Healthy Soil, Healthy Water: Composting for a Thriving Watershed with Colleen Falicki

Wissahickon Trails Four Mills Barn 12 Morris Rd, Ambler, United States

Everything is connected—from the scraps in your kitchen to the water in our streams. When food waste is composted instead of thrown away, it transforms into a powerful soil conditioner that benefits watersheds in major ways: Reduces runoff: Compost-enriched soil acts like a sponge, holding rainwater and filtering out pollutants before they reach rivers and streams. Builds healthier landscapes: Compost restores soil health, which supports stronger plants and ecosystems that naturally protect water quality. Reduces chemical pollution: By naturally enriching your soil, compost decreases the need for synthetic fertilizers, which often wash into waterways, causing harmful algae blooms and disrupting ecosystems.
