Free Composting Workshop
September 11, 2020 @ 4:00 pm
FREE COMPOSTING WORKSHOP
The Food Waste Reduction and Composting Working Group of the Greater Quabbin Food Alliance has taught our communities about composting for the home, business, restaurant, and event. Now this group is offering a more in-depth look at composting, and is scheduling three free, outdoor, small-group workshops. Masks and social distancing will be required.
Groups of 8 participants per session will get a socially distanced, guided tour of Clear View Composting (a commercial compost facility in Orange, MA). Participants will learn more about home composting and have an opportunity to purchase a home compost bin from a Franklin or Worcester County organization.
Workshops dates are: Sept. 11 from 4 – 6 pm and Sept. 12 from 10 am – 12 pm.
Space is limited and pre-registration is required; to sign up, contact: greaterquabbinfoodalliance@gmail.com.
The Greater Quabbin Food Alliance, sponsored by Mount Grace Land Conservation Trust, is a network that connects people and resources within the local food system in the Greater Quabbin area and beyond. The Food Waste Reduction and Composting Working Group works to encourage programs that capture nutrients in food waste and return them to the land, which also nurtures healthy communities, slows climate change, reduces costly trash, and saves landfill space.
