Partners in the Parks Barataria Preserve

Partners in the Parks will be hosting a national park excursion to Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve. The park consists of six separate units and we will be visiting the unique and wild wetlands of the Barataria Preserve southwest of New Orleans. The preserve's 23,000 acres include bayous, swamps, marshes, forests, alligators, nutrias, and over 200 species of birds. This academic adventure will include a hike, educational seminars hosted by park rangers and the opportunity to participate in a service project. ATTENTION: Due to limited capacity, a maximum of two people per institution allowed.
