Here's looking Atchafalaya

Encompassing 14 Louisiana parishes and over 1.4 million acres, the Atchafalaya Basin is one of the United States' 55 National Heritage Areas, the one they call America's Foreign Country. Bayous, marshes, backwater lakes, and the nation's largest river swamp make up one of the most diverse ecological and cultural landscapes in North America.

The Choctaw people named the area 'long river' or 'hacha falaia.' Over the past four centuries, waves of French, Spanish, African, Acadian, and Caribbean settlers have contributed to the unique Cajun language, cuisine, music, architecture, and storytelling traditions that set this region apart.

The bald cypress trees—seen here draped in Spanish moss—are an iconic part of this incredibly rich ecosystem. Wildlife here includes crawfish, catfish, shrimp, bears, alligators, and over 270 species of birds. The Atchafalaya Basin was recognized as a National Heritage Area (NHA) in 2006. Unlike National Parks, NHAs function as a partnership between residents, local, and federal agencies, that combine private and public lands into more livable and sustainable regions.

这是阿查法拉亚

阿查法拉亚盆地包括路易斯安那州14个教区和140多万英亩土地,是美国55个国家遗产区之一,他们称之为美国的外国。贝尤斯、沼泽、回水和美国最大的河流沼泽构成了北美最多样化的生态和文化景观之一。

乔克托人将该地区命名为“长”或“hacha falaia”。在过去的四个世纪里,法国、西班牙、非洲、阿卡迪亚和加勒比海的移民潮为该地区独特的卡琼语、烹饪、音乐、建筑和讲故事传统做出了贡献,使该地区与众不同。

这里的秃顶柏覆盖着西班牙苔藓,是这个极其丰富的生态系统的标志性部分。这里的野生动物包括小龙虾、鲶鱼、虾、熊、短吻鳄和270多种鸟类。阿查法拉亚盆地于2006年被确认为国家遗产区(NHA)。与国家公园不同,国家公路局是居民、地方和联邦机构之间的伙伴关系,将私人和公共土地结合成更宜居和可持续的区域。
