"FIFTH WARD (Louisiana) -- To those involved in the project, there was no sweeter sight than a tractor plowing through muddy fields Thursday at the Grand Cote National Wildlife Refuge in Avoyelles Parish.
The machine was planting seedlings on the 238-acre plot, part of a large-scale planting effort that will bring nearly 250,000 new trees to Grand Cote and Lake Ophelia National Wildlife Refuges.
When mature, the hardwood forests will provide sustenance to a wide variety of bird and animal species, as well as remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere."
