Welcome to the Pelican Nature Club!
Our mission is to foster a community of like-minded, nature-minded folks through outdoor hikes, educational programs, and social events in Recreation District #1 and throughout Southeast Louisiana. The only requirement for membership is respect for the natural world and a love for nature observation! We hold adults-only programs as well as family-friendly and kid-focused programs.
Do you want to get involved? Feel free to email Alex Landry, our Naturalist and Environmental Education Programs Coordinator, with program ideas, suggestions, or just to chat! alexlandry@pelicanpark.com
