About this Event
Take a insiders tour of the small-scale compost systems used by New Settlement Community Center's Community Food Action program. We'll start at the community center where we'll get a tour of their rooftop garden, discuss their food scrap drop-off program and see how the youth interns turn food waste into compost. Then, we'll take a 3 minute walk to PS.294 where they will show us another compost processing system. Learn about their work to promote food justice and community leadership.
Event led by NYC Compost Project Hosted by The New York Botanical Garden.
