Worm Composting Workshop

The TNRD Worm Composting Workshop is coming to Lac Le Jeune! Learn from the experts and get hands-on experience.

What: Mel Anderson of All Things Organic will be putting on the one-hour workshop. Residents will learn all they need to know about the proper way to compost with worms, which is a little trickier than regular composting but allows you to compost indoors and during the winter months.

Where
: Lac Le Jeune Provincial Park. Meet at the picnic shelter on the hill near the beach.

When
: Thursday, July 30th, 7:00 p.m.

Why: Cut down on household waste and make nutrient rich soil in the process.

To register call TNRD 250-377-8673. There are 20 spaces, and we must have at least 10 people registered by July 27th for the workshop to run.

This workshop is free, and participants may choose to purchase a TNRD subsidized worm composter for $25. Worms are $45 per lb. Parking is available in the day-use area lot for $1 per hour.
