About Friends of the Kaw

For over thirty years, our water-focused friends group has been the only grassroots conservation group dedicated to protecting the Kansas River. Friends of the Kaw's mission is to protect and preserve the Kansas River for future generations, to advocate for the rehabilitation of the Kansas River’s environs, including its water quality and wildlife habitat, to discover and promote compatible public recreational uses of the Kansas River and encourage the development of public access, to educate the public about the importance, benefits, and beauty of the Kansas River, and to cooperate with other persons, organizations, and public agencies in support of a healthy Kansas River ecosystem.
