Natural Resource Area • The forest was heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina. It destroyed most of the forest’s large trees and shade canopy. • The Master Plan will nearly double the size of the forest; from 33 to 60 acres. The expanded footprint will incorporate Scout Island. • In the fall of 20090, hundreds of trees will be planted. As the trees grow they will help “knock down” the invasive species that have resulted following the Hurricane. • The forest will highlight eight different ecosystems: • Coastal Prairie • Coastal Marsh • Eastern Pine Savannah • Bottomland Hardwood • Upland Hardwood • Live Oak + Tupelo Swamp • Riparian Edge Couturie Forest + Scout Island
