Based on some of the providers’ responses, that purpose was not clear. The comments about state parks were not very pertinent to this survey because state park facility providers were not polled. In the future, efforts to more clearly communicate the purpose of this outreach should be made.

  • The Enslaved Families of Fontainebleau
    THE ENSLAVED FAMILIES OF FONTAINEBLEAU A Summary for the 2019 Dedication of the Historic Marker FEBRUARY 19, 2019 RESEARCH BY JACKSON CANTRELL, IMAGES COLLATED BY LEANNE CANTRELL P a g e | 1 Introduction Before we can discuss the lives of the enslaved families who once resided at Fontainebleau, it is helpful to know how and why the plantation was created in the first place. For residents of the city of Mandeville, Louisiana, stories about the town’s founding father, Bernard de Marigny de Mandeville are widely known. When he and his siblings inherited their father’s vast estate (some historians claim his holdings may have been worth $7 million or around $200 million in today’s value) he was just shy of 16 years old. Bernard had seen a life of indulgence and privilege like few other teenagers ever had. His mentors did their best to educate him and help him mature before he arrived at the legal age of maturity. As a 21-year-old in 1806 New Orleans, he began subdividing the family’s plantation there into residential lots that would become the suburb known as the Fauberg Marigny. Two decades later, Bernard had by then helped facilitate the winning of The War of 1812 and served as President of the Louisiana State Senate. He began looking toward the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain as an area where he might purchase and again subdivide land. His goal was to create a resort town near pine forests, the lakefront, and fresh-water bayous. While laying out the plans for his little city, he created street names to honor various statesmen and war heroes.

  • Louisiana Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy
    LOUISIANA COMPREHENSIVE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION STRATEGY Louisiana Department of Wildlife & Fisheries September 2005 LOUISIANA COMPREHENSIVE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION STRATEGY FINAL DRAFT SEPT 2005 LA CWCS FINAL DRAFT SEPT 2005 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Louisiana serves as a permanent or temporary home to over 900 species of vertebrate animals and an unknown number of invertebrates. From its diverse coastal marshes to its interior pine-dominated landscapes, the state offers habitat to a variety of wildlife in numbers seldom exceeded elsewhere. These rich areas provide refuge to 24 million migrant songbirds on a typical spring day and 5 million waterfowl during an average winter. They’re home to some 200 rookeries of wading birds and seabirds, some arguably the largest in North America. Biologically diverse as it may be, many of the species and habitats critical to wildlife are declining. Through the development of the Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy (CWCS), we have reviewed the status of all wildlife species known in Louisiana, and have identified 240 species of concern that need specific conservation attention. This list of 173 vertebrates and 67 invertebrates is not limited to nongame species. Bobwhite Quail, Northern Pintail, and King Rail are examples of hunted species that are also in decline. Data indicate that the take from hunters is not the cause of this decline Alternatively, habitat loss is the true source of the decline of these species and numerous nongame species. Factors that threaten habitat also influence populations of these declining species, and these threats must be addressed in order to stop the declines. As an attempt to meet this challenge, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) broadened its constituency base in the development of the Louisiana CWCS.

In such habitats, longleaf pine mixes with southern magno- lia and sweetgum on the upslopes, while swamp blackgum and pond cypress mix in the bottoms. Marshes are dominated by cattail, salt-marsh mallow (summer/fall), southern blue flag (spring) and wild rice.

Visit the Big Branch National Wildlife Refuge Visitors Center for specific information on finding this spe- cies, as well as extensive interpretive exhibits and other information. In addition to Big Branch NWR, the Madisonville Marsh and Mandeville Lakefront should not be missed, particu- larly for hard-core birders! The former features a diverse array of herons, egrets, waterfowl (winter), and sparrows (winter), while the latter boasts various species of loons, grebes, and diving ducks (winter), along with gulls, terns, Osprey, Bald Eagle, and other raptors.

VISION FOR OUTDOOR RECREATION IN LOUISIANA Through a series of six stakeholders meetings across Louisiana, online and random surveys, coordinated GIS mapping, and working closely with the 2014-2019 Louisiana SCORP Task Force Committee (TFC), the following vision was developed: SCORP VISION To provide Louisiana communities with well-maintained, professionally run recreational facilities, natural areas, and trail systems in order to promote healthy, active lifestyle choices.

The five areas of focus were: • Economic Tourism • Trails • Innovation • Community Outdoor Recreation • Cooperation and Coordination A summary of these strategies and regional priority recommendations can be found in Appendix H . This vision builds upon the Top Ten priorities identified for various categories in the 2009-2013 Louisiana SCORP. The categories, which outlined parish specific issues, needs and opportunities as articulated through the public engagement process, included: • Funding • Acquisition • Development • Promotion and Marketing • Planning and Implementation • Program Development • Greater Access • Management Each of the categories had priorities associated with them. These priorities were used to inform the vision for the 2014- 2019 Louisiana SCORP. A full list of these previous planning efforts is included in Appendix A . 6 Louisiana Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan • 2014 - 2019 Chapter 1: Introduction1 B.

  • The Native People of Fontainebleau
    1 The Native People of Fontainebleau Research by Jackson Cantrell, 2019 Eagle Scout Project The following summary concerns people that played a pivotal role in our nation’s and state’s history, specifically, the Native cultures in the area of Fontainebleau State Park. The park is three miles east of Mandeville and covers 2800 acres of wooded lands and beaches bounded by Lake Pontchartrain, Cane Bayou, and Bayou Castine in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana. Fontainebleau State Park is about 40 minutes’ drive from New Orleans. The park was the former plantation started by Bernard de Marigny de Mandeville in 1829, and it is known for not 2 only the ruins of an old sugar mill but for an oak alley that once sheltered quarters for 40 enslaved families. They numbered 153 in 1840, including 57 children under the age of 10. Of interest is that Marigny entrusted highly technical work to the enslaved workforce instead of hiring these jobs out to whites or free men of color. What was especially unique about this group of workers is that ten of them crewed a schooner that sailed back and forth across Lake Pontchartrain for more than 20 years. Two men – Ned Goelette and Valery Goelette – were the schooner’s pilots or captains. Both were enslaved and of African descent, but Valery was documented as being “griffe” meaning that he was half Native. Goelette was not the men’s last name, but just the translation of the French word for schooner. Their roles were so critical in getting Marigny’s products to market in New Orleans that they were identified this way on all legal documents.
