Choose from the following activities
Worm Wranglin' - Help us Care for our Composting Worms!
Our resident worms help us teach San Diegans about the value of vermicomposting (composting with worms). Our worm bins act as a demonstration site, a nursery for providing worms to community members who compost at home, and a source of nutrient-rich castings for use in gardens. Help care for these amazing compost critters and promote sustainability in our community!
Volunteers will separate worms from their castings, sift castings, feed worms and make "worm burritos", build new worm beds, and move breeder worms to new homes. In other words, all things worm care! Must be able to handle live worms!
