Louisiana Iris Conservation Initiative volunteer events : 2. Louisiana iris rescue, Barataria, La

Wednesday, July 14 2021

Cindy Baucum of Barataria, La. has offered us a donation of the I. giganticaerulea species of Louisiana irises growing on property she owns. Over the years her husband, Joe Baucum, now deceased, watched over and protected the irises in a ditch along the parish road that runs through their property. He diligently put out a sign every year asking the parish road crews to not spray the ditch with a herbicide. The purpose of this volunteer event is to dig up all of the irises in the ditch on Cindy's property to use in our iris restoration projects.
