Welcome to the Center!

The South Louisiana Wetlands Discovery Center (SLWDC) offers educational opportunities about this region's very fragile unique wetland environment and offers ways locals and tourists can help to conserve and preserve the wetlands. The educational opportunities materialize in the unique pairing of two educational models, an interpretive program component for grades K-12 and a science-focused educational component or “research laboratory” for grades 4-16, each focusing on the South Louisiana coastal environment while serving different audiences. While each operates somewhat independently of the other, the pairing of the two entities under one roof contribute to a critical synergy that helps achieve the larger educational goals of the center. It is a family oriented facility offering something for everyone from children to adults.
