Agriculture & Forestry Today ?^Zkl Zg] [Zrhnl The Louisiana black bear once roamed the entire Mississippi River Valley, but habitat loss, Commissioner Mike Strain, D.V.M. said Louisiana’s hunting and poaching cut into its numbers and landed the animal on the endangered species flood-stricken farmers may be eligible for low-interest list. Now the bear is making a slow comeback partly due to good timber management from emergency loans from the Farm Service Agency (FSA). landowners and the grass roots efforts of the Black Bear Conservation Committee.

Oftentimes the location of a bear is well known to hunting clubs from actual visual sightings and remote video surveillance. Hunting club cameras have been invaluable in ascertaining the bear population growth, Davidson said. “We’re learning a lot from the landowners and hunting clubs from their reports,” Davidson said. Once a signal is pinpointed, a graduate student studying bears travels to the loca- tion to determine if cubs are present and whether the bear is accessible. The bear’s den can be high in a hollow tree or buried deep within a dense woodpile. The bear expert listens to the sounds of the mother in her winter den and if cubs are present he’ll hear the babies mewing and whining. If mother bear has delivered cubs, she is tranquilized and the cubs examined and microchipped.

Carlson, continued from page 12 from St. Mary Parish to the Louisiana–Texas border. Fellow Re-vegetation Project Manager Matthew Benoit’s area ranges from St. Mary Parish to the Louisiana- Mississippi border. The coastal wetland re-vegetation program is conducted through partnerships among the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources/Coastal Restoration Division, the LDAF/Office of Soil & Water Conservation and eleven coastal Soil and Water Conservation Districts. Using locally adapted plant species, an average of 30 linear miles of shoreline and interior wetland restoration plantings are implemented each year within the Louisiana coastal zone. Carlson served nine years in the U.S. Army and met his wife, Jessica, while he was based at Fort Polk in Leesville, Louisiana. He says helping to save Louisiana’s coast- line and wetlands is very rewarding, even in such a different geographic region. “I have grown to love the food and the people in South Louisiana,” Carlson added. “However, the high humidity and alligators that accompany me into the marshes, well, they take some getting used to.”
