UNI Conservation Corps Projects
This is a set of materials and documents from the UNI Conservation Corps many projects.
UNI Conservation Corps is an initiative that is funded by the Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust that engages UNI students in putting knowledge into action to implement positive change in the context of community environmental conservation. We implement community projects in the areas of energy & climate action, ecological restoration, and improving community environmental health. Some student fellowships are available in each of these three areas for current UNI students.
