Bringing Nature Back II-A
|
The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana and Entergy Corporation invite you to participate in a forested wetland restoration maintenance project at Audubon Louisiana Nature Center. Prior to Hurricane Katrina, Audubon Louisiana Nature Center was named one of the top five urban nature centers in the United States. The Nature Center suffered considerable damage from Hurricane Katrina which devastated its interpretive center, exhibits and an estimated 75 percent of the forest was destroyed.
