CAROLINE BONNIVIER SNYDER — THE BERKSHIRE EAGLE
Fourth graders at Muddy Brook Elementary School in Great Barrington discuss the composting system they have devised at their school as part of the Muddy Brook Green Team during the Berkshire Earth Expo held at the Boys and Girls Club in Pittsfield on Saturday. Pictured here, Jaziyah Forte, 10, right, Hazel Curletti, 10, and Olivia Mauke, 10, both at left, talk with Jody Burrows of South Egremont. The Muddy Brook Green Team was founded last spring so this is the first full year of the program. Students fill compost buckets in the cafeteria and individual classrooms. At the end of the day, the team member that is in charge of compost that day, compiles the buckets and takes it outside to the large compost bin on the campus of the school.
