SUMMARY:Nursery and Seed Work at Onion Creek
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a morning of seed-based restoration at the Onion house on the Water Quality Protection Lands (WQPL). These workdays are part of ongoing restoration efforts to establish diverse and resilient grasslands that improve water quality and quantity in the Barton Springs segment of the Edwards Aquifer. \nTasks vary and\, depending on the workday and season\, may include working with seeds and plants in the plant nursery\, processing collected seed\, or venturing out on the property to harvest or sow seed. We will share details with you before each workday. \nThis workday may involve walking over uneven surfaces and through tall vegetation\, carrying and using tools\, working in exposed full sun areas\, and some bending over. Wear closed-toe shoes and bring drinking water and work gloves\, if you have a pair (we’ll have extras). \nDue to the tasks\, nature of the terrain\, and lack of amenities\, these workdays are generally best suited to older youth and adults. There is no running water on site (unless we are working at the house/nursery)\, and pets and smoking are not permitted. All participants under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian. \nLocated in the Driftwood area on FM 967 near FM 1626: bit.ly/onion967. Learn more about the WQPL at austintexas.gov/WQPLstory.

SUMMARY:Founding Friends\, Founding Foes: Civic Friendship & Coalitions in the Age of John Adams & Thomas Jefferson
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, October 21\, the LBJ Presidential Library will welcome the Adams Presidential Center and Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello to Austin for a Declaration of Independence 250th anniversary headline event\, Founding Friends\, Founding Foes: Civic Friendship & Coalitions in the Age of John Adams & Thomas Jefferson. \nThis evening is hosted as part of the LBJ Presidential Library’s series celebrating the special exhibit The American Experiment. \nParticipants include: \n\nKurt Graham\, President & CEO\, Adams Presidential Center\, Quincy\, Massachusetts\nJane Kamensky\, President & CEO\, Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello\, Charlottesville\, Virginia\nModerator: Mark Updegrove\, Chairman & CEO\, LBJ Foundation\, Austin\, Texas\n\nThis free public program draws on Monticello’s successful Founding Friends\, Founding Foes Tour\, which examines the complicated relationship between second and third U.S. presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson— two Founding-era leading figures who were at various times friends\, allies\, and bitter\, partisan rivals. Panelists and audience members will explore the challenges and triumphs of the American Revolution and early United States\, revealing how a constitutional democracy was born through disagreement\, coalition-building\, and a commitment to shared values and finding common cause. \n\nPost-Event Meet-Up \n\n\nFollowing the program\, guests are invited to Lazarus Brewing Company (1902 East Sixth Street) for a chance to further connect using Monticello’s specially designed Feast of Reason conversation cards.  \n\nK-12 Educators Workshop \nK-12 educators are also invited to join the Adams Center\, LBJ Library\, and Monticello education teams from 11:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. for a full-day workshop at the Library that delves deeper into the history and civics content of Founding Friends\, Founding Foes. Educators will then join the evening program; please do not register for both. Please click here for more information or to register for the educator workshop. \nAbout The American Experiment exhibit \nThrough an exceptional partnership with the National Archives and Records Administration and the Briscoe Center for American History\, the LBJ Presidential Library will showcase extraordinary original documents that have shaped the course of American history. Across four rotating exhibitions on display May 30 through January 10\, visitors will encounter defining moments—from the Brown v. Board of Education decision and the Fourteenth Amendment to the Louisiana Purchase and the Wright Brothers’ Flying Machine Patent. \nDocuments on display on the evening of October 21st will include Walter Cronkite’s reporter’s notebook from the Tet offensive in February 1968; a letter from Robert E. Lee to Confederate general dated August 1\, 1865\, offering his opinion on the cause of the defeat at Appomattox Court House in April 1865; and a letter written by George Washington to John Armstrong on August 24\, 1769. \nThe American Experiment initiative pairs these iconic artifacts with dynamic public programs featuring leading historians\, authors\, and thought leaders. Together\, we hope to explore how the American story has unfolded over 250 years—and where it may go next. \nLocation and parking \nThe conversation will be hosted in the 10th floor Atrium of the LBJ Presidential Library. Free parking will be available at the LBJ Library visitors’ lot located at 2313 Red River Street. \nRegistration \nAdvance registration is requested as space is limited. Please register here.
