Keep Austin Beautiful Presents: Compost Critters

Investigate decomposition and the organisms involved firsthand. Youth will discuss decomposition, learn a silly song about the types of organisms involved (decomposers), learn about the various types of composting, and observe an active vermi-compost system.

Youth will have the opportunity to hold and study our live red wiggler worm pets and appreciate the important role worms play in soil building!
