We
want to expand existing programs and work with new partners to modify
activities to fit their sites and help students protect Hawaii’s
natural environment in their own communities.
The Nature
Conservancy of Hawaii will help new partners implement and manage
their own Project Stewardship programs based on the existing model,
which has been developed and tested over the past four years with our Oahu
program.
If
you have a commitment to community outreach and a desire to increase
public involvement and participation in conservation, let us show you
how Project Stewardship can benefit your community!
Benefits
of involving community volunteers/student volunteers in a program such as
Project Stewardship:
- Improve agency/landowner's relationship with community.
- Raise public awareness of the importance of preserving natural
resources.
- Additional people to help with natural resources management work.
- Instilling a conservation ethic in the future stewards of this land.
- Students are able to learn and meet educational standards.
- Students are able to work with and have natural resources management
professionals as their mentors.
- Students are able to explore careers in natural resources
management
and conservation.
