Four local 4-H high school members have been selected to take part in the annual Marsh Maneuvers this week. Representing Jackson Parish is Jake Potts and Eliza Guin from Quitman High School, Ethan Bradford from Jonesboro-Hodge High School and J.R. Wall of Weston High School. 

Marsh Maneuvers is an immersive education program focused on increasing the knowledge, skills, and motivations of grades 9-12 youth toward coastal ecology and biology. This program takes place over four weeks during the summer, with a new group of 4-H students participating in each four-day session. Since 1989, over 1700 students have participated in the program.

Marsh Maneuvers is an educational program of the LSU AgCenter in cooperation with the Louisiana Sea Grant College Program, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, and McIlhenny Co.
