About this event
Bring your pumpkins or jack-o-lanterns to our eco-friendly pumpkin smash! The Nature Center is partnering with Urban Canopy to turn your old Halloween pumpkins into compost! Stick around to learn about worm composting and other sustainable practices, make a craft from recycled materials, and meet our Nature Center animals. And new this year, Smokey Joel's Red Hots will be selling hot dogs and mini donuts! This event is free and no registration is required. Please note, daylight savings time ends on Sunday, November 1 at 2:00am, so be sure to turn your clocks back one hour! How does a pumpkin smash work? It's easy! Just bring any pumpkins or squash that you no longer want, and we will have a place for you to toss them, or if you would like, you can smash them yourselves! Urban Canopy will then take them all back to add to their composting operation! It's a great way to get rid of your pumpkins after Halloween without having them end up in a landfill.
