Can anyone please suggest good books related to composting for early learners?
Some of our classes are collecting their food waste for the compost bins.

Willow-Witt Ranch is located within the ancestral homelands of the Shasta, Takelma, Athabaskan, and Latgawa peoples who lived here since time immemorial. These Tribes were displaced during rapid Euro-American colonization, the Gold Rush, and armed conflict between 1851 and 1856. In the 1850s, the discovery of gold and settlement brought thousands of Euro-Americans to their lands, leading to warfare, epidemics, starvation, and villages being burned. In 1853 the first of several treaties were signed, confederating these Tribes and others together - who would then be referred to as the Rogue River Tribe. These treaties ceded most of their homelands to the United States, and in return they were guaranteed a permanent homeland reserved for them. At the end of the Rogue River Wars in 1856, these Tribes and many other Tribes from western Oregon were removed to the Siletz Reservation and the Grand Ronde Reservation. Today, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon (https://www.grandronde.org) and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (http://www.ctsi.nsn.us/) are living descendants of the Takelma, Shasta, and Latgawa peoples of this area. We encourage YOU to learn about the land you reside on, and to join us in advocating for the inherent sovereignty of Indigenous people. We also acknowledge that Euro-American colonists excluded, marginalized, enslaved, tortured, and murdered many other descendants of slaves, darker-skinned people, Chinese and other Asian and Pacific Island immigrants, Mexican workers, and others.  We cannot change these tragic events of the past, but we acknowledge them and invite you to join us in doing what we can to bring justice and equity to all, as we move together into a more resilient, inclusive, and just future.

El Rancho Willow-Witt se encuentra dentro de las tierras ancestrales de los pueblos Shasta, Takelma, Atabascano y Latgawa, quienes vivieron aquí desde tiempos inmemoriales. Estas tribus fueron desplazadas durante la rápida colonización euroamericana, la Fiebre del Oro y el conflicto armado entre 1851 y 1856. En la década de 1850, el descubrimiento de oro y los asentamientos atrajeron a miles de euroamericanos a sus tierras, lo que provocó guerras, epidemias, hambruna e incendios de aldeas. En 1853 se firmó el primero de varios tratados, uniendo a estas tribus y a otras, que luego se conocerían como la Tribu del Río Rogue. Estos tratados cedieron la mayor parte de sus tierras a Estados Unidos y, a cambio, se les garantizó una patria permanente reservada para ellos. Al final de las Guerras del Río Rogue en 1856, estas tribus y muchas otras del oeste de Oregón fueron trasladadas a las Reservas Siletz y Grand Ronde. Hoy, las Tribus Confederadas de la Comunidad Grand Ronde de Oregón (https://www.grandronde.org) y las Tribus Confederadas de los Indios Siletz (http://www.ctsi.nsn.us/) son descendientes vivos de los pueblos Takelma, Shasta y Latgawa de esta zona. Los animamos a conocer la tierra que habitan y a unirse a nosotros para defender la soberanía inherente de los pueblos indígenas. Reconocemos también que los colonos euroamericanos excluyeron, marginaron, esclavizaron, torturaron y asesinaron a muchos otros descendientes de esclavos, personas de piel oscura, inmigrantes chinos y de otras partes de Asia y las islas del Pacífico, trabajadores y inmigrantes mexicanos y otros. No podemos cambiar estos trágicos acontecimientos del pasado, pero los reconocemos y los invitamos a unirse a nosotros para hacer todo lo posible por lograr justicia y equidad para todos, mientras avanzamos juntos hacia un futuro más resiliente, inclusivo y justo.
