Volunteer Opportunities
Student volunteer opportunities include: participating in our radio show, supporting Cannon River sampling and dialogue, participating in farm harvest and food systems activities, conducting zero waste audits, mending & repairing workshops, or collaborating on joint projects across schools, offices, clubs and community that are focused on Climate Action. We regularly support volunteers throughout the year and welcome inquiries about our larger events with Northfield Earth Day.
There are also abundant volunteer opportunities in the Arboretum. These include invasive species control, trail maintenance, collecting seeds, planting trees or shrubs, and more.
