Master Composter Certificate | Course 2: Introduction to Composting | Virtual Session |

What is compost really? What are the benefits of composting? Find out all about the nuts and bolts of composting, and how to manage a compost system. Learn the five factors and get to know the soil food web better. This course is one of the required courses for securing a Master Composter certification through the NYC Community Compost Network (formerly NYC Compost Project).

This is recommended as the second course to take in your path to certification, though you can take the workshops in any order. Please note that in addition to the required workshops, 9 hours of compost-related service learning and 2 field trips to compost-processing sites (of which Snug Harbor is one!). For certification through Snug Harbor, we also require a capstone project, which consists of a five-minute presentation during the last workshop.
