Sam, Ben, Cody and Austin... Greetings from Bourbon Street!
During the second work day, while outside of New Orleans, we helped restore the native wetlands. We worked for several hours and planted on Fifi Island. The wetlands help to reduce hurricanes and storm surge heading toward cities. Sadly, the wetlands are getting lost and turning into open water. To help, people currently dredge up extra silt and sediment from the Mississippi River and dump them into mounds to make land on which the habitat can be restored.
