BACKPACKS FOR BIRDERS LOANER PROGRAM
Through the Friends' Backpacks for Birders program, backpacks outfitted with binoculars, bird field guide, and a notebook for recording observations, illustrating your Refuge experience, or just taking notes are available for checkout in the Nature Store.
We have two sizes of binoculars, one more suitable for adults and one for children, and two different field guides, a standard field guide and a youth field guide. You can check out a backpack or just a pair of binoculars. An adult must check out backpacks for children.
Directions to the Headquarters Unit & Visitor Center:
From the intersection of US 71 (Barksdale Boulevard) and Jimmie Davis Highway (LA 511) in Bossier City, go south about one-half mile on US 71 and turn right (west) on Sunflower Road. Proceed to the end of the road through the gate. Follow the main gravel road not quite one-half mile, bearing left at the fork in the road to the new Visitor Center.
The Refuge Headquarters has a new address: 150 Eagle Bend Point, Bossier City, LA 71112. Until the Teague Parkway extension is completed, access to the Refuge and the Visitor Center will continue to be from the Sunflower Road entrance. To find us using GPS or online maps, use the old address of 555 Sunflower Road. When the parkway is completed, the Refuge will have a dedicated exit from the parkway.
