Earth Day 2023 at Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Monroe, Louisiana

5/7/2023

0 Comments

 
 A good time was had by all at the Earth Day 2023 celebration event at Northeast Louisiana's Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge! There was also plenty of environmental education from soil science and herpetology to Climate Sience. 

This sort of event is great for outreach and recruiting new FoBB members and volunteers.
Would you like to join Friends of Black Bayou?


Friends of Black Bayou Lake NWR and Louisiana Master Naturalist Northeast member Dr. Anne Frazier was educating for Climate Change awareness from her "Eyes on the Climate" table display at the BBL-NWR Earth Day Celebration on April 22nd..
Anne says "I had great contributions from Erin Bellavia (formerly Cox) on the orphan well capping project for the North Louisiana Refuges Compex that's funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed in 2021. Tyler Fricker prepared the global surface temperature maps for 1980, 2000, and 2020, and Jana Giles shared ideas for content and presentation".

She says "Having a lattice as the support for the display worked out pretty well. My notion was that if the day were windy (which it often is at the refuge), a lattice would be more stable than standard poster board. As it turned out, the weather was very nice without much wind."

Thanks to Anne, brochures on the "Louisiana Master Naturalist Program" and "Healing Nature" brochures were available along with a sign-up sheet for prospective new members. Sure enough, a prospective new member signed up on the day!
