This upgrade includes the purchase of durable wheelbarrows, pitchforks, and animal-proof storage bins to streamline the collection and processing of food scraps. By improving the tools and signage available to volunteers, the project ensures a more efficient decomposition process, transforming campus food waste into nutrient-rich soil for the garden. This refresh not only supports sustainable agriculture on campus but also serves as an educational hub, using clear signage and workshops to teach the NAU community about the closed-loop cycle of food systems.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- shortcode-column -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-column shortcode-column--count-2\">\n    \n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-uncropped-large wp-image-4781\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2025\/06\/5913_slugg_garden_volunteers_20220909-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2025\/06\/5913_slugg_garden_volunteers_20220909-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2025\/06\/5913_slugg_garden_volunteers_20220909-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2025\/06\/5913_slugg_garden_volunteers_20220909-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2025\/06\/5913_slugg_garden_volunteers_20220909-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2025\/06\/5913_slugg_garden_volunteers_20220909.jpg 1199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Project Lead:<\/h5>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Gabriel Navarro<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Project Advisor:<\/h5>\n<p>Avi Henn<\/p>\n<h5>Date:<\/h5>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">2\/1\/2023<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Funding Amount:<\/h5>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">$1,907.36<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Department:<\/h5>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Sustainable Communities <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2026\/03\/New-SSLUG-Garden-Spring-2024-Compost-Greenfund-Proposal-.docx.pdf\">Supporting Documents<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2198,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","ring_central_script_selection":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5440","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5440","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2198"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5440"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5440\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5442,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5440\/revisions\/5442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
