10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
FAMILY of Ellenville
221 Canal St. Ellenville
Participants will hear a brief introduction about what is composting and why it is an important way of protecting our environment. Then, educators will guide children through an interactive reading of “Compost Stew” by author Mary McKenna Siddals and other short stories. Participants will then be able to observe a live worm bin, identify worms at each stage of their lifecycle, learn about worm ecology, and learn how to compost indoors using a worm bin. This FREE workshop is suitable for children ages 7 and up, and parental supervision is advised.
Accessibility: Family of Ellenville is a very convenient and accessible building located in the town of Ellenville, 221 Canal Street. Participants can park at the front of the building or in the back. The workshops will take place in the backyard of the building, which offers plenty of parking and is easily accessible. There is a wheelchair accessible ramp in front of the building. Bathrooms can be accessed inside of the building. Many staff members are fluent in English and Spanish. All are welcome to our programs. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian of any particular child to help with the child’s participation and behavior.
We strive to offer equal program opportunities. Educational resources in Spanish are available by request. If you require any special accommodations or have questions about this program, please contact Eva Barnett, Recycling Educator, at EBAR@UCRRA.ORG or 845-336-3336.
