Friends of Alaska National Wildlife Refuges Charity Profile

Friends of Alaska National Wildlife Refuges is an independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to promoting the conservation of the natural resources of all the Alaska National Wildlife Refuges. The Friends promote understanding and appreciation of these refuges and assist the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in meeting its mandates.

Our goals are:
Educate the public and decision makers on local, national, and international levels about Alaska's National Wildlife Refuges.
Assist the refuges in accomplishing their missions through wildlife management and habitat improvement projects.
Fund refuge-oriented projects through grants, memberships, donations, and other activities.

Volunteers contributed over 1,000 hours and traveled hundreds of miles to pull weeds at Izembek, Kanuti, Kenai, Kodiak, Tetlin and Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuges. Target weeds included Canada thistle, white sweet clover, orange hawkweed, and the common dandelion. Funding for this project was provided by Volunteers with Invasives, a national program of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
