Environment program's annual fall canoe paddle
The annual fall canoe paddle with Professor of Biological Sciences David White offers students an opportunity to wade through some of the most beautiful swamps and bayous just a short distance from New Orleans in southeastern Louisiana.
The trips start in the late afternoon and last into the evening and night offers a great twilight experience to see firsthand our cypress trees, swamp, marsh plants, and wildlife. Participants see see alligators, wading birds, ducks, and spectacular scenes of Spanish-moss covered trees. With lights after dark participants shine for night-stalking wildlife.
Dr. White studies plant community and population ecology in wetland ecosystems. Recent research has focused on study of the establishment and spread of the marsh reed, Phragmites australis, within the Mississippi River Delta and the community structure of tropical forests in the Yucatan Peninsula. Dr. White is also involved in a long term research project (going on 25 yrs) on marsh plant biomass within the Delta.
