Port of South Louisiana donates to Nicholls to support coastal restoration
The Courier and Daily Comet
The Port of South Louisiana has donated $18,000 to the Nicholls Farm for the fifth year in a row to advance research in coastal restoration.
The money will be used to produce native coastal plant materials used for restoration projects, support student coastal research projects and help with the maintenance and upkeep of the farm.
Plants used for Nicholls restoration projects are grown at the 277-acre Nicholls Farm, which is located three miles south of the main campus. The property serves as an environmental research and education center for Nicholls, with labs, classrooms, greenhouses, shade houses, storage barns and a 7.5-acre pond for wetland plant production.
