Leah Dale - Silver Level Louisiana Certified Habitat - Lafayette

ANPP congratulates Leah Dale for a certified silver habitat in Lafayette!

Her property is 1.5 acres just outside of city limits in a semi-residential

area. It may have been a prairie in the past, Leah says. She didn't see

the value in having an acre and a half of lawn, and appreciates the food

and habitat that native plants provide. Leah purchased the property in

2016 and has been seeding patches and planting plugs with limited

success. She also planted a few pocket prairies with plugs. Leah assists

with restoration of coastal prairies at the USGS Wetland and Aquatic

Resource Center, and this work has inspired her to continue restoring

her own property.

Thanks for greauxing native, Leah!
