Friends of the Dunes is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that has been involving the community in the conservation of coastal environments since 1982. Based in Humboldt County California, FOD is best known for dune ecosystem restoration, education programs and guided walks and operating the Humboldt Coastal Nature Center. We are dedicated to conserving the natural diversity of coastal environments in northern California through community supported education and stewardship programs. Our goal is to provide equitable and inclusive community education programs that foster a connection to the natural world while helping participants gain a deeper understanding and inspiration to care for the coastal environment they call home. We coordinate community-based restoration programs that serve to maintain and enhance the natural diversity and resilience of coastal environments. Work in partnership with Tribes, organizations, and agencies to ensure coastal ecosystems are conserved and stewarded for generations to come.
