Blackbirds for Kids Upcoming Events
An alternative to Scouts. Meetings consist of activities that promote environmental and social justice, e.g. sweeping a neighbor’s sidewalk, digging for fossils, making welcome cards for new refugees. Every meeting ends with crafts — a lot of Mod Podge and glitter… and more glitter.

Adventures in Composting: From Waste to Food and Back Again
Want to introduce your kids to the benefits of composting, and get them thinking about waste reduction? This is the workshop for you! We will have an interactive, hands-on time talking about compost, worms, and fungi, including up-close looks at all three with microscopes. Plus we'll start growing some oyster mushrooms on cardboard! This is your chance to get up close with the issue of food waste, and learn how to turn waste into something good for the earth – and tasty too!
When: June 14, 4:30 - 5:45 PM
Where: New Holland Ave. Recycling Center, 415 Harrisburg Ave., Lancaster PA
This even is hosted by Eve Bratman, Environmental Studies professor at Franklin & Marshall College. Check out all the neat stuff Eve does with composting in Lancaster! (www.Lancastercompost.us)
