Moving Forward Forums are a unique opportunity for adults to come together to learn about pressing environmental issues and sustainable living. These forums also allow attendees to engage with local experts through a Q&A and reception.
This month, the topic of our Moving Forward Forum is: "Composting 101!" Join us to hear local composting enthusiasts share their experiences, expertise, and tips for creating healthy compost. Meet our guest speakers:
