  • the photography will take place at a location or locations where members of the public are not generally allowed.
  • the photography will take place at a time or times when members of the public do not generally have access.
  • the photography will use model(s), set(s), or prop(s) that are not part of the location's natural or cultural resources or administrative facilities.
  • the park will incur costs to monitor the photography.

To request an application or if you have questions, contact the park at 504-589-3882 ext. 108 or email the park.

 

 

Vultures arrive on land.  

Did You Know?
Vultures do not have many predators. If an enemy does approach, the vulture will face its enemy and projectile vomit. This inventive bird also has a unique way to stay cool: it urinates on its legs. The urine also helps kill any germs picked up while treading through a carcass.
