In partnership with Star City Compost and Lick Run CDC, we offer educational experiences in composting for youth and adults. The compost facility is open for field trips for adults and youth. We can also come to your classroom with our Compost Education Trailer as presenters on composting, zero-waste, plastic pollution, and hands-on solutions to climate change.

Our team has decades of experience in classroom and outdoor ecological education and has a passion for teaching about sustainability. A sliding-scale contribution for a presentation or field trip ensures educators are paid a living wage, that our programs are always accessible, and that we can continue to invest in community-owned agriculture.
