Ways to Support Friends of Black Bayou Lake NWR

Friends of Black Bayou are planting gardens around the refuge to help pollinators! YOU can help, too! FoBB is now accepting donations of any amount from the public to go toward paying for the costs of planting these gardens, and for educating the public about how pollinators benefit life.​

Adopt-a-Tree and/or Memorial Donations
Friends of Black Bayou accepts donations in memory either as direct contributions for a memorial fund or through our Adopt-a-Tree Program. Adopt-a-Tree for education, in memory of someone, or even to honor someone. You can choose the type of tree you'd like to adopt, too!   All proceeds from adopted trees help to support the educational, recreational, and environmental goals of Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge. Names of adopters (and those memorialized or honored) are displayed on a plaque inside the Visitor Center. FoBB is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so your donations may be tax deductible.
