We’ll keep with the pace of the city—nice and easy, taking in the southern scenery, hospitality and weather. The bayou itself was a key component in establishing our city. The Native Americans showed early explorers (uh uh hem, Iberville and his brother, Bienville) the bayou as a way to access, at the time, a potential future city from the Gulf of Mexico without having to fight the Mississippi Riv

You will be paddling along side beautiful City Park, which houses centuries-old live oak trees. You’ll see New Orleans Museum of Art as you pass the grand entrance of the park.

The Music Tree is a beautiful piece of outdoor artwork. It was created by artist Marlin Miller, whose beautiful designs are symbolic of the area’s history and culture. The tree is located on the Jefferson Davis Trail, on the intersection of Orleans Avenue and Bayou St. John.
While this tree survived Hurricane Katrina, it was actually killed by lightning seven years later by Hurricane Isaac.

Another group of students from the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) Multicultural Program on Bayou St John. ASLO is committed to promoting diversity across discipline, country, socioeconomic status, gender and ethnicity. Science fundamentally benefits from having scientists with diverse beliefs, backgrounds, and values to provide broad perspectives on community needs and balance potential biases associated with narrower viewpoints.

5th Oldest Tree In The World In NC 🌳

A 2,624+ Year Old Bald Cypress

The oldest known Black River bald cypress (BLK227) has an inner ring date of 605 BCE, based on crossdating with other trees at Black River back to as early as 70 BCE, but with four radii from just this one old tree from 70 to 605 BCE. This means that BLK227 is at least 2,624-years old in 2018, moving bald cypress to number five on the worldwide list of the oldest-known continuously living, sexually reproducing, non-clonal tree species based on dendrochronology. Bald cypress is the oldest-known wetland tree species on earth.
