CRCL's Wish List

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 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 from our storage facility to our work sites. We use clip boards, 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 accomplishing a lot. But it also means we have to replace our equipment periodically. Now you can help. We’ve created this handy wish list of what we need for upcoming volunteer events.
