Restore or Retreat, Ducks Unlimited/ConocoPhillips, and Woodside Energy are calling for volunteers to help with the vital planting of the Fourchon Terraces from December 5–7, 2024. This multi-day effort focuses on planting approximately 12,000 locally grown Black Mangroves, which play a crucial role in coastal protection and habitat restoration.
What to Expect
Volunteers will travel by boat to planting sites and work in teams to plant mangroves using jet sleds and dibbles. This muddy but rewarding work is critical for building storm surge barriers, retaining sediment, controlling erosion, and restoring habitat for migratory birds and fisheries in the region.

- Location: Fourchon, Louisiana
- Dates: December 5–7, 2024
- Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily

Important Notes
