A brief description of the composting or mulching program:
Brush and limb clean-up debris is chipped up on-site and utilized on nature trails across campus. Some wood chips are also used as a bulking agent in our compost operation on campus. Majority of grass clippings are left in place once grass is cut, which is considered 'grass-cycling'. Grass clippings will quickly decompose, returning valuable nutrients to the soil.
