JOIN US FOR UPCOMING EVENTS IN NEW IBERIA & BREAUX BRIDGE
Come on out to New Iberia City Park on Saturday, Oct. 1, for iris planting and bayou cleanup in partnership with the Louisiana Iris Conservation Initiative (LICI). For the second year in a row, LICI and The TECHE Project are partnering to plant native wetlands plants along a stretch of Bayou Teche shoreline.
I. giganticaerulea irises, a native species of Louisiana iris that grows in the swamps and marshes south of New Iberia, will be used in the project. This will help achieve our goal of introducing to the public this wonderful native plant, which is the state wildflower of Louisiana.
Rubber rain boots are recommended for volunteers, along with a long-handled shovel if you have one. Bottled water will be supplied, and there are nearby bathrooms in the park. The address is 300 Parkview Dr.
A celebration of the Bayou Teche Paddle Trail, Shake Your Trail Feather will take place on Saturday, October 22, at Parc des Ponts in Breaux Bridge. Events include a morning Paddle Parade, kayak raffle, kids’ activities, lunch, libations and live music by Horace Trahan and the Ossun Express from noon-2 p.m.
Registration and a $15 fee is required for the Paddle Parade via Eventbrite.
