Volunteer: Volunteer Opportunity- Tree Planting

Overview: Join us for a unique opportunity to partner with Bemidji Regional Interdistrict Council (BRIC) to plant trees! BRIC is a special education cooperative that serves 11 small northern Minnesota school districts. Many areas around Bemidji, including BRIC, lost an estimated 9 million trees in the summer of 2025. The BRIC central office building lost most of its surrounding shade and forest trees. It's estimated roughly 100 trees were removed in the area surrounding the building.

Together we'll re-establish a biodiverse and resilient tree canopy! Volunteers will plant large-stock trees into pre-dug holes; this work will include loosening root balls, filling holes with soil, watering, and spreading mulch around newly planted trees. They will cool and clean the air, provide shade, and beautify the community. 


This event is part of the Cooling Minnesota Communities program – an initiative working to mitigate extreme heat, deepen climate resiliency, and increase access to urban tree canopies.


Register through this link! https://www.givepulse.com/event/721564-2026.06.02-Tree-Planting-in-Bemidji



No previous knowledge or experience is necessary!We'll provide the tools and training.The trees are roughly 20-30lb and 5-7ft tall. There will be light snacks and extra water available during the event. Bring your own reusable water bottle if you have one!

Thanks for joining us at Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge! Great River Greening is embarking upon a long-term partnership with the refuge to support their conservation efforts and this event marks our first partnership event together.

Containing over 11,500 acres, Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge is located at the headwaters of the Minnesota River and provides vital habitat for a variety of species, especially ground-nesting waterfowl. 

Volunteers will remove invasive species and haul recently downed wood to open up and support vital outcrop habitat, home to the rare ball cactus, one of three native cacti to the state of MN. Volunteers will also spread native seed once areas have been opened.

Volunteer: Barn Beautification and Maintenance

Volunteer Opportunity: Barn Beautification and Maintenance


Who We Are:

Our mission is to partner equine and mental health professionals with the unique gifts of the horse to offer hope, healing, compassion, confidence and strength to veterans and underprivileged children. Through horsemanship, our facilitators help to identify and improve an individual’s struggles with trust, mindfulness, empathy as well as communication and leadership skills.


Overview:

Join us for a rewarding volunteer experience that supports our equine-assisted therapy program, which provides healing and growth opportunities for at-risk youth and veterans. Whether you’re an individual or part of a group, your efforts will directly contribute to creating a safe, welcoming, and therapeutic environment for our participants and horses.


Volunteer Tasks:

Stable and Barn Care:

Cleaning and Organizing: Help with mucking stalls, sweeping aisles, and organizing tack and feed rooms. Keeping the barn clean and organized ensures a healthy environment for our horses and a pleasant space for participants.

Minor Repairs:  Assist with fixing fences, repairing gates, or doing light carpentry work around the barn. Handy volunteers can make a big difference in maintaining a safe space.

Grounds Maintenance:

Landscaping: Participate in activities such as weeding, planting flowers, and maintaining pastures. This keeps our facility inviting and calm, which is essential for the therapeutic process.

Trail Maintenance: Help maintain and clear riding trails used in therapy sessions. This may involve trimming branches, picking up debris, or adding new markers along the paths.

Horse Care Assistance:

Grooming and Feeding: Assist with grooming the horses, filling water buckets, and preparing forage. While direct horse handling may require some prior experience, these tasks are crucial in keeping our horses healthy and happy.

Tack Cleaning: Help clean and organize halters, lead ropes, carrot sticks, and other equipment to ensure they are in good condition for therapy sessions.

Special Projects:

Art and Creative Contributions: Volunteers with artistic skills can help design and paint murals, signs, or create other decorative elements around the facility that add to the therapeutic atmosphere.

Videography/Photography: Volunteers interested in photography, videography, or media development can help create social media, newsletter, fliers or other content that help spread the word about services offered and volunteer opportunities.

Event Preparation: Help set up for special events or fundraisers, including setting up tents, arranging seating, and decorating the space.

Administrative Support:

Office Assistance: For those who prefer indoor work, there’s always a need for help with marketing, fundraising, filing, data entry, or preparing materials for upcoming sessions and events.


Who Can Volunteer:

This opportunity is perfect for individuals, families, corporate groups, or community organizations. All skill levels are welcome, and tasks will be assigned based on experience and comfort level. We especially encourage groups to join us for a day of service, as many hands make light work.


Impact:

By volunteering your time and energy, you are directly supporting the healing journeys of at-risk youth and veterans. Your efforts help maintain a safe and nurturing environment where participants can connect with horses, find peace, and experience personal growth.


Time Commitment:

Volunteers can sign up for one hour, half-day, full-day, or ongoing shifts. We also offer special “Volunteer Work Days” where larger projects are tackled with the help of many hands.


How to Sign Up:

Interested volunteers can sign up on our website (https://www.windfallequestriancenter.com/windfall-equine-therapy-center-volunteer-application/) or contact our volunteer coordinator to discuss the best ways to contribute based on your skills, interests, and availability.

Volunteer: Master Water Stewards (Age 18 +)

The Master Water Stewards program certifies and supports community leaders to protect and improve the health of MN's water. Wherever you live, you can join over 250 Master Water Steward volunteers and work in our own community to contribute to the millions of gallons of polluted stormwater that stewards are keeping out of our lakes and rivers each year.

Everything on city streets flows to our water- bacteria, salt, litter, sediment, fertilizer. Each year, more polluted runoff reach our lakes and rivers faster, causing flooding downstream. Pollutants are not being filtered or broken down by passing through the soil, making water dirtier.

Learn how you can make a real difference just by joining your neighbors in action.
