Your tree, along with other dedicated trees, will be planted in the Central Wetlands near New Orleans, where it will one day become part of a forest, providing wildlife habitat and hurricane protection to communities.

The Central Wetlands Unit was heavily impacted by historic logging and the construction of the Mississippi Gulf Outlet (MRGO). What once was a thick and healthy swamp is now mostly marsh and open water. Restoring the swamp forest will result in higher-quality wildlife habitat, storm surge and wind protection, and healthier ecosystems.
