Welcome!     

     Friends of the Savannah Coastal Wildlife Refuges is an organization of volunteers from coastal Georgia and South Carolina dedicated to preserving and protecting the seven National Wildlife Refuges in our area and the Refuge System as a whole.  We are one of more than 230 Friends groups in the US affiliated with National Wildlife Refuges.

     These refuges are managed by the United States Fish & Wildlife Service and are part of the National Wildlife Refuge System, which currently consists of 561 Refuges totaling about 150 million acres of land and water across the US.  These acres are set aside to protect wildlife and wildlife habitat for all time.

   

     The Friends group is a 501(c)3 organization, qualified to receive tax-deductible contributions.  All of our financial support comes from contributions and memberships, grants, and sales at our book and nature store, The Gator Hole.

      This website contains posts of Upcoming Events, news about refuge and Friends activities, links to other sites and resources, and Members-only resources.  Please browse and enjoy.
