KNWRC Environmental Education

The M艒l墨 (Laysan Albatross) Lifecycle Program

K墨lauea Point National Wildlife Refuge provides programming for more than 500 second- and third-grade students from Hanalei to L墨hu驶e each year. Students take part in three classroom sessions before visiting the refuge, where they can observe wildlife life cycle stages in person.

Transportation costs are covered by the Friends of Kaua驶i National Wildlife Refuges, as funding allows.

Teachers interested in participating should email [email protected] by Oct. 15.
