• The forest was heavily damaged by Hurricane
  Katrina. It destroyed most of the forests large
  trees and shade canopy.
• The Master Plan will nearly double the size of
  the forest from 33 to 60 acres. The expanded
  footprint will incorporate Scout Island.
• In the fall of 20090, hundreds of trees will be
  planted. As the trees grow they will help knock
  down the invasive species that have resulted
  following the Hurricane.
• The forest will highlight eight different
  ecosystems
• Coastal Prairie
• Coastal Marsh
• Eastern Pine Savannah
• Bottomland Hardwood
• Upland Hardwood
• Live Oak Tupelo Swamp
• Riparian Edge
