Prior to 2005 Audubon Louisiana Nature Center was named one of the top five urban nature centers in the United States. The Nature Center suffered considerable damage from Hurricane Katrina which devastated its interpretive center, exhibits and an approximately 75 percent of the forest. This work was a very important step toward restoring the wetland forest to its former state.
