You can see maps of our three “treks” at Mt. Sherman, the Intermediate School and the HMI Campus. Our data is part of the overarching GO3 Project, where
At the end of the month, HMI will be in New Jersey, Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Washington DC, and Pennsylvania to present information on our Semester and Summer Term.
