Join the adventure on WYES-TV!
🌱 Premieres Monday, August 24 at 9pm
The new 13-part series takes viewers on unforgettable journeys where adventure, culture and coastal conservation come together.
Hosted by 11-time Emmy® Award-winning television personality Tom Gregory, ECO TRIP takes a refreshingly different approach to adventure storytelling. Gregory’s greatest qualification isn’t expertise—it’s curiosity.
With humor, authenticity and a willingness to say yes to adventure, Gregory joins each adventure firsthand, creating an authentic look at the culture, history and resilience that have defined coastal Louisiana for generations.
New episodes will premiere monthly, with encore broadcasts throughout the month.
The series debuts with sailing the Mississippi River aboard a U.S. Coast Guard cutter during Sail 250 New Orleans, celebrating Louisiana’s Spanish heritage at the Los Isleños Fiesta, volunteering at Cook-Off for the Coast at Docville Farm, birding along one of North America’s most important migratory flyways just minutes from downtown New Orleans, and helping restore coastal wetlands by planting native marsh grasses with the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana.
More than a travel series, ECO TRIP is an invitation to discover coastal Louisiana and the enduring Gulf Coast spirit that unites
its people, culture, and waterways.
That invitation continues at the WYES COASTAL EXPO, where viewers can connect with
the people and organizations working to protect the region’s future.
On Saturday, September 26, from 1pm-4pm the public is invited to attend the WYES COASTAL EXPO. Guests
will enjoy a special screening of the first two episodes of ECO TRIP, explore interactive exhibits, and learn how local
environmental organizations are working to protect and restore Louisiana’s coast—and how each of us can make a diSerence.
Students interested in coastal restoration, environmental science, and conservation are especially encouraged to attend.
More details will be available soon.
