As organics diversion requirements continue to expand, organizations are being asked to do more with the same staff and resources.

Someone on the team suddenly becomes the "compost expert."

They're expected to answer questions, teach workshops, train volunteers, develop educational materials, and encourage community participation.

The problem?

Many people were never trained to do those things.

That's where I can help.

For more than 40 years, I've been helping people understand composting in simple, practical ways that build confidence instead of confusion.

Whether you're launching a new composting initiative or strengthening an existing program, I can help you:

• Build confidence among staff and volunteers
• Create clear, consistent compost education
• Prepare staff to answer difficult questions
• Increase community participation 
• Simplify complex composting concepts so people understand—and use—them.

Why my approach works...

Many programs focus on rules and regulations. I focus on people.

Because when people understand why composting matters and how to do it successfully, participation naturally grows.

• Clear messaging that builds trust
• Simple and practical composting solutions 
• Cutting through myths and misunderstandings 
• Programs that fit into everyday life

What I bring

• 40+ years teaching composting and organic gardening
• Practical, field-tested training that builds confidence
• A proven ability to simplify complex topics
• Workshops and consulting for conferences, colleges, organizations, and community groups
• Practical strategies that make composting easier to understand—and easier to teach

Collection and hauling matter, but one of the most effective—and often overlooked—steps is helping people compost right where they are.

Let's talk

Successful composting programs begin with people who understand what to do—and feel confident doing it.

Every community is different. That's why I prefer to find an approach that fits your goals, your audience, and your resources.

If you're looking to strengthen compost education, train staff or volunteers, or build a more successful outreach program, I'd love to learn about your goals and how I can help.
