Minding the Forest
We talk about sustainable forestry, how important managed forests are to Louisiana and its economy and how forests benefit everyone. Managed forests offer more for water and wildlife. That's why the Louisiana Forestry Association advocates to keep forests as forests! We also talk about the issues important to the forest products industry.

For more than a decade, Dr. Glen Gentry and a team have been working on a way to curb the population explosion of feral hogs in Louisiana. An example, he said if Louisiana had 1 million feral hogs, 750,000 would have to be eliminated every year to keep the population at 1 million. However promising, the process of getting it approved through the Environmental Protection Agency is still a decade away. Gentry talks about the bait and what is the next phase to get it to market.
