The Kids Co-op is expanding and needs lots of help to role out our many different services that contributes to a blueprint template for any rural school or community to replicate. We are the recipient of the 2023 USDA Farm to School grant that involves putting greenhouses, salad bars, indoor grow towers and gardens into 12 Sanders County schools. We're also going to be delivering local food to the schools for the next two years by setting up an online ordering and bi-monthly distribution. We have a school fundraising program where the students will get prizes and funds for community uplifting projects from the proceeds of the CSA and other local food subscriptions they sell and help distribute. We need help to develop a website other than just using our Facebook page. This will need an online store to market everything from local food to local art, body products, home products, and mostly product from the NW region and Montana. Also need to tie into community outreach via social media and other methods. We also are need of coordinating fundraising events and grant writing to purchase the building we're renting.

Are you looking for a way to spend time outside in nature while contributing to a worthy cause? Then this micro-volunteering opportunity is perfect for you!

EcoSpark is an environmental charity connecting people to their local natural environment through education, monitoring and stewardship. We believe that citizen science is a powerful tool for spreading awareness and mobilizing local data collection. By collecting biodiversity observations through iNaturalist, you can learn more about the local species living around you, and help scientists working to study and protect them.

Safely explore nature from wherever you are by finding wild species close to home. Whether this means taking a walk through your local park, or watching birds from your window, you can make observations from wherever you experience nature.

1. Download iNaturalist and make an account (users must be 13 years or older to make an account).
2. Join EcoSpark’s iNaturalist project.
3. Go outside and safely observe a wild plant or animal.
4. Take a clear picture or record a sound of what you find. Be sure to note the location.
5. Upload your observation to iNaturalist. If you know the species, great! If not, put your best guess (if you know it’s a ‘plant’ for example, but aren't sure what kind, just put ‘plant’).
6. Congratulations! You have just contributed valuable data to science. Feel free to continue to make observations, as each observation helps provide a more complete picture for ecologists.

Be aware of human and wildlife safety at all times and explore natural areas responsibly with ethical wildlife photography. To support biodiversity research focus on: wild insects, birds, weeds, and other wild plants, animals and fungi (rather than cultivated species like garden flowers).
