A CONCURRENT RESOLUTI ON
To commend Resource Environmental Solutions for its generous contribution of native
Louisiana live oak and cypress trees to the parishes of the state of Louisiana.
WHEREAS, April 22, 2013, was known worldwide as Earth Day, and there is no
better time to recognize a generous donation made to the state of Louisiana; and
WHEREAS, Resource Environmental Solutions, Louisiana's leading developer and
supplier of wetland ecosystem restoration, has restored over twenty-six thousand acres of
wetlands in Louisiana and has donated native Louisiana live oak and cypress trees to
parishes across the state; and
WHEREAS, this donation, made with the assistance of members of the Louisiana
Legislature, is a gift that rehabilitates, restores, beautifies, and enhances the quality of life
for all citizens of Louisiana; and
WHEREAS, Resource Environmental Solutions grew and potted native live oak and
cypress trees at its nursery in Pointe Aux Chenes and thereby developed a powerful,
environmental initiative that helps Louisiana restore the many trees lost as a result of
Hurricane Katrina and that revitalizes Louisiana's natural ecosystems.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of Louisiana does hereby
recognize and express appreciation to Resource Environmental Solutions for its generous
donation of native-grown live oak and cypress trees to the parishes of Louisiana, which
donation restores refuges and habitats for wildlife and helps to maintain balance in natural
ecosystems and enable self-sustaining environments.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a suitable copy of this Resolution be transmitted
to Peter Couhig, President of Resource Environmental Solutions.
