Nature's Recyclers: Decomposers
2025-10-04 16:00 - 17:30 | Duke Farms, 1112 Dukes Parkway West, Hillsborough Township, NJ, 08844, United States
Explore the soil critters that break down nature’s waste and help ecosystems thrive.

As summer fades into fall, nature begins its quiet process of renewal. In this class, we’ll dig into the fascinating world of decomposers, including fungi, insects, and other tiny organisms that break down dead matter and return nutrients to the soil. Through hands-on exploration and discussion, we’ll discover how these often-overlooked creatures play a vital role in keeping ecosystems healthy, especially as the seasons change.
