engaged. They get dirty. They do the work. And they leave their community better than they found it.

💙🩵💚💛💚🩵💙

Solar and battery sizing isn’t one size fits all, especially when you’re rebuilding an all-electric home.

In our first Power Up Palisades solar education session, Sean Sprague of TreePublic explained how installers estimate energy use for a new home based on square footage, appliances, major electrical loads and how the household will actually use energy. That information helps determine the right solar and battery system before construction is complete.

Power Up Palisades connects rebuilding homeowners with vetted solar and battery installers offering community group purchasing and support navigating the process. And we’re celebrating 87 homeowners who signed up for Round 1!

PUP is now closed and will reopen in the spring. Interested in the next round? Sign the interest form at ResilientPalisades.org/pup.
