LACASSINE, LA —
What began as a vacant six-acre plot at Lacassine National Wildlife Refuge has transformed into the heart of a promising restoration effort. Rybak Electrical Project proudly supported the remarkable hands-on initiative led by Rapides Parish 4-H students to restore Louisiana’s native Cajun prairie ecosystem—an often-overlooked but critical landscape that supports a wide range of wildlife.
Armed with seeds, shovels, and purpose, these students planted nearly 300 native species, contributing to the revival of a prairie habitat that had all but vanished. This project wasn’t just about environmental renewal—it was about cultivating a deep, lasting connection to nature and nurturing the next generation of environmental stewards.
Rybak Electrical Project contributed to the success of this initiative by donating to the seed program and supplying five Power Protector STEM Challenge Kits. These interactive kits provide students with hands-on opportunities to explore renewable energy and develop problem-solving skills that apply to real-world sustainability challenges.
Supporting STEM education and environmental responsibility is more than a gesture—it’s an investment in the future. At Rybak Electrical Project, we are committed to empowering youth, encouraging innovation, and building a stronger, more sustainable tomorrow. Together with passionate young leaders and community partners, we are proud to be part of a movement that restores not only land, but hope and opportunity for generations to come.
