Mission

Bayou Preservation Association will respond to threats to our bayous and streams by grass-roots organizing, education, and promotion of alternatives to destructive channelization.

Advocacy

Bayou Preservation Association believes that there are viable, economically responsible alternatives to channelization for our region's storm water management, such as flood plain management and buy-out, regional detention basins, and natural models for stream bed modification.

Collaboration

Bayou Preservation Association is coordinating the clean up of area bayous, as well as planting trees along the banks of area bayous.

Education

Bayou Preservation Association provides information on bayous at festivals, seminars, professional meetings and through this website.

Goals

"Protecting and restoring the richness and diversity of our waterways"
