About

Why Your Support Matters

LSU Coastal Roots educates students from 2nd grade through high school on environmental stewardship through growing native plant seedlings and grass plugs and planting them in a coastal habitat restoration project in south Louisiana.

Every day, we’re driven by our commitment to fostering the next generation of environmental stewards and rebuilding the coastal habitats of Louisiana. Together, these efforts build stronger teams across our campus and beyond.

This LSU Giving Day, your gift will strengthen the winning teams that drive LSU Coastal Roots to do what it does best: empower Tigers to lead, learn, and make a difference. Thank you for your support!
