A cooperative project was undertaken to provide compost bins at the Garden. 3rd Coaldale Scouts provided the skills and funding was made possible through the Youth Environmental Engagement Grant Program sponsored by:

In an effort to support and encourage the grassroots examples of environmental excellence that are taking place at schools throughout the province, the Alberta Emerald Foundation has partnered with ConocoPhillips Canada, the Alberta Beverage Container Recycling Corporation and Newalta to facilitate a granting program that supports the efforts of young people in Alberta.

This was a wonderful union of three organizations to help each achieve their goals.

By the end of the summer, the two bins were filled to capacity of organic waste. This material will be used to enrich the soil next season.

Our gratitude goes to the leaders and scout members for their enthusiasm and quality workmanship.
