LEARNING ABOUT VERMICOMPOSTING

We visited the Desert Worm Farm in Glendale to learn about earthworm composting. The kids had a fantastic time playing with the red wigglers and the worm castings. They learned that they can have fun while helping the environment by reducing the amount of biodegradable waste in landfills. This field trip included outreach to other groups, introducing more people to Roots & Shoots. One member provided transportation to a senior from the Fountain Hills Senior Center who was interested in coming along. At least one family followed up this tour by implementing earthworm composting in their home.
