Transportation and equipment are provided. This is a great program to volunteer with along with a group or some friends. Arbor Sporadic Commitment Campus Arbor is a program devoted to learning about the environment while aiding with the restoration and cleanup of the Carleton Cowling Arboretum and McKnight Prairie. Activities include collecting prairie grass seeds, removing brush and trash, and planting and protecting native tree seedlings. The Carleton Humane Society program is dedicated to improving the lives of domestic animals through education and service.
Transportation is provided when necessary, and time commitment is very flexible.
Volunteers work directly with the animals, as well as performing small tasks for the Faribault shelter. Sign up outside the ACT office to ride the van any Saturday or Sunday during the term. Volunteers help educate Carleton and the community on pet care, spaying and neutering, and owner responsibility. Kids For Conservation Weekly Commitment Community KFC was initiated to give Northfield elementary school children the knowledge about environmental issues that they will need in these rapidly changing times. Lesson plans are designed by some of the volunteers and are taught in teams of four.
