Disaster Geographies Students Aid NOLA Wetlands Restoration

Ten SUNY Oneonta students flew to New Orleans for a hands-on learning experience in wetlands restoration, continuing a conservation service-learning tradition of the Geography and Environmental Sustainability (GES) department.

Volunteering with organizations Common Ground Relief, Glass Half Full, Glassroots and the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, Red Dragons donned boots and gloves as they collected trash and glass, weeded, and planted and potted trees in the wetlands. The trip is part of the Disaster Geographies course taught by Associate Professor Wendy Lascell, who accompanied the students and was joined by Sustainability Coordinator and GES adjunct instructor Rachel Kornhauser and GES Assistant Professor Bryan Collins.
