Nolley Nature Trail

The Nolley Nature Trail is a site maintained in Lasalle Parish. It began as a collaboration with the Nolley Church and the NRCS and was later picked up as a project by the Grant/Lasalle Master Gardener Association. Various native plants are continuing to be identified on this site and the development of the walking trail is ongoing such as benches being added thanks to the help of the local Boy Scout group.
