According to the Solana Center, horse manure management is an important component of environmentally sustainable communities because it diverts valuable organic matter from landfills and reduces the amount of waste that must be transported from neighborhoods to waste disposal and processing facilities.

Additionally, properly managing manure reduces stormwater pollution.

Composting is also beneficial to residents, as it's an excellent way to enrich soil in gardens, yards, and planters and can conserve water and reduce the need for fetilizer.

This workshop, which is sponsored by the County of San Diego, is free, but those wishing to attend should register at the website below.
