Earthroots is a grassroots non-profit environmental organization
dedicated to protecting wilderness, wildlife and watersheds, through
research, education and action. We are currently seeking two outgoing,
responsible, environmentally-minded people to join us this summer.

will go to schools and community events, or help us research and plan

inner-workings of a small environmental group, and environmental
issues in Ontario.
