Who We Are

A 501(c)3 Non-profit Organization

Friends of the Dunes (FOD) is a not-for-profit that has been involving the community in the conservation of coastal environments since 1982. Based in Humboldt County California, FOD is best known for coastal ecosystem restoration, education programs and guided walks. In its role as a land trust, FOD acquired 113 acres of coastal dune property now known as the Humboldt Coastal Nature Center (HCNC). Efforts are currently underway to transform the HCNC's Stamps House into an interpretive center and home base for FOD programs.
