Participants of the 2023 National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) conference in New Orleans take a boat ride on the Bayou Bienvenue and listen to information about multiple conservation programs and projects during an organized tour around the St. Bernard Central Wetlands area, New Orleans, La., Feb. 15, 2023. They could observe newly planted Cypress tree to help stabilized the soil. The dedicated partners of the Crescent SWCD offer a wetland conservation collage within the St. Bernard Central Wetlands area. The 40 Arpent Marsh Terracing Project (Meraux Foundation, Ducks Unlimited, NAWCA) restores avian, aquatic and community infrastructure protection functions in a Chalmette subdivision’s backyard. 1.5 miles NE are the Bayou Bienvenue bulrush plantings (Crescent SWCD, LA CPRA, LDAF, Common Ground, Meraux Foundation, NRCS) that successfully reestablished emergent wetland vegetation along the historic bayou shoreline. A short distance to the east begins the Central Wetlands Cypress-Tupelo Reforestation Sites (Crescent SWCD, St. Bernard Wetland Foundation, LDAF, NRCS, Common Ground) made possible by major hydrologic restoration of the area. Time, weather, and logistics permitting there are other restoration sites to visit here in the St Bernard Central Wetlands.
