Avery Island Restoration Planting
Volunteers Give Back
to Help Restore Marshes on
Avery Island
On July 31, more than 20 volunteers came out to help support the AWCC and plant marsh grass along an eroding area of Avery Island. Volunteers pulled over 4,000 plugs of the marsh grass California bullwhip from a healthy area of the marsh and then transplanted these plugs to a degraded area.
We can't thank the volunteers enough who came out to give back to Louisiana's coast!
More big thanks to the McIlhenny family for letting us come onto their property, to Heath Romero for organizing boat transportation and driving us out to the sites, and to the America's WETLAND Foundation for helping us advertise the event.
Finally, great job to the AWCC members Lindsay Bordelon and Ashlee Marceaux, who helped lead the event.[Image: 1]
