Green Monkeys of Louisiana take Abita Environmental Tour
The green monkeys of louisiana took their august service trip to an amazing place. Attending were, Johnny Miller of New Iberia, John Pastor of Lafayette, Kent Labrey of Abbeyville, Leah Abshire of Lafayette, Philippe Treguier of Normandy France, Tony Smith of Lafayette. The trip was schedueled as a combination event as with and educational and exploratory stay at tickfaw state park.
Tickfaw is an amazing green and lush getaway for anyone who likes nature and water. Cabins at tickfaw are extreemly comfortable and inexpensive. Kitchens come stocked with pots and utinsils and towels in the bathrooms as well as sheets for the beds. Cable television and even a working fireplace. There are two rooms, one is a master suite which is perfect for "mom and dad" while the other is a perfect "kids"room with two sets of bunk beds. There is also a pull out couch. The cabins can comfortably sleep 8. What suprised me was how clean and well kept they were. Fire pits outside and the guy that lives right outside the entrance to the park that sells 26 pieces of wood for 10 dollars. (good luck understanding him though). Cabins rent for 90 a night.
The first trip was an amazing success. We had called a month in advance to advise that we were going to be taking the tour and writing an article in hopes that we might be able to educate the public about the truth of abita brewing and their striving for green friendliness. When we arrived august 28th at 10am we ran in with an awesome group of other environmentalists and of coarse made a new group of friends! Based out of Baton Rouge, Jason E. Jones was a extreemly friendly and welcoming person. He and his group represent the U.S. Green Buliding Council Chapter. Emerging Green Builders-Br (USGBC - Louisiana Chapter). Thier group represents a baton rouge group of young professionals that are interested in preserving nature through better building and architecture. Another interesting fellow we met was Chris Schlechte. He works with fusion architecture out of baton rouge. We discussed all the possibilites of joint trips and further colaboration opportunities.

The beginning of the tour started with an educational video which was interesting and extreemly informative. Abita is a Green Brewing Plant, and thats why we came. Green brewing means that Abita is committed to preserving the environment through conservation of resources, energy efficiency and corporate social responsibility. The brewery is located in the beautiful piney woods north of New Orleans. They draw the clean, pure water from the natural artesian well to make our great tasting beer. Protecting and improving the environment is a responsibility to take very seriously. Conserving energy and water, reusing by-products and waste, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, driving greener vehicles and using recycled materials are some of the ways the Abita Brewing Company is working to keep our part of the world green and clean.
The abita brewing company also makes great strides to help the community around them by donating to community service projects and charitable organizations. They are pleased to donate products and merchandise to non-profit groups to aid in their fundraising efforts whenever possible. They have a very easy form to fill out online that they would be happy for you to know about (http://abita.com/donate/donation_requestform.php) Due to the heavy volume of inquiries, please allow up to 4 weeks for a response to your request.
We learned much about the difference between brewing and "green brewing."
1. Abita was the first brewery in North America to install the energy efficient Merlin Brewhouse. The Merlin system reduces boiling time and carbon dioxide emissions and actually improves the brewing process. This new technology uses 70% less energy than traditional brewing methods. A vapor condenser also captures and reuses steam from the process. Its a really cool cone looking heating device that is applied directly to the bottom instead of just boiling a pot.
2. The Abita Brewing Company also operates its own industrial wastewater treatment plant. They use wastewater to generate its own energy. A Bio-Energy Recovery System (BERS) anerobically, (meaning treated in the absence of air), treats the wastewater reducing its strength and volume, while creating a renewable "bio-gas" that we use to fuel the boilers.
3.The glass bottles used by Abita Beer are endlessly recyclable and use less glass than traditional long-neck beer bottles. The Abita Brewing sales force drives gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles. Every 18-wheeler in the Abita delivery fleet is equipped with an energy saving Auxillary Power Unit (APU) that takes over engine operation when a truck is parked. The APUs decrease engine emissions and time spent idling.
4.Even the spent grain and hops from the brewing process don’t go to waste. Local farmers use the end products of the brewing process as feed for their cattle.
Everyone at the Abita Brewing Company is committed to preserving the environment. In fact, our most recent television commercial, "Recycle & Renew", features only brewery employees, the real people who work hard to make Abita Beer. We think beer tastes better when the world is clean. We’re proud to be a good neighbor…a good neighbor who makes great Abita Beer.

