Master Composters are enthusiastic community volunteers that are  
committed to promoting responsible composting in Tompkins County. The  
training program covers all aspects of composting, including the basic  
science, systems and methods for indoor and outdoor composting,  
troubleshooting, how to assess and use mature compost, and diverse  
outreach methods. Following completion of the training program, Master  
Composters give time back to the community in a wide variety of  
outreach activities and collaborative projects. If you are interested  
in protecting the environment, improving gardens, reducing waste, and  
having fun with a lively group, then consider joining us! To learn
