If you have access to a 3D printer and want to help young students in south King County learn about the animals they will encounter as they explore the beach, this is a perfect project for you!

The Environmental Science Center's Beach Heroes program partners with local schools to help Kindergarten-2nd graders learn about the organisms that live on the beach and how to protect them. The ESC provides free or reduced-cost transportation to local beaches for these students, in addition to a classroom visit from an ESC naturalist. Prior to their field trip, students create their own field guides by doing crayon rubbings of the templates that you will reproduce!

The ESC relies on volunteers to make these templates, and the matching funds donated by your employer will support the creation and delivery of environmental science education programs for residents throughout south King County, including students in the Highline, Renton, Tukwila, Auburn, and Kent school districts. During the COVID crisis, ESC has opted not to charge any school groups for participating in our virtual live-streamed field trips; your matching funds will help the ESC continue to operate without that source of income.

This project aims to monitor the presence and movement of flora and fauna in the Blue Mountains and provide long-term records of changes that may reflect influences such as climate change and urban development.

Our volunteer citizen scientists service camera trap installations to capture movements of fauna in real-time as well as take manual photographs in fixed locations to capture long-term changes to flora and ecosystems.

Taking and collecting these images involves short, pleasant walks into the bush (the urban-bushland interface) along easy walking tracks, involving volunteer groups of 2-6 people.

These images are collected each month and uploaded to the BMWHI database. All images are then codified and analysed by our research team, then uploaded to the Atlas of Living Australia database using the BioCollect tool designed for citizen science projects.

There are several opportunities to do seva including cleaning the premises, gardening, painting, new floor installation.

Young African students have become less motivated to continue studying science in school because of lack of role models in the science field. Even with the science laboratory practicals and hands on activities they are involved in, they have few career icons to look up to apart from their science teachers.

African students are in dire need of role models in the science field that will motivate them to pursue their chosen career path, a constant connection with scientists across their locality or world wide through our weekly science career talks on zoom from scientists from all around the world will help them expand their horizon to see the big picture beyond their class rooms and laboratories, this will in turn empower them to be the great scientists they aspire to become.

COVID 19 drove us all apart, use this as an opportunity to reconnect with your team and get outdoors. Take time away from the office and enjoy a rewarding day, team building at a community farm, in the heart of Melbourne!

Corporate experiences are a wonderful way for businesses to make a social impact whilst bolstering their reputation within the community, building teams and developing staff skills.

Raising capital will allow Collingwood Children’s Farm to broaden what it has to offer and further invest in capital works that will make the Farm a core green space in the heart of the city. By booking your Corporate Experience session, you will be playing a key role in the ongoing sustainability of Collingwood Children’s Farm’s programs and investing in the future of an organisation that seeks to address issues, such as climate change and building community for those facing adversity.

Bringing your team for a day at Collingwood Children’s Farm makes an enormous difference to the community and benefits volunteers personally. It offers the chance to make social connections, develop skills and confidence and develop professional networks, while earning the satisfaction that only a hard day’s work can bring.

And, of course, it’s fun!

Corporate team experience days with CCF are invaluable; you are uniquely placed to tackle large jobs that could otherwise take the Farm weeks or months to complete.
Farm work is physical, outdoors and usually dirty. You might be unloading a delivery of hay, helping set up for our monthly Farmers Market or getting stuck into the gardens.

The list of jobs is endless, but we do have the ability to tailor work to suit all abilities, so no one is left out.

$1000 +GST for a group of up to 12 participants .

CALLING ALL ADVENTURERS!
Emergent Productions is a nonprofit organization that's on a mission to inspire environmental awareness and inspire people to do what they can to protect our planet. With World Cleanup Day being on 9/18/2021, it's the perfect day to set an example and join in on the fun. That's where YOU come in.

We want to create a highlight video showing our volunteers participating in World Cleanup Day and picking up trash themselves, and send us videos and/or photos of your experience. Take a selfie video explaining why you're cleaning, pictures or videos of the trash you found, etc. Take a bag with you (if you have a reusable bag, that's even better) and just spend some time cleaning up. After you are done, count how many pieces of each kind of trash you found (bottles, bottle caps, bags, wrappers, etc.) - we will want to report this data in the video. There is no specific location for this volunteer event. Just make sure it is located in a natural or green space either in a forest, trail, riverbank, beach, park, etc.

- Do you love being out in nature and doing good for the world?
- Do you have fun taking pictures and/or videos?
- Do you want to inspire others to love the outdoors as much as you?
THEN WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
- Camera shy? No worries, just show us the trash you found and where you are.

HOW TO FILM!
This can be shot with your phone or camera. We just ask that you film it horizontally in landscape mode so we can use it for editing (Portrait mode is limiting and not nearly as versatile). Get Creative! This can be a selfie video saying why you are cleaning up, a video of the trash you found, any weird or unexpected trash, shots of the place you are cleaning, etc. We just want your PASSION to shine through! Make sure to count how many pieces of each kind of trash you found (bottles, cans, bags, wrappers, bottle caps, etc.) as well and report it to us (this can be in your message when sending the video/photos).

SENDING VIDEOS AND PHOTOS!
The video or photos can be sent to us using https://wetransfer.com/, which is a free site that lets you transfer files that are too large for email. Please send to info@emergentproductions.org. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. We can't wait to see the adventures!
