Friends of Herring River
Mission: To inspire and accelerate restoration of estuaries and ecosystems for the benefit of nature and all people.
Now 15 years young, FHR incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit organization to serve as an essential partner to initiate and support the Herring River Restoration Project (HRRP) on Outer Cape Cod (Massachusetts).
HRRP aims to restore nearly 1,000 acres of degraded saltmarsh and coastal habitat. Our skilled team and volunteers ensure HRRP stays on track by securing grant funds and permits, managing contracts, monitoring rare species, running events to keep the public informed, and so much more!
