About Friends of Gavin's Point National Fish Hatchery

The Friends of Gavins Point National Fish Hatchery, Inc. was incorporated in July 2006 by a small group of local citizens from counties in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota. These individuals represent different personal and professional backgrounds, but they share a common goal. They care about fish and wildlife and want to make a difference for the benefit of the community.

Our Vision
To have an informed community working together to conserve, protect, and enhance the natural resources for the benefit of its citizens.
