Fall Celebration 2025 Canceled Due to Government Shutdown
​

Friends of Black Bayou regrets to announce that the annual Fall Celebration, originally scheduled for Saturday, October 11, has been cancelled due to the ongoing federal government shutdown, which has temporarily closed refuge facilities and visitor access to buildings at Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge.

Although the Visitor Center and Conservation Learning Center are closed, the refuge’s trails and boat launch remain open for public use. Visitors are encouraged to continue enjoying the natural beauty of the area responsibly during this time.

Friends of Black Bayou looks forward to resuming programs and events when the refuge fully reopens, including a future dedication of the newly completed Snake Room in the Conservation Learning Center.

We appreciate the community’s understanding and continued support of our mission to celebrate and protect Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge.

Sincerely,
​
Board of Directors
Friends of Black Bayou, Inc.
