The UL Lafayette Krewe de Coulee is an annual post-Mardi Gras clean-up event aimed at promoting community volunteerism by removing litter left behind along the Lafayette Parade Route. This clean up is critical to prevent debris from entering storm drains, coulees, and waterways, which flow directly into the Bayou Vermilion Watershed.
We are proud and excited to partner with UL Lafayette on this important initiative, which aligns closely with our mission. Mark your calendars and stay tuned for registration details—together, we can make a lasting impact!
Let us help you select a location!
Let’s discuss the date & time!
We are happy to drop off supplies for your litter clean-up events OR for a small fee, we can host a full event for you and your team for an even easier experience! All you have to do is bring the volunteers!
