CRCL: Volunteer to help restore our coastal forest!

Many planting opportunities available - sign up today!

Have you made a resolution to get involved in restoring our wetlands? Well you're in luck! The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL) has plenty of opportunities for you to join us out along the coast this month! CRCL and the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation (LPBF) invite you to register for our Coastal Forest restoration events this January near St. Bernard. We are looking for 150 enthusiastic volunteers to plant 1,500 native trees over the span of four days. Your efforts will help increase storm surge retention and increase forest resiliency for future storm events.

When: Friday, January 9, 2015

Project Details:
  • Directions and details will be provided to registered volunteers via e-mail a few days prior to the event.
  • Registration is open from 9:00 to 9:30 am.
  • 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.
  • All equipment (shovels, gloves, etc) and lunch and drinks (with vegetarian options) will be provided to all volunteers.
Important Information:

We require that all volunteers please register to let us know if you plan to attend. If any additional members of your family/friends are attending the event with you, then they must also register. They can complete an online registration form by clicking here for the tree planting project.

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.
  • If, after registering, you find you are unable to attend, please notify us of your cancellation.
  • If the event registration is full, you can be added to a waiting list.
  • If you'd like to bring out a group, please let us know and we'll try our best to accomodate you.
For any of the above inquiries, you can contact CRCL's Volunteer Coordinator, Jenny Byrd at Jennyb@crcl.org.
