Tree planting project near Braithwaite

The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL) and the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation (LPBF) invite you to register for our Coastal Forest restoration event on December 12th near St. Bernard.

Your efforts will help promote more land growth to create excellent future habitat for Bald Eagles.

  • Volunteers will be shuttled to the planting site via air boat.
  • Please note the minimum age for volunteers is 10 and minors must be accompanied by an adult.
  • Planting in the swamps is a muddy and strenuous activity, so physical fitness is necessary.

Planting in our swamps is wonderful way to spend a day and we would like to ensure that everyone gets a chance to have a great experience.
