The Coastal Wildlife Refuge Society (CWRS) is a non-profit organization established and incorporated in 1989 by a group of local citizens. The purposes of the Society are two-fold: 1) To generate funds to support programs and activities of Alligator River and other national wildlife refuges in eastern North Carolina, particularly programs relating to public education and information, and 2) To assist in the recruitment of refuge volunteers. In general, the Society provides support for programs and initiatives identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. CWRS has a formal Friends Partnership Agreement with the Coastal North Carolina National Wildlife Refuge Complex.
