Wildlife Counts with Sharing Our Roots

Volunteer opportunity for anyone who wants to learn about

Minnesota’s native species.

Looking for

2-4 volunteers who can help us collect bird and amphibian data at the Sharing Our Roots Farm

(4905 315 th St. W).

WildlifeCounts is a citizen science wildlife monitoring project that seeks to document the return
of wildlife to the Sharing Our Roots Farm, educate on the importance of wildlife on agricultural
lands and offer conservation tools to farmers and landowners who wish to preserve biodiversity
on their farms. Each year, we catalog the presence of birds and amphibians to understand the
impacts of our regenerative practices on native species.

Watch our Volunteer Page for future opportunities.

Adopt-a-Catch Basin and help reduce flooding and improve water quality of nearby surface waters, by keeping it free of leaves, debris and litter! An often overlooked piece of street infrastructure, catch basins play a crucial role in removing excess rainwater from our streets and keeping our communities safe from flooding. By cleaning our catch basins before and after rain events, in the fall to remove leaves, and in the winter to remove snow and ice, and keeping our catch basins clear, our water bodies clean, and our neighborhoods vibrant places to live, work and play.

Individuals, families, youth organizations, businesses, schools, anyone over the age of 18 can sign up to help. Individuals under the age of 18 can assist in cleaning catch basins, however they must be accompanied by an adult.
