Protecting Our Aquatic Ecosystem
The Bayou Vermilion District is charged with the
beautification, conservation and management of
sites along the bayou to ensure the preservation and
enhancement of our natural and cultural resources
in Lafayette Parish. The Lafayette Garden Club will
promote Bayou Vermilion awareness through
participation in Trash Bash, Earth Day, Bayou
Vermilion Day, and with school visits. During an
August Field Trip to the District Headquarters, club
members saw the Water Shed Exhibit, Bog
Garden with wetland plants, Rain Garden,
Bio-Retention Pond, and Pervious Paving Demonstration.
