The Friends of Louisiana Wildlife Refuges, Inc. is a non-profit, membership organization that supports and advocates for the SELA Refuges. They sponsor several of the refuge annual events, obtain grants to support refuge projects, conduct fund-raising activities to support environmental education programs and help us operate and maintain the refuge facilities and programs by conducting weekend "work-play" days. We appreciate their support and encourage others to become members of the "Friends" organization.

As a member, you'll have the opportunity to plan and conduct the activities that make the Friends of Louisiana Wildlife Refuges a unique and important organization. You have a choice of active committee appointments and can work on projects of special interest to you and the entire membership. You join a unique group of individuals who have grown to be great "friends", as they share the rewards of promoting educational and environmental projects throughout our refuge system.

Please visit the Friends of Louisiana Wildlife Refuges, Inc. web site to learn more about them.
