Friends of Black Bayou, Inc. is an award-winning, non-profit, community support organization that supports the protection and enhancement of Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge located in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana.  FoBB came into existence in August 1997 with a core group of dedicated supporters who cared about the Refuge and “dreamed big.” In a very short time, members began to see their dreams taking shape.
Educational opportunities are a top priority. A century-old planter’s home has been renovated and is used as the Visitor Center.

A wildlife observation pier, an observation deck, nature trails, a wetlands art project, and a photo blind have been built. Curriculum materials have been developed and the Conservation Learning Center was opened in October 2005.

Enjoy nature every day!
