DESCRIPTION:The Conservancys Sustainability team invites you to support us with gardening work and landscape maintenance at the 95th Street Compost C ompound. \nThe compost that is currently in progress at our site is create d right here in Riverside Park! We utilize machinery for the composting wo rk\, and when the compost is ready it will be applied to soil in the Park\ , thus retaining nutrients from the debris that enters the site and closin g the loop. \nFor existing volunteers: please sign up through the Grassroo ts Volunteer Portal. Instructions for how to get to the Compound are on th e portal. \nFor new volunteers: please email grassroots@riversideparknyc.o rg for information about how to get involved. \n\n\n\nThis project is not suitable for corporate groups! If you are a corporate group\, please email caroline@riversideparknyc.org to set up a project. \n\n\n\nAbout the 95th Street Compost Compound\nOur state-of-the-art Compost Compound is the pro cessing center for debris and materials produced in the process of maintai ning Riverside Parks landscape. Conservancy staff use the Compost Compound to drop off woody debris\, leaves\, weeds\, and invasive plants that they have removed from other areas of the Park. We then process these material s on-site by composting. The compost is then incorporated back into the Pa rks soil. By retaining all of the weeds\, twigs\, and branches and compost ing them\, we are closing the loop. The Compost Compound successfully div erts hundreds of cubic yards of plant material from ending up in a landfil l and reduces the need for carting ' thereby reducing emissions involved i n transporting the material off site.
