Composting

Composting is an easy way to contribute to environmental sustainability in your own community. Composting turns food scraps, plant clippings, and other compostable items into nutrient-rich soil; a far better alternative than allowing these items to pile up in a landfill and put off methane.

Our friends at Hillside Solutions have created a quick start guide for composting and recycling!

​We've even teamed up with Hillside Solutions to bring a compost club drop-off site to Benson!

Rewilding

Rewilding is one element of the sustainability efforts our community must engage in to combat climate change and ensure the health of our environment.

What is rewiliding?
Rewilding is the act of fostering healthy animal and plant growth within society by returning parts of the environment to their natural states.

Rewilding Omaha is a program aiming to reintroduce nature to the city. By providing resources and opportunities, Rewilding Omaha hopes to educate and activate community members in the practice of rewilding.
Rewilding Omaha


One easy way to get involved in rewilding in your own community is to include native plants in your outdoor spaces!
