“The Wetland Watchers program gives these middle school students an opportunity to develop skills they will use throughout high school and college. This program shows them the value of knowledge and the benefit of working together to solve problems. I personally am thrilled to have the opportunity to share the knowledge that I have amassed over the last forty years and to witness first-hand the reaction of these students. I feel that it will benefit the students immensely in the future, even if it is not directly related to their chosen career field.”
Milton Cambre, St. Charles Parish Coastal Planning and Zoning Committee

“The Wetland Watchers Program not only encourages the students to be involved with the community, it encourages the community to be involved with the students. The project takes full advantage of the available resources and channels that energy into the Hurst Middle School students. This program, through the involvement of dedicated educators and the community, ensures that our students receive the best possible value from their education.”
