Kilauea lighthouse Will Soon Close Two Days a Week

By /

From The Garden Island:

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will reduce the days Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge is open to the public to five days a week.  

The refuge will be closed each Sunday and Monday throughout the year starting February 2-3. Visitors will be able to visit the refuge Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. except most major holidays.

The reduction is necessary due to flat and declining budgets, according to a press release. Read more.
