Tree planting event in Jean Lafitte - sign up today!

The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL) is looking for volunteers to participate in a two-day Cypress Forest Restoration project at Jean Lafitte National Park on January 29th and 30th.

These native trees will help combat the invasive Chinese tallow tree and over time, will produce new nesting habitat for Bald Eagles.
