Educating with Extension Newsletters

Each month, the Extension Service publishes a newsletter about its exciting programs and events both past and upcoming. See what we are doing and how you can become involved. 

For our May 2019 newsletter, we featured an article written by our Environmental Horticulture Agent, Michelle Leonard-Mularz, for International Compost Awareness week, called Compost - Recycle Your Waste. 

"Much of what we throw away in our garbage or put out as yard waste could be recycled right on our own property.  In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates about 30% of what we discard is food scraps and yard waste; organic materials like banana peels and coffee grounds, that through the help of beneficial critters, turns into nutrient-rich soil. Composting these materials divert them from landfills, adding another way we, as conscientious citizens, can reduce our carbon footprint...."

The newsletter also includes updates on many Extension events going on this month!
