Wetlands Education Featured at 4-H Training

By Johnny Morgan, LSU AgCenter

Tangipahoa Parish 4-H members were taught lessons in wetlands ecology recently at the Shell Training Center near Hammond. The goal of the pilot program is to teach the students more about wetlands and the importance of the marsh and coastal areas. The Shell Wetland Education Program develops and nurtures youth stewardship of natural Louisiana landscapes, said LSU AgCenter 4-H agent Joanna Pesson.