July Events
1) Fun Event: Seafood Boil - Sunday July 12 (3pm-8pm)
It was fun! Everyone had a good time slipping and sliding in the water while the music was rocking thanks to john and his misfit musical team. John and Johnny successfully produced enough food to feed an army. The night was finished off with everyone swimming at PepperTree Apartments. Those who attended are: Phillipe T., John Pastor, Johnny Miller, Kent Labry, Jerry Cotrell, Pat Lablanc, Leah Abshire, Anne Morello, Leah Pastor, Richie, Tressie Barret, Ally Barret, Skyler Barret, Maria ?,
2) Service Trip: Rutherford Beach Tree Planting - July 25th -26th 2009
Who: green monkeys
What: travel and excavate an illusive Louisiana beach to plant trees in an effort to preserve the wetlands and save the world!!
When: July 26th Sunday. We rendezvous at the intersection of hwy LA27 & LA 82… map included…
Where: South Cameron parish in the Mermentaw watershed.
Why?: To save the world, of coarse?
Johnny and an elite crew will be heading to Lake Charles a day early on the 25th. They will be renting a hotel room and having an evening of good green monkey fun. The crew will also be taking a detour to the Creole Nature Trail Museum. They will be departing and meeting up with the rest of our crew at 2:30pm to progress into the Rutherford Beach wonderland.
Why is our coast line important to us? Why should we bother to do anything about it? There is so much more to the regions south of Abbeville than the fact that flooding may be an issue. The face of our culture and local families will change forever. The average price of everything you touch involving meat will change forever.
Salt water intrusion will in fact be a part of our lives sooner than we think. Everything in vermillion parish is cattle, or rice and crawfish due to the heavy amounts of flooding. Now what happens when the salt water ravages all those areas? No GRASS. No grass means no cattle. No cattle means a severe raise in the price of meat. The crippling of any civilization which is indigenous is the cut off of resources which make them self sufficient. You can expect in a short time to pay twice the price for those steaks you love.
You have the choice… support the coastline or give up steak (an exaggeration, of coarse)

Down town alive was a smash hit. We had a great location. everyone pitched in to help and we demonstrated the variety of trees available. We Danced, had fun and represented our group with a style that leaves a memory in the minds of the public.
The childrens museum was Amazing! We arrived at 9am and Setup. By 10 oclock we had over 200 people rush our little operation and leave with happy saplings and happier children. They were literally pushing eachother (kinduf funny) for the trees that we were running out of (fruit trees and river birtch). We took the fraternity guys out and made another run to the BVD to reload and ran out again by 12 oclock noon.
Artwalk was HUGE!. Thousands of people walking up and down the downtown area and everyone saw our amazing display for free trees. The Schuffelers showed up as well as many of lafayette "whos who" came to ask questions, visit and of coarse plant a tree for a great cause..... Save Louisiana.We fully plan on making this event a yearly on our to do calendar and our only hope is that next year we can make it even bigger that this year!!!

Alexander State Forest
..
..
..
Alexander State Forest, located in central Louisiana, was established in 1923 when the state purchased 2,068 acres from Mrs. Eloise Polk Burrows. Though originally intended to be the first of several state owned demonstration forests, today it is the only one. The forest was named in honor of M. L. Alexander, Louisiana's first commissioner of conservation.
Nine additional purchases of adjacent properties over the next 15 years expanded Alexander State Forest to its present size of approximately 8,000 acres. The multiple-use forest contains 700 acres of bottomland hardwood, 5,000 acres of southern yellow pine and the 2,250 acre Indian Creek Lake and Recreation Area.
The land was mostly barren when purchased. However, today it is an excellent example of reforestation and forest management containing about 35 million board feet of timber. Extensive tree planting was undertaken when a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp was located on the forest during 1933 - 1940. During CCC days, the enrollees, mostly World War I veterans, built the log administrative building, which is now listed on the Louisiana -National Register of Historic Places. The 175-foot Woodworth Fire Tower at the headquarters compound is believed to be the tallest fire tower in the world.
Alexander State Forest is managed under the multiple-use concept, providing a variety of benefits, including timber production, improved wildlife habitat, hunting, recreational opportunity, water and soil conservation, forest management research, and habitat for several endangered species such as the red-cockaded woodpecker. Approximately 75 percent of the state forest acreage is managed for hunting and other recreational activities.

Indian Creek Lake & Recreation Area
..
..
..
The Indian Creek Lake and Recreation Area encompasses a 2,250 acre lake, 100 acres of developed recreation facilities and a 250 acre primitive camping area all within the Alexander State Forest. The lake, located in central Louisiana, was constructed as a joint venture of the Louisiana Forestry Commission, the Rapides Parish Police Jury, and the Lower West Red River Soil and Water Conservation District as a reservoir for agricultural irrigation in times of need and for recreation purposes.
The recreation area camping area contains 109 campsites with conventional full utility hookups, 3 beaches for swimming, bath houses, a boat launch, and 75 picnic sites. A covered pavilion within the developed area provides for groups up to 100 people. The recreation area is open year round and operates on user fees.
The primitive camping area is designated primarily for tent camping. Only parking and camping spaces are provided; there are no other facilities.
Facilities are available on a first-come basis only, except for the pavilion. It is recommended that pavilion reservations be made well in advance of intended use.
The Indian Creek Hiking Trail is a two-and-a-half mile long path through a mixed pine-hardwood forest. The trail traverses uplands and minor stream bottoms, providing access to a variety of habitats supporting numerous plant and animal species.
Indian Creek Lake offers excellent fishing for freshwater species over flooded timberland. Fishing is permitted year round and in accordance with state fishing regulations.
