RESTORATION WISH LIST
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING CRCL'S RESTORATION PROGRAMS
The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana was the first statewide nonprofit dedicated to coastal restoration, and we’ve accomplished a lot over the past 35 years. We couldn’t do it without our members, our volunteers, our partners and our funders. But we also couldn’t do it without a lot of equipment.
The physical work of plantings trees and grasses and recycling oyster shells takes a lot of different tools, as does processing volunteers and even delivering all the equipment to our work sites from one side of our coast to the other. We use clipboards, folding tables, charging stations, calipers, drones, tents and more to help restore our coast, and we use them hard. That’s a good thing, because it means we’re getting a lot of work done. But it also means we have to replace our equipment periodically. We’re asking for your help. We’ve created this handy wish list of what we need for upcoming volunteer events.

GARMIN GPSMAP
Handheld GPS units are used to geolocate project sites and monitoring. These are particularly useful for our tree growth tracking as they enable us to locate individual trees to check on their progress year to year. We are ramping up student involvement in our monitoring program and hope to equip each student with their own GPS in the field.
