Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge seeks new volunteers to keep the cultural and natural history of Kilauea Point alive.

New volunteers will serve as ambassadors for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Volunteer opportunities include: interpreting the natural history of Kaua'i's seabirds, native coastal plants and marine mammals; sharing the cultural history of Kilauea Point and the historic Kilauea Lighthouse Station; and restoring native plant communities.

"The volunteers at Kilauea Point are today's lighthouse keepers. These folks keep the light shining by sharing the stories of Kilauea Point and illuminate a sense of place for refuge visitors," said refuge manager Mike Hawkes.

The volunteer program seeks long-term or even part-year commitments from Kaua'i residents. Prospective volunteers interested in participating in the volunteer training should contact Sheri Saari at 635-6367.
