Call for Volunteers! Join Siskiyou Land Trust and CA Climate Action Corps fellows at the SLT Garden on March 29 from 10am-1pm to learn and help transform our compost bin into a 3-bin system.

Volunteers are invited to help us build, or are free to sit back, observe, and absorb the process.
Our goal is to revamp the current compost bin to bring it back to function. We would like to create a space where community members can bring their food scraps to be processed into compost, especially if they’re not able to compost at home.
Volunteers will be assisting in leveling ground, cutting wood, and assembling pieces to bring the compost area back to life. For those who aren’t as physically able, they can observe, learn and give encouraging support.

We’re excited to get the compost bin back in operation and grateful for your help as we do so.
