The land beneath our feet is disappearing.
Root4LA is a mission to save Louisiana, its coasts, and its cultures. Join the fight to keep them alive.
Louisiana is losing land faster than almost anywhere else on Earth. Every 100 minutes, a football field of coast disappears into the Gulf. The bayous, barrier islands, and marshes that have sheltered New Orleans and coastal communities for centuries are shrinking. And with them go the food, traditions, languages, music, and ways of life that make this place unlike anywhere else on Earth.
This site is for people who love Louisiana enough to fight for it. Whether you live in the Tremé or in Terrebonne Parish, whether your family has been here for generations or you just got here last year, this land is yours and its future depends on all of us.
