We’ll be guided by expert birders and naturalists:
- Byron Almquist, Louisiana Master Naturalist, Canoe & Trail Adventures
- Melanie Driscoll, Conservation Biologist and Ornithologist, Strategic Conservation Consultant
- Jane Patterson, President, Baton Rouge Audubon Society
Date: Sunday, June 5
Time: 10 am – 3 pm
Location: Chinquapin Launch, 13400 Boat Landing Rd, Maurepas, LA
Canoe, lunch & drinks provided.
This leisurely paddle will follow the bayou through a scenic cypress forest. We’ll wrap up with a delicious shared meal prepared by the local hunting club!
Bring your camera, your curiosity, and your bug spray! We’ll provide the views, food and drink, and information about how land conservation is a vital tool for protecting Louisiana’s natural treasures. The $40 registration fee will go towards funding our conservation work across the state – including restoring the ridge at Maurepas Swamp Preserve, which was heavily damaged by Hurricane Ida.
