Just in time for spring, the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL) is scheduling several days of tree planting in Westwego this March. CRCL will be working in partnership with the Barataria-Terrebonne National Estuary Program (BTNEP), Jefferson Parish, National Association of Countries Research Foundation, the National Fish and Wildlife Federation, and Restore America's Estuaries, with corporate support from Coca-Cola, Entergy Corporation, and Shaw Coastal.
Volunteers will be planting three thousand trees along the Bayou Segnette Waterway. Once restored, this cypress forest will provide important nesting and habitat space for area wildlife, in addition to natural storm protection for nearby campgrounds and wetlands.
