2008 Planting at Bayou Segnette

On Monday, November 10, the 7th grade planted over 200 Bald Cypress seedlings and 58 Swamp Red Maple at Bayou Segnette. The groud was hard, but the students did a great job!

Fall 2008 Update!

Our seedlings have survived the hot summer months of June, July and August. We had a minor mishap with our timer and had to reseed many of our yellow cells. Many thanks to Pam Brierre (our lower school science teacher) and her daughter Clare who helped us this summer! We have since replaced our timer and have weeded and sorted our seedlings. They are looking great! We'll be keeping an eye on them until our planting date on November 10.

Last year's seedligs are looking great!

Mrs. Brierre and I were at a planting this summer at Bayou Segnette with Coastal Roots. We saw our that Cypress trees that we planted last fall and they are looking great! Check them out!


Also - Some STM students are featured on the new Coastal Roots poster! Looking good girls!

Planting at Bayou Segnette

On November 15, the 7th grade planted 200+ of their Bald Cypress trees. The remaining plants will be 'bumped up' for next year and planted when they are even bigger!

Getting ready to plant our seedlings!

Our Cypress seedlings have been growing all summer and are now about 3 feet tall and ready to be planted. We'll be planting about 200 trees at Bayou Segnette on Thursday, November 15!
