Print this Article | Send to Colleague
The Minnesota Composting Council hosted four experts and more than 130 listeners who wanted to learn about local government compost use in a partnership with USCC national, opening it up to chapters and listeners across the country.
Speakers were Gregg Thompson, City of Egan, MN Watershed Specialist, Kala Fisher and Joe Shamala of the City of St. Louis Park, MN, and Chuck Joswiak of Specialized Environmental Technologies in Minnesota. During the two-hour webinar they explored various types of government projects using compost and equipment used for application, testing, contamination, procurement and other issues. The interest in the topic was apparent with more than 100 people staying for nearly the entire webinar.
Ginny Black, chair of the MNCC, and a webinar committee made up of Mikala Larson, Carver County, Georgie Lellman of Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and Kellie Kish, City of Minneapolis, designed and moderated the webinar, with technical sponsorship from USCC. This was their first webinar, so it was free; the committee is evaluating future webinars and their potential availability.
To learn about the webinar’s content, visit the Minnesota chapter website; the recording should be available soon.
