Master composters are trained volunteers who educate people – friends, neighbours and the local community – in composting. This can involve attending events, giving talks, writing newsletters, networking, and using social media to engage with people.
Attitudes and behaviour are influenced by those around us, so volunteers can have a positive impact on our communities and the environment. We are looking for people of all ages and from all backgrounds to volunteer to become master composters.
