6th AnnualVermont Organics Recycling Summit -Soil & Water: The Compost Connection
Thursday, March 29, 2012

The Summit is a one day event and hosts six workshops, equipment demonstration and exhibitors. This year’s workshops will include: current research on compost recipe development; rural and urban case studies for source separated collection; technologies for thermal heat extraction from compost; a special site manager’s workshop on stormwater management, and: a presentation and ‘how-to’ demonstration on making and using compost filter socks.
The Vermont Organics Recycling Summit provides educational and technical sessions designed specifically for the production and use of compost in New England’s climate and soils. Compost is one of the most effective ways we have to improve soil structure and protect water quality. At VORS 2012 we will explore how composting and the use of compost can help Vermont communities on issues such as erosion, stormwater, conservation,s climate change and farm viability.
