Become a Master Composter

Our mission is to promote wise and sustainable management of natural resources through responsible stewardship at the local level, working in partnership with individuals, neighborhoods, schools and community organizations.

 

You are invited to participate in the MCPLANT workshops, and they are available by registration only.

 

The training is available to eligible participants. The training is 40 hours total with several field trips and hands on projects.  We are asking potential participants to complete the registration form and return it. In return for the training, we are asking for specific volunteer time to help with different projects like: troubleshooting with schools, neighborhood training projects, staffing a booth at the Southern Spring Show and others as needed.
Funding for this project was provided in part through a grant from the North Carolina Division of Pollution Prevention & Environmental Assistance, NC Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources. The project will train 25 Master Composter volunteers. Drawing on successful master composter's training models from around the country, we are recruiting for volunteers based on their interests, commitment and level of experience. The trainees will come from throughout the community, so to reflect the cultural diversity of the Charlotte region. A local MC project will make a valuable contribution to reduce waste and improve environmental quality through home, neighborhood, business and school yardcare and composting. All trainees will complete a twelve-week training course.
