Friends of Kaua'i Wildlife Refuges

Friends of Kauaʻi Wildlife Refuges serves as a nonprofit “Friends Group” supporting the environmental and wildlife conservation, historic preservation and community education programs of the Kauaʻi National Wildlife Refuge Complex, which is administered by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and includes Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), Hanalei NWR and Hulēʻia NWR. The organization helps to fill in the gaps in the programs administered by the Refuge team by providing much-needed funding and staffing support. Friends of Kauaʻi Wildlife Refuges also manages the Nature Store and Visitor Center at Kīlauea Point NWR, supports education programs, administers an annual scholarship, conducts community outreach, and much more!

Through the North Shore Give Week campaign, we are seeking to raise funds for two exciting projects this year:

1) “Ka Pae ʻAina O Hawaiʻi Nei”, a beautiful new mosaic tile mural interpretative display for Kīlauea Point NWR.

2) Support for the rehabilitation of sick and injured wildlife transferred from one of our three national wildlife refuges and into the expert care of our partners at Save Our Shearwaters.
