"I'm happy to be able to invite people back," Fortier said in spite of the stark surroundings. Few large trees remain to shade the trail, a 2/3-mile loop of raised, wooden boards just east of the Maxent Canal. But along the way strollers can catch glimpses of magnificent insects and flowers and cypress stumps poking from a pond that shimmers in the sun, catching the reflection of snowy egrets flying gracefully overhead.
It's a wonderful and informative post about the history of Bayou Sauvage, it's current state and the hope/plans for it's future.
Actually this is a unique opportunity for naturalists and ecologists to observe the wonder of nature as she renews herself after the devastation of the storm. If you're a nature lover like I am, you will rejoice for the progress and plans for restoring this wonderful wild place.
I think I see a field trip in my near future. Company is welcome. :)
