Event Description
Join them on Monday, March 18th for: "How Do My Food Scraps Become Compost in the Bow Valley?"
This Earth Talk event is in partnership with the Canmore Museum, the Biosphere of the Bow Valley, and Shannon Ripley, Professional Agrologist!
Attendees will learn about: the journey food scraps take from when you collect them at home, work or school to when they become finished compost that is applied to agricultural fields; why separate food scraps for composting? the fascinating role of the ‘soil superheroes’ (microorganisms) that carry out the decomposition process.
This event will take place in the Friends Program Room from 7-8pm. Free to attend. Registration required: https://bit.ly/3RKJ02i
