March 18th is the Great American Cleanup Day, sponsored by Ouachita Green. Join us at Black Bayou to help pick-up litter along the trails, the lake edge and boardwalks.

Register online with Ouachita Green so that supplies will be waiting for us! See:

We will meet at the Visitor Center to assign coverage areas at 9:00AM.

Join the Friends of Black Bayou in our effort to keep the refuge a litter free place for all to enjoy, not just on March 18th, but every time you visit the refuge or the lake.
