Students from 4th grade through high school in south Louisiana are taking part in this project by establishing wetland plant nurseries at their schools. Students are growing native plant seedlings that they will plant in the fall in a coastal wetland restoration project in south Louisiana. The Coastal Roots Program began in 2001 as an education outreach project for the Louisiana Sea Grant College Program.

Today we put dirt in the cells with the seeds and covered the seeds with mud. After that we watered them, and that is a outline of what we did today.
Today in science class we planted two types of trees Cypress and Swamp Red Maples. First we took a cone filled it with dirt then added three seeds. I had a lot of fun in science class today.
Today we planted bald cyprus seeds and maple tee seeds. First we filled the containers almost to the top. Then we droped three seeds into the container. Lastly we covered the seeds with a final layer of soli. It was so much fun and i look forward to seeing them continue to grow.
We used two different seeds that were used to plant the trees. First we took the cone and filled it up 3/4 of the way then we added the 3 seeds. Then we filled it up the rest of the cone. Even though we put 3 seeds in each cone only one of them will be used if they grow. We had a lot of fun plating the seeds today in Science class
Today, our science class planted Cyprus and Swamp red maple Trees. It was really fun. First we took a yellow cell and put soil in it. Then we put three seeds in it. Next we put soil over it. Then we put them in a fenced area to get watered.
Yesterday we planted over a hundred seeds that will hopefully grow into cypress and maple trees. During the seed planting I was in charge of putting dirt into the cells. I hope the seeds wil grow and they will help the Earth get more oxygen.
Today we planted seeds to grow maple and cyprus trees we got to fill the cup things with soil and then put the seed inside of them and then put more soil on top to cover up the seeds. It was really fun
