LaBranche Wetland Watchers
Parishes Served: St. CharlesThe LaBranche Wetland Watchers is project that involves a core group of 185 eighth-grade students in a variety of service activities to improve their local habitat and community. Students use the knowledge they gain from this hands-on experience to host service trips for nearly 850 fifth and sixth graders. Students also coordinate three weekend conservation events that involve community volunteers. Anticipated outcomes of the project are increased participation of students in environmental projects, increased awareness of wetland values and challenges locally and globally, and a greater emphasis on the classroom study of environmental issues.
