A note from Alexa Hickey, KEDM Member Services...
There are only a few things that I do regularly. One is listen to 90.3 KEDM. The other, is go to Black Bayou. My family has breathed in the sweet air on the pier, we have meditated in canoe with cypress trees, we have chased a deer on the trails, and we have peppered Nova with questions. For twenty years Friends of Black Bayou, (FoBB), has not only created, maintained, and supported Black Bayou, but been a tremendous friend to KEDM.  

​FoBB has stepped in once more to help KEDM for the Be the One Campaign. We are looking for 150 listeners to give $100. Be the One to help KEDM bring you a variety of stories from the diversity of the world we live in. Kris Kelley is a team leader, and would like your help in making FoBB team raise the most for the campaign. He and his team will be on air Thursday, June 8th from 3 to 6 pm. You may call at any time to donate, simply make sure to state you are giving for FoBB team. You can reach us at 318-342-5563 or online at kedm.org. Thank you and here is to another 20 years of friendship!

As always, there will be food, games, canoe trips, education, and winning photos on display from the Photo Contest, and lots more.

SPECIAL NIGHTTIME EVENT! The refuge is normally CLOSED at night -- but for this SPECIAL EVENT, come join Nova on a guided walk to listen, watch, and learn about frogs and frog voices that you hear at nighttime. Watch the last full moon of winter rise, too. Meet at the Visitor Center at 7PM.  Here is Nova's flyer with the details.
