Louisiana National Guardsmen from 1st Assault Helicopter Battalion, 244th Aviation Regiment drop bundles of recycled Christmas trees from a UH-60 Black Hawk into Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge in New Orleans East to help combat coastal erosion, March 14, 2018. The project has re-established hundreds of acres of marshland in the Bayou Sauvage NWR over the last 23 years. This year, the LANG and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service emplaced approximately 8,000 trees. (U.S. Army National Guard video by Spc. Duncan Foote)
