Gulf Area Schools See the Swamp, Marsh and Sea

On November 1st, students from Joseph Craig Elementary in New Orleans, LA visited the Barataria Preserve - part of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park - where they participated in a program highlighting food chains and ecosystem webs, learned to “dip-net” in the swamp water, and went on a senses walk where they were encouraged to use all five senses to take in the environment.
