The Grand Isle Garden Club, Restore Grand Isle, and Restore or Retreat are excited to announce that they have been awarded a grant from Keep Louisiana Beautiful to plant over 100 live oaks on the island!

 

“This project has identified four locations to plant trees lost to Hurricane Ida and help restore the live oak canopy and historic maritime forest on Grand Isle,” reads a post from Grand Isle’s Facebook page. “This is an essential part of Louisiana’s only inhabited barrier island.”


 

The three organizations are joining forces to plant their new live oaks on Grand Isle on January 20, 2024 beginning at 9:00 a.m. and are looking for volunteers to participate in the event. If you are interested in participating, please visit the official event page and send them a Facebook message.
