Cocktails, Conversation & Conservation

Last week we gathered at Jacmel’s Restaurant in Hammond to talk about how our work is making a difference in Louisiana. Land trusts aren’t just about preserving ecosystems and enhancing habitats… although that’s extremely important! We’re also focused on bringing together a community of people who care about our state’s natural legacy.

LTL’s staff, board members, and friends gathered for a beautiful night to discuss how land conservation tools can improve quality of life for our communities.

We’d love to make you a part of our community.
