LA Compost – Community Compost & Clean Up
Join FoLAR at LA Compost’s Community Compost & Clean Up
Join us for a hands-on day of environmental action as we celebrate Earth Month with an event that’s all about easy, impactful climate action!
Together, we’ll clean up the bike path along the historic LA River and dive into the art of community composting. We’ll kick off the day with an orientation and healthy refreshments before splitting into two groups; one will start the clean-up while the other stays in the garden to learn about composting. Don’t worry about missing out, once the first clean-up crew returns, we’ll switch so everyone gets the full experience! We’ll wrap up with an exciting raffle featuring incredible sustainable prizes.
This event is part of LA Compost’s Earth Month Calendar and is designed to show just how simple and fun it is to take climate action. Whether you’re new to composting or a seasoned eco-enthusiast, this is your chance to take action, connect with like-minded people, and learn skills you can bring back to your community.
RSVPs are limited, so don’t wait to register. Hope to see you there!
