WHAT TO EXPECT: Experts in different fields sharing their knowledge while hiking, wading in the river or stargazing at night. Lodging is in the group camp - bunk beds divided between 2 large rooms with separate bathrooms for each side.

We still have 30 open overnight spaces in the group camp, if you're hoping to grab a bunk bed for the weekend. Hope to see you all there!

The Environment Program is hosting an important public event (see below) that should be of interest to any and all students, faculty, staff, alumni with interests in the Environment.      http://cas.loyno.edu/environment/environmental-roundtable 

The "Saltwater Wedge" and its impacts to much of the River regions from Plaquemines to Jefferson Parish has been (and remains) a serious concern requiring regional coordination and hazard mitigation planning and actions.   In this Roundtable we host Austin Feldbaum (Director of Hazard Mitigation, City of New Orleans) and Ricky Boyett (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) to discuss not only the current saltwater wedge, but other concerns of the effects of saltwater intrusion and otherr serious community threats.
