On a lovely day last week, we attended the kickoff meeting for the redesign of the Lower East Side Ecology Center's compost facility. W will be working with the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation to reorganize the compost process and site to create a sustainable and educational facility which will filter the compost leachate through a series of wetlands that store stormwater to create a new freshwater habitat for birds and other animals. The center's location on the lower east side promenade will provide excellent visibility for educational purposes.
