Liz Regard - Gold Level Louisiana Certified Habitat- Lebeau

ANPP congratulates Liz Regard for her gold certified habitat in LeBeau

in St. Landry Parish!

Liz first learned about the importance of native habitats through her

involvement with ANPP and her local garden club in Washington LA.

She inherited this multi-acre property and moved back to her roots in

2012 after living and working in North Louisiana for 25 years.

The land was originally a cattle grazing location that turned to

soybean/corn agriculture. She carved out several acres for her

homeplace and was fortunate to connect with a passionate native

landscaper who landscape near her home. She had a large Cypress

area pond redug which supports a wonderful bird population. That got

her involved in the Audubon Society's prothonotary warbler program.

She had 3 low acres put into an NRCS Conservation Reserve Program

(CRP) for trees and another 1/2 acre enrolled in the EQIP pollinator

program that she is currently extending.

Thanks for greauxing native, Liz!
