Living Lightly...

Our campus has included composting in its operation since the early eighties and the program has grown to be more appreciated over time.  These pictures show some of our "black gold" which is reused on campus landscape and for our campus nursery.  The compost comes from summer grass clippings, fall leaves, fall landscape cleanup of our beds, and trimmings from our shrubbery and trees.
