Our mission is to support, preserve, promote, and enhance Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge

and its use for recreational, educational, and scientific research purposes.

The Friends of Anahuac Refuge (FOAR) is a volunteer run, 501(c)(3) non-profit, advocacy organization supporting Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge.  The Friends have contributed tens of thousands of volunteers hours to the refuge and have completed numerous projects over the years.  Since being established in 1997, the Friends has served as a link between the refuge and community.  Our members range from local residents who regularly visit the refuge to travelers from all over the world who come to see the refuge.  Our News and Events pages provide the latest information about recent happenings and future events on the refuge.

FOAR, along with the National Wildlife Refuge Association and over 200 Friends groups across the country, support the National Wildlife Refuge System.
