Our 2017 projects include work in Atlanta, Georgia and Raleigh, North Carolina! We’re following our Community Compost Advocates’ projects in Atlanta, building a new collaborative project on Atlanta’s West Side, aptly named, West Side Compost Project, working with Food Well Alliance once again as part of a Citywide Compost Working Table, and putting together a brand new project in Raleigh! Stay tuned!
Thanks to a generous 2016 Local Food Grant from Food Well Alliance we are finally able to realize the dream of growing compost leaders and advancing composting programs and soil building efforts across Metro Atlanta! We’re so excited to announce that Terra Nova Compost, in collaboration with the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, will host Atlanta’s first Community Compost Advocate Training Program in June of 2016! The course will run June 11-12, 18-19, and 25-26 at Lake Claire Community Land Trust.
