​Hardy was a life-long educator and loved extending his passion for education to the next generations.  In honor of him, his partner in life and husband Ken Buhrmann has requested that donations be made to the Hardy McNew Education Endowment, created in partnership with the Katie Adamson Conservation Fund.

​

Your financial support will be utilized in local communities and around the world for educational programs and scholarships that improve lives, and help to preserve and protect the endangered animals we love.
