Occasionally, because Bedico Creek Preserve is such a popular neighborhood on the northshore of Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans, Louisiana, we will have newspaper, magazine, and online articles and blogs written about our master-planned community. We feature these articles in our Press Room area. Also, we sometimes create press releases for special news and events that are happening at Bedico Creek Preserve. You can find all of this information, plus make media inquiries all right here in our Press Room.
Come enjoy one of the largest arts and crafts expo on the Northshore in Covington.

Mile Branch is located in Covington and is one of the town’s major streams that go into the Tchefuncte River. The Healthy Communities Grant has been given to Keep Covington Beautiful to help control some of the litter that ends up in and around the stream.
Keep Covington Beautiful is part of the Keep America Beautiful campaign and is designed to keep Covington clean and beautiful. The organization focuses on four major aspects which are beautification, litter prevention, recycling and education. This non-profit 501 c 3 organization strives to enhance and preserve the city of Covington with the help of its citizens. Projects include biannual planting of downtown’s streetside planters, litter prevention, recycling activities and environmental education.
The $7,592 Healthy Communities Grant was provided to Keep Covington Beautiful by Keep Louisiana Beautiful. The goal of the Waterway Litter Abatement Project is to focus on litter clean-up and prevention by adding a litter boom.
The litter boom will be located in Mile Branch close to Pine View Middle School. It will catch floating debris while allowing wildlife, canoes and kayaks through by going over or under it. Once the litter is collected, the vegetative debris will be separated. Then the trash and recyclables will be separated and categorized by type, brand and age.
The Waterway Litter Abatement Project is not only funded by the Keep Covington Beautiful but is also partnered with Osprey Initiative. They want to stop the trash source before it enters in the larger local bodies of water.
