    The Northeast Louisiana Delta was once the last bastion of the ivory-billed woodpecker and Louisiana black bear. For a time, agriculture and hardwood timbering took its toll on this lush bottomland of hardwood and cypress-tupelo swamp habitats. The ivory-billed woodpecker may be lost forever, but the Louisiana black bear is making an impressive comeback, thanks to an intensive wildlife conservation program. Hundreds of thousands of acres of abandoned farmland in this region have been purchased and restored to their former forested glory. Come discover Louisiana’s natural beauty! While you’re here, we hope you’ll find time to put down your binoculars and enjoy everything else our state has to offer—our unique music, cuisine, art and history.

    Take Totaland Camping with Landmen Busier Than Ever, It Is Time for an Occasional Autumn Break

    Take TotaLand Camping With landmen busier than ever, it is time for an occasional autumn break By Michele Day, Totaland-Land Acquisition Software With the oil and gas industry picking up, landmen are busier than ever. Statistics show that the increase in U.S. oil production are producing so many jobs, that there are not enough people to fill them. According to Investment bank Goldman Sachs, “the U.S. oil industry is about to make a huge comeback…to the tune of 100,000 new jobs by 2018.” While celebrating the increase in work, TotaLand’s leading edge software is on hand to help in organizing reports, mapping, billing and much more. To stay balanced, we encourage landmen to relax with occasional breaks to recharge. Pack up your tent, RV, S’mores and if necessary, TotaLand on your electronic device and head out to enjoy the cool weather and colorful fall foliage. Wherever you go, TotaLand is at your fingertips, even while taking those breaks by the campfire. With TotaLand’s HTML5 leading-edge technology, you can access billing, mapping, reports and more on your laptop, iPad, iPhone, smart phone or any electronic device. Today, landmen are back at work enjoying the upswing. Since the downturn in 2014 due to oversupply which pushed prices down internationally, landmen stayed focused, hopeful, and perfected skills to prepare for today’s oil boom. According to Rystad Energy, the U.S. is sitting on 264 billion barrels of oil reserves, which is more than Saudi Arabia, Russia or any other oil-producing country. Goldman is forecasting about 700 oil rigs to be created, each one with an average of 120 to 150 employees.
