The aim of a Natural Resource Centre is to promote and increase knowledge of Natural Resource Management issues within the community. The Fleurieu Environment Centre is a non-profit organisation that supports Natural Resource Management information and initiatives within the region. The centre opened in 1997 and provides a focal point for the community to obtain information through a wide range of free info and resources. Their mission is to encourage and support the community to achieve the conservation of the Fleurieu's bio-diverse natural environment.
