I
met with "Riding the Rim's" Terry Forrette after a press conference for
improved access and recreational use of the Codorus Creek in York,
PA. Terry is riding his Harley on a 12,000 mile educational tour
for the group "America's Wetlands" from New Orleans around the
perimeter of the continental United States. They hope to shed
light on the loss of the Coastal Wetlands in Louisiana, the Gulf Coast,
and around the country, as well as the cost that we pay for developing
or removing these wetlands.
After meeting with Terry and hearing of his work, and sharing the work
of the Waterkeeper Alliance to preserve the Louisiana Cypress, I knew
we found another comrade in our efforts to protect one of my favorite
cities, New Orleans, as well as protecting the Cypress of the Gulf
Coast and wetlands throughout the nation. Please check out
