Gulf Coast Compost @ FGCU Food Forest

Help maintain the compost program for the FGCU Food Forest! We will be mulching, lining pathways with oysters, and making compost piles.  We will also organize the Food Forest shipping container and nursery area. 

Optional bonus hours: collect food waste from your kitchen the week prior to contribute to the compost pile! (tip: use a bucket & lid // keep a gallon ziplock in the freezer)

Closed toed shoes are mandatory. Dress appropriately for warm temperatures, bring water, and consider sun protection. 

Do not RSVP if you cannot attend for the full length of the event. Please return to Eagle link to revoke your RSVP if you cannot make it so another student can sign up. 

Location: The FGCU Food Forest is past Sugden Welcome Center and before Kleist Health Education Center. Look for a shipping container that says “FOOD FOREST” on your left. Approximate address: 9920 FGCU South Court. Fort Myers, FL 33913
