Celebrate the coming of spring with us and NET, Nebraska's PBS and NPR stations, during American Spring LIVE on Saturday, April 20, 2019. The grounds of Homestead National Monument of America will be ‘spring’ing with activity. The event will include numerous booths featuring: citizen science activities, crafts, and abundant information on the different citizen science organizations, their projects and how to get involved. It will also highlight the many ways Citizen Scientists can get involved right here at Homestead National Monument of America!
