THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI: ELECTRONIC FIELD TRIP is a collaboration between WYES-TV, New Orleans PBS member station, and the Center for Global Environmental Education at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota.

WYES is pleased to report that nearly 35,000 students from across the country joined us for the live event held at The Meraux Foundation’s Docville Farm in St. Bernard Parish which is located southeast of New Orleans in Louisiana. Viewers were taken on a 2,000-mile journey from the headwaters at Lake Itasca in Minnesota to the city of New Orleans and the swamps of south Louisiana as the river flows to the Gulf of Mexico.

Special thanks to host Tom Gregory and special guest Jonathan Foret, the director of the South Louisiana Wetlands Discover Center.
