Operation Southern Comfort

Since 2006, thousands of high school and college students and adult leaders have participated in Operation Southern Comfort (OSC) sojourns to Louisiana to help restore St. Bernard Parish and have also provided a greatly needed service to the local environment. Since 1994, the St. Bernard Wetlands Foundation (SBWF) has maintained a tree nursery to supply container-grown trees to restore wetlands damaged by coastal flooding and salt water intrusion. Thousands of acres of formerly forested wetlands were depleted of protective trees that slow storm surges and provide valuable habitat for wildlife and recreational activities.

9 days, so many miles, one team, one goal – HELP
When the car started, I wondered why.
Took a deep breath and let out a sigh.
Had no idea what was ahead of me,
No clue to what I would see.

We are just a bunch of teens
How could we help the thousands in New Orleans?
Such destruction beyond compare
Nearly hurt your eyes, but had to stare.
Yet, everyone who lived there was happy
When their situation was just downright crappy.

I was a volunteer
And to me it was clear
House number one two three three
You changed me.
The people living inside of you
