Are you interested in inspiring young people to learn more about sustainable agriculture, food systems, and ecological awareness?
Oregon Tilth’s Organic Education Center is currently recruiting ”Farm Naturalists“ for our Field School program at JEAN’s Urban Forest Farm in SE Portland. These volunteers will help facilitate and lead multi-sensory field trips on Tuesdays and Thursdays from mid April to early June. Farm Naturalists will be asked to attend a volunteer training on April 1st from 9 am to 1:30 pm, and will ideally commit to leading at least two field trips during the spring.
This three-hour workshop explores how one takes the lead to initiate change with the help of a core group. The tools and principles have been developed for those who seek to advance the goal of creating a sustainable future.
