Wreaths to be Used to Help Restore Louisiana Coast in Plaquemines Parish

Christmas wreaths are being used in Louisiana to help resort the state’s coast in Plaquemines Parish.

The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana is collecting wreaths on January 13, after the decorations finish their display at the Chalmette National Cemetery.

The wreaths display went up at the cemetery on December 16 as part of the Wreaths Across America program. One the wreaths are picked up, they will be brough to the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL) headquarters for preparation to be placed in Quarantine Bay.
