Citizen Science at Jean Lafitte

What's blooming when? Have birds starting migrating yet? Citizen scientists are crucial to answering questions like these and tracking changes from year to year.

If you notice moments in nature like birds nesting, flowers blooming, and frogs calling, you've got the makings of a citizen scientist! You can put your observations to work.

The Wetlands Acadian Cultural Center in Thibodaux and the Barataria Preserve in Marrero offer programs, workshops, and trainings. Learn to record what you see and hear and to share your observations in databases. Your findings can be used for scientific research.
