    Composting – Schools

    Composting education offers assistance to schools in turning their lunchroom and/or schoolyard organic waste into usable compost. Students learn about the soil cycle, biology of worms, and how worms and other organisms assist in the decomposition process. If the composting program is at SCARCE, participants will get to meet and feed our worms!

    Best suited for: grades K-12

    Program Length: 45 minutes

    Max. Recommended Class Size: 60 participants (limited to 20 if held at SCARCE)

    Contact SCARCE for pricing and scheduling.
