Teachers in Livingston, St. John the Baptist, and Tangipahoa parishes can take their classes on field trips to the Turtle Cove Environmental Research Station through grants funded by the Air Products Lake Maurepas Community Fund. Administered by the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Foundation, these grants cover field trip costs, enabling students to visit the wetlands of Pass Manchac. This program connects students with researchers from Southeastern Louisiana University who study the lake’s ecology, providing hands-on environmental education.
