A brief description of the composting or mulching program:
Plant waste from Grounds Department activities is recycled on the North Property. Branches pruned from shrubs and trees trimmings from perennial plants are collected on a brush pile. Wood chips from tree removals are dumped in another pile. The leaves that blow into inaccessible areas are vacuumed and dumped on the North Property. Periodically all these materials are ground, mixed, and turned until they become usable compost. The Grounds staff applies the compost to planting beds as mulch.
