Friends of Black Bayou
The Friends of Black Bayou (FoBB) is the volunteer support group for the refuge. FoBB came into existence in August 1997, shortly after the refuge was established. A core group of dedicated supporters dreamed big and fundraised and coordinated the restoration of the plantation house that serves as the Refuge Visitor Center. Every year they sponsor a Fall Celebration during National Refuge Week with free activities, food, exhibitors, and lots of fun. They sponsor an annual Photo Contest every fall and photos are displayed year round in the Visitor Center. Meetings are held the third Monday of the month at 6:30 PM at the Visitor Center and are open to the public and anyone interested in the refuge.
