Community Education and Outreach
Historically, up to 500,000 people per year have visited Kīlauea Point NWR to enjoy its immense beauty, experience our wildlife and learn about the history of the Daniel K. Inouye Kīlauea Point Lighthouse.
One of the signature initiatives of Friends of Kauaʻi Wildlife Refuges is our Community Education Program.
Our team staffs the Visitor Center and Nature Store at Kīlauea Point NWR. We share our passion for this special place, information about the wildlife conservation, habitat maintenance and environmental education programs carried out by our Refuge partners, tips on how we can each help - while visiting the Island of Kauaʻi and wherever our guests call home - and other information about our mission.
Together, we protect, preserve, educate and inspire!
Community Events
We also serve as the public face for our Refuge partners at community events, festivals and other gatherings across the island.
We share information about the wildlife we help to preserve and protect and the work of our three national wildlife refuges, provide engaging activities for keiki and families, recruit volunteers, solicit donations and share the story of our three amazing national wildlife refuges.
Friends of Kauaʻi Wildlife Refuges also produces events designed to provide access to our Refuges and activities that inspire community members of all ages.
