Current Projects
Friends of Bayou Lafourche is excited to bring a fun, family-friendly activity to downtown Thibodaux and would love for you to be a part of it!
We’re hosting a Bayou Critter Crawl, a seek-and-find style game using the Life on Our Bayou activity books as participants’ “passports.” These books were created through a project funded by Keep Louisiana Beautiful!
Through a collaborative effort between the Bayou Lafourche Fresh Water District (BLFWD), Friends of Bayou Lafourche (FOBL), and Lafourche Parish Government (LPG), renderings for the “Melodia Public Boat Launch and Park” have been released. Additionally, the agencies are seeking feedback from the public through a brief survey.
FOBL has partnered with Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou and Lafourche Parish Government to install a bayou-side access point at the Lafourche Parish Visitor’s Center in Raceland.
Discussions concerning this project began when FOBL hosted a community “Meet & Greet” to speak with residents concerning what they would like to see improved along Bayou Lafourche in Assumption Parish.
Friends of Bayou Lafourche began discussions with Lafourche Parish Councilman Michael Gros, parish officials, and the Bayou Lafourche Freshwater District in late 2017 to make much-needed enhancements to the Leighton Boat Launch in Thibodaux.
We’re proud to partner with local organizations:
