Live Oaks Planted on Marsh Island

Marsh Island - Lafreniere Park

Four live oaks were planted on Marsh Island this day. Two were donated by Friends of Jefferson the Beautiful and two by Bayou Tree Company. Bayou Tree also furnished 7 hours of labor to plant, mulch, nutria guard and waterbag the trees. One tree and labor amounted to $1250.00 The trees will give shade and protection to the hundreds of waterfowl and herons who inhabit the park and one day, hopefully, will be part of a Rookery, if the nesting birds so choose. Coleen Landry is Bird Sanctuary Chairman since 1973 when she wrote the Parish Ordinance for the Sanctuary.
