Organic Waste Diversion
What is composting & why does it matter?
SEEDS has proudly served Michigan as a green solutions incubator and employer since 1999. In addition to our permanent teaching and consulting staff, through our EcoCorps program we also provide seasonal employment for green collar career explorers. EcoCorps crews are available for hire and we also work cooperatively on fundraising around specific projects.
SEEDS EcoCorps works with and for land conservancies, conservation districts, private landowners and associations, municipalities, and many other partners and clients to restore and maintain green spaces and shorelines across Michigan.
