In loving memory of Charles Wyatt and Jan Wyatt
​
Founding members of BVPA

​Jan and Charlie Wyatt, with support of the Lafayette Garden Club and other community members, founded Bayou Vermilion Preservation Association as a 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2013.

As board members, we often reflect on the vision, passion, and drive that garnered the support of businesses, government leaders, non-profits, and citizens in this community. Thanks to the Wyatt's leadership, we have been fulfilling BVPA's mission for nearly a decade.

It is our intention to continue the legacy that the Wyatts set forth when they founded BVPA and championed water quality for the Teche-Vermilion Watershed.
​
Sincerely,
The BVPA Board
