Save Our Seedlings Campaign!

The Friends of Hakalau Forest NWR have been working around the clock this week to develop a plan to mitigate the impact of losing three staff positions at the Refuge. This plan is a stop-gap measure to alleviate undesirable outcomes at the Refuge and is not intended to replace Federal funding for these positions long-term.

Our goal is to raise $150,000 to provide refuge support and cover at least two of the vital positions which were lost (for one year each), including the very important Nursery Manager which was formerly filled by Eric Hamren.

Please fill out the form to donate.

If you prefer to make your payment by check, please mail to:
Friends of Hakalau Forest NWR, PO Box 6065, Hilo, HI 96720
