Autumn is in full swing at [Compost for Brooklyn](http://compostforbrooklyn.org/?ref=bklyner.com) (Newkirk Avenue at E. 8th Street), which has a busy fall lineup of activities, including its [Celebrate Urban Trees event](https://www.facebook.com/compostforbrooklyn/posts/10153205994227729) on Sunday, October 19, from 1pm to 3pm.

Everyone is invited to the event, which is free (though donations are appreciated, as the group runs on volunteers) and will include a tree care workshop, composting activities for families and children, the chance to make a mini-book about trees, refreshments, and live music by [Baharat](https://www.facebook.com/Baharatband) – a local band that plays music influenced by Middle to Far Eastern cultures.

In other[ Compost for Brooklyn](https://www.facebook.com/compostforbrooklyn?fref=ts) news, the group has extended its compost and garden hours – which means it’s also looking for more volunteers.

The garden will now be open:

- Every Thursday, from 1-3:30pm (October) and 2pm-4pm (November & December)
- Every second and fourth Saturday, from 11am-1pm (October 11 & 12, November 8 & 22, and December 13 & 27)
- Every first and third Sunday, from 2-4pm (October 5, November 2 & 16, and December 7 and 21)

If you’d like to volunteer, please email Natalia, Compost for Brooklyn’s volunteer coordinator, at [snucre@optonline.net](mailto:snucre@optonline.net?subject=Compost%20Open%20Hour%20Volunteer).

And, last but not least, Compost for Brooklyn will also be holding a leaf collection event on Sunday, November 2, when you can bring your bagged leaves to be used at the garden.
