We believe education and community involvement are key elements of environmental stewardship. HRM offers a variety of services intended to provide outstanding, unique training opportunities as well as excellent opportunities to involve citizens in protecting, restoring and monitoring habitats. These services, in conjunction with existing projects, can foster environmental awareness, decrease project costs, and increase favorable opinions of changes made in the community.
