DESCRIPTION:Grow a Greener Community – Become a Master Composter \n\nInspire others 
 and make a difference in your community. The annual Master Composter 
 Training Program is currently accepting applications from Alameda County 
 residents for the 2007 Class. \n\nThe Master Composter Program is a 
 certificated, extensive compost course. Participants receive training in 
 the art and science of basic and worm composting, soil health, and Bay 
 Friendly gardening techniques. Participants use this knowledge to train 
 others through a compost community outreach project. \n\nAll participants 
 receive a compost bin and several composting and gardening books, including 
 the East Bay Municipal Utility District’s “Plants and Landscapes for 
 Summer Climates of the SF Bay Region.” Teachers who complete the program 
 are eligible for a $200 stipend to use toward school garden and/or 
 classroom compost activities. \n\nClasses will meet Tuesday nights weekly 
 from early February through mid-May 2007, with 2 Saturday field trips. The 
 Program offers graduate level and continuing education credits from 
 California State University at Hayward or credit from Merritt College 
 Landscape Horticulture department.\n\nMaster Composter training enhances 
 the skills of community leaders, activists, educators, environmentalists, 
 gardeners, and recyclers.  We encourage people of all ages, abilities, and 
 ethnic groups to apply.  If you have ideas and energy for community 
 actions, this class is for you. \n\nHOW? \nComplete an application by 
 January 12, 2007. Reserve the evening of January 17 & 18 for an interview.
