Sheldrake Environmental Center in Larchmont will be hosting its second Westchester County Master Composter and Recycler Program, a train-the-trainer course for individuals who wish to teach sound composting and recycling practices in their communities. Classes start October 14th and will include five Wednesday night lectures and three weekday fieldtrips. Classes and workshops include composting, recycling, vermicomposting and deconstruction. Participants will be provided with a full complement of composting and recycling resources as well as a library of presentations, workshops and activities for residents, businesses and schools.
Participants are required to fulfill a 35 hour service commitment by running a composting or recycling event or workshop in their own communities. Typical volunteer hours can be fulfilled at farmer's markets, community events and school functions. Course fees are $175.
