Mar 29 - Sep 7    "See the Great Plains" Exhibit
“See the Great Plains” Poster Series Ecotourism Exhibit 
to Open at Homestead National Monument of America  


Homestead National Monument of America is excited to announce the opening of its newest exhibit titled See the Great Plains.  The exhibit will open at the Monument’s Education Center on Sunday, March 29, 2015.  Designed by Lincoln, Nebraska artist Katie Nieland, See the Great Plains is a special ecotourism poster exhibit on loan from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Center for Great Plains Studies.  The exhibit is free and open to the public and will be on display through Labor Day weekend.
 
See the Great Plains features 12 posters designed in a style that pays homage to the 1930s Works Progress Administration’s posters for the National Parks.  These posters feature scenes from across the Great Plains.  The poster series is designed to bring awareness to the beautiful destination sites throughout the region.  Each site has been identified by the Center for Great Plains Studies as an ecotourism site and encourages travelers to visit these ecological marvels. 
 
“Ecotourism offers a way to combine conservation of biodiversity with new economic opportunities for rural towns across the Great Plains, and it’s the best way to engage with the natural beauty and wonder of the region,” said Dr. Richard Edwards, Director of the Center for Great Plains Studies.  With posters baring titles like “Bison Rebirth: See the Largest Land Mammal In North America” and “Dancing Chickens: The original Sandhills Hoe-Down” you will not want to miss your chance to see this exceptional exhibit!  Additionally, you can collect them all -- posters and postcards will be for sale at Homestead’s bookstores.
 
Remember, Homestead National Monument of America has an exciting schedule of events planned for 2015. Keep up with the latest information by following us on Twitter (HomesteadNM) and Facebook (Homestead National Monument of America).

Birds and Bagels at Homestead National Monument of America
 
Join natural resource specialist Jesse Bolli at Homestead National Monument of America for an early morning birding program on Friday, May 1 or Saturday May 2 at 8 a.m.  This program will begin at the Homestead Education Center with a light breakfast of bagels followed by a short walk to investigate the birds of Homestead’s prairie and woodland.  Limited numbers of binoculars will be available; you are encouraged to bring your own.  One all-terrain wheel chair is available to check-out, as well.   
 
Homestead is celebrating International Migratory Bird Day 2015 by offering two weekends of birding this year, the first Friday and Saturday in May and the first Friday and Saturday in June. International Migratory Bird Day highlights and celebrates the migration of nearly 350 species of migratory birds between nesting habitats in North America and non-breeding grounds in Latin America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. To learn more about International Migratory Bird Day go to http://www.birdday.org/birdday/media-tools/bird-day-faqs.
 
Over 100 avian species inhabit the monument’s tallgrass prairie and bur oak forest, including grassland species such as the dickcissel, common yellow throat and grasshopper sparrow, raptors such as the barred owl and red-tailed hawk, and forest species such as the eastern towhee, Baltimore oriole, downy woodpecker and warbling vireo. 
 
“Homestead National Monument of America provides a great location for birders of all experience levels to come together to learn and share about birds,” stated Mark Engler, the monument’s Superintendent.
