ATCHAFALAYA RIVER BASIN

FEBRUARY 3 AND 4, 2023

We partnered with the Avery Island Company to plant 500 bald cypress trees over two days The planting site was the location of an oil spill that killed acres of forested wetlands years ago. After a multi-year cleanup process, the area was suitable for reforestation. Avery Island is a unique ecological site unlike anywhere else in Louisiana, and we are so glad we got to help restore it

This planting was the final one in our CRUSH series, a five-year EPA-funded tree planting grant! A group of amazing volunteers spent the day planting 500 bald cypress trees in the Atchafalaya River Basin, one of the only places in Louisiana where land is currently being built We broke our record for trees planted in one day!
