One of the
primary activities of the HCUCA is public
education through our Community Outreach
Program. The goal of the program is to educate
the public on urban conservation practices that
can improve the County’s water quality, air
quality, soil quality, and wildlife habitat. In
addition, the program educates the public about
the benefits of native trees, shrubs, grasses,
and wildflowers in order to encourage their use
instead of introduced species which can become
invasive.
Activities of
the Community Outreach Program include:
assisting schools with the creation of outdoor
education centers/schoolyard habitats;
conducting workshops, field day programs, and
seminars; sponsoring the Fishers Arbor Day essay
contest; and participating in other programs.
