Students at Dutch Fork Elementary collect organics all year to send to RESOIL, a local commercial composter. In the spring, finished compost comes back to use in their school gardens for Restore: Habitat projects. More is purchased at a discount to bag and sell to the community for a Conserve: Green Purchasing project. With schools closed, lead Green Step teacher Amy Umberger enlisted her husband and children, former students at the school, to help with the bagging. Hard work, but great compost!
