Through a generous donation from the Fischer family, Orleans Audubon Society (OAS) is now a landowner and manager of a sanctuary, for the first time in its 50-year history. The new, 86.5-acre, OAS-Fischer Sanctuary, is a bald cypress and water tupelo-swamp forest along the Morgan River, near Slidell, about 35 miles northeast of downtown New Orleans. On April 30,1999, The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana awarded the Orleans Audubon Society its 1999 Coastal Stewardship Award for the creation of this sanctuary, which protects valuable wetland systems.
