Volunteer with Zenger Farm’s Field Trips Spring 2010

Volunteers are essential to our experiential field trips and service-learning projects. We need you to help lead Zenger Farm field trips.

The 90 minute to 3 hour field trips provide visiting youth with opportunities to learn about:

Sustainable farming practices, Healthy soils, Botany, Wetland ecology, Insects, Compost, Red Wiggler Worms, Chickens, Honey Bees, Fresh food and more.

Commitment: We ask that our Field Trip Volunteers commit to help lead about one field trip per week, March though early June (two to four volunteer hours a week).
