This three part workshop will take place over the course of three weekends in May, beginning on the last day of International Compost Awareness Week. Please attend all three weekends if possible. Otherwise, you may choose to only attend one or two days. Space is limited to 30 attendees.
This is an in-depth background on the SB 1383 mandate, definitions and applications of organic waste recycling, landfill and methane implications, recovered organic waste products, composting, compost use and application, soil carbon, soil ecosystem and climate change dynamics. Instructors will be provided relevant curriculum to integrate this knowledge and project-based climate action learning into their classrooms. There will be expert guest speakers and indoor and outdoor learning forums - utilizing the garden, compost, and soil demonstration sites at the Water Conservation Garden (El Cajon, CA).
