Summary of the Filing
Where the work happens
Promoted the Culture and History of Bayou Teche
The teche project hosted the 13TH annual shake your trail feather paddle parade and festival with over 250 attendees enjoying the live music and paddle excursion. We also hosted our annual membership event "twilight on the teche" in arnaudville at maison stephanie with over 110 attendees.
Enhancing the Ecology of Bayou Teche
We took part in the spring Love the Boot campaign by cleaning trailhead parks at our dock sites. We also hosted a clean-up day in New Iberia in the spring and periodically pulled trash with boats to account for 61 tons of trash in the past 15 years. We provided guidance to interested parties regarding wood duck nest box management.
Encouraging Recreational Use on Bayou Teche
The Bayou Teche National Paddle Trail infrastructure was completed in 2023, however, we continue our work to add features to improve paddle trail usage into the future. With installation work completed, we have shifted our focus to paddle trail promotion and hosting events to get people on Bayou Teche.

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.
Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.
We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.
Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.
If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.
Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.
If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
