Conservancy staff use the Compost Compound to drop off woody debris\, leaves\, weeds\, and invasive plants that they have remove d from other areas of the Park. We then process these materials on-site by composting. The compost is then incorporated back into the Parks soil. By retaining all of the weeds\, twigs\, and branches and composting them\, w e are closing the loop. The Compost Compound successfully diverts hundred s of cubic yards of plant material from ending up in a landfill and reduce s the need for carting ' thereby reducing emissions involved in transporti ng the material off site.
