🌿🛶 **Paddle, explore, and discover with us on Saturday, October 24!**

Start the morning with a **5.5-mile kayak trip** from the Columbia Boat Docks to the Charles Allen Ouachita River Nature Preserve. Kayakers launch at **7 a.m.**, and all kayakers are welcome!

At the preserve, join **ULM’s Annual 2026 BioBlitz**. ULM biology students and faculty will lead hikes as we look for birds, plants, insects, reptiles, amphibians, and more.

We’re excited to share that Caldwell Parish and the Town of Columbia were named in yesterday’s Keep Louisiana Beautiful grant announcement!

Columbia Main Street applied for and was awarded a Beautification Grant to help create a new gateway sign welcoming people to our community. We’re grateful to Keep Louisiana Beautiful for supporting this project and look forward to sharing its progress as we create an entrance that reflects our pride in Columbia and Caldwell Parish.
