LSU AgCenter SNAP-Ed

LSU AgCenter SNAP-Ed agent Quincy Vidrine recently organized a walk audit in Columbia, LA, bringing together the mayor, local families, the police chief, the Main Street Columbia director, and AgCenter staff including SNAP-Ed nutrition educator Sara Goddard, Built Environment Specialist Ana Gouge, and Physical Activity Specialist Leah Carter. Together, they explored ways to make the town safer for walking, biking, and strolling.

After the walk audit, volunteers of all ages rolled up their sleeves to paint a vibrant new crosswalk in front of Columbia Elementary complete with classic stripes, wildcats, and paw prints in honor of the school mascot!
