| Oct 11 From Garbage to Garden: Composting 101 |
| Nearly 20% of US landfills are filled with food waste which results in a variety of problems. For example, organic waste in landfills generates methane, a harmful greenhouse gas, speeding up climate change. In 2015 alone, nearly 39 million tons of food waste made its way to US landfills whereas it could have been returned to the soil in a more beneficial way. Composting can significantly reduce this food waste problem, return valuable nutrients to the soil and help slow the devastating impacts of climate change. Come learn how you can make a difference by learning the basics of composting at a FREE demonstration and workshop with the Nebraska Conservation Education Fund. Even if you live in an apartment or smaller space, this event is still for you. Our demonstration will inform you on how to create a composting bin appropriate to a variety of living spaces.

Howling Fun for Everyone at Homestead National Monument
It’s time for Howling Homestead at Homestead National Monument of America! This exciting, fun, and family-friendly event will be held at the Heritage Center on Saturday, October 27, 2018, from 6:00 until 9 p.m. We will provide a variety of stations to entertain and delight, Join us to learn about the night sky, have fun with the “mad scientist,” observe snakes and raptors and take a night hike through the tallgrass prairie, plus so much more! There is no fee for this event and the first 100 children receive a free pumpkin to take home from the Friends of Homestead, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the monument.
Harvest time on a homestead brought a bounty of crops, including pumpkins and apples. There will be hot apple cider and cookies for everyone. Howling Homestead is funded in part by the Friends of Homestead, and Eastern National, the bookstores at the monument.
Many of the evening activities will be outdoors, so visitors are advised to dress for cool weather. We won’t try to be scary. The event is appropriate for all ages. Please leave your costumes at home.
