Peggy Reily & Barrett Kennedy, Baton Rouge, Louisiana State Advocates
We are native Louisianans who share a love for the bayous, marshes, swamps and lakes that constitute the southernmost reaches of the Mississippi River watershed. A forest ecologist (Peggy) and a historical architect (Barrett) by vocation, our research and professional experiences have taken us all over the state as teachers and consultants for both natural and cultural heritage.
We developed a fresh perspective on sustainable outdoor recreational practices in 2010, when we embarked on a 4-month tour of duty with the Center for Outdoor Ethics as the Leave No Trace “e-Tour” team. The 16,000 mile journey was a great collaborative experience that took us through the nation’s Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes Regions.
For us, the e-Tour was a first-hand encounter with the many challenges associated with raising awareness about the vulnerabilities of our public lands and the need to foster a deeper understanding of environmental stewardship. Perhaps even more so, the experience gave us a greater appreciation for the legions of folks throughout the United States who work diligently to promote outdoor ethics and the recreational practices that will conserve and sustain our rich, irreplaceable natural and cultural legacy. Check out our 2010 e-Tour Blog: http://lnt.org/programs/etour.php.
We look forward to engaging Louisiana compatriots in the advocacy, teaching, and networking that encourages responsible outdoor ethics and expands the Leave No Trace community in the Bayou State.
