The Ballance Farm Environment Awards recognise and celebrate good farm practices that promote sustainable land management through an annual awards program that runs in 11 regions throughout New Zealand. Hill Labs is a national sponsor of the awards and entrants can win the Hill Labs Agri-Science Award. This award recognises excellence in the use of technology tools to increase productivity and minimise environmental impacts.
House of Science strives to raise scientific literacy with a library of comprehensive science resource kits for primary and intermediate schools. They are committed to supporting teachers by providing resources that deliver an engaging introduction to science at an early age. In Waikato we sponsor the Water Analysis and Soil Secrets resource kits where schools can test the water and land quality near them. While in Christchurch we have sponsored the Mighty Microbes kits.
