A Commitment to Arkansas

Ecodrum has donated more than $170,000 to help create Compost Network and establish a new agritourism destination in Arkansas. This investment reflects a commitment to creating an attraction that not only benefits Ozark but also draws visitors from across the state and beyond to experience sustainability, education, and community engagement in a completely new way.

Compost Network demonstrates that environmental responsibility can become an exciting destination for families, schools, community organizations, and visitors of all ages.

We are delighted to welcome everyone to experience this unique project and discover how one community can inspire many others.
