As federal budgets become more uncertain, the Friends are called upon to assist in myriad ways. We want to help your refuges continue to protect wildlife habitat and provide the public with opportunities to visit, enjoy and learn.

 

Your membership dues enable us to:

  • leverage funds for grants for refuge projects

  • pay stipends for student interns that assist limited refuge staff, and enable them to explore wildlife-related careers

  • offer free environmental education programs on the refuges and in classrooms throughout our communities

  • maintain and upgrade visitor center exhibits at our Lacombe headquarters

  • present public events such as the Bayou Gardens Open House, Annual Youth Fishing Rodeo, Cajun Christmas celebration, and the very popular "Wild Things" each October

  • increase and maintain facilities such as boardwalks, nature trails, and interpretive signs 

Your membership helps you take an active part in making these programs possible. Membership is open to any individual, family, or organization interested in supporting the Friends of Louisiana Wildlife Refuges. Members receive an e-Newsletter and  15% discount at the Gift Shop in the Bayou Lacombe Visitor Center.
