Friends of Bayou Teche National Wildlife Refuge

The Friends of Bayou Teche National Wildlife Refuge, established in 2005, aid in the refuge goals to preserve habitat. The Friends promote the mission of the refuge and each year lead guided hiking and paddle trips so that others can enjoy the beauty of the refuge and Louisiana. We hope that you will enjoy seeing what the refuge has to offer!

Partner Category

We often partner with non-governmental conservation organizations on conservation projects, whether it's to conserve identified species such as the monarch butterfly or to advise on land acquisition for conservation so that it has the greatest benefit for species.

Those who experience the outdoors and wildlife first-hand become its greatest conservationists.  We partner with these groups to foster their love of wildlife and conservation.

Here we partner with a wider variety of other organizations on projects to meet shared conservation goals.
