Partnership with Apache Corporation Takes Root

Apache Corporation and Apache Foundation are indeed friends of the bear.  As a part of their "Million Tree" planting program, Apache has generously donated 500,000 trees and seedlings to the BBCC for planting in the priority bear corridor. 

With over half  of those trees in the ground, and more coming during the next planting season, Apache has helped the BBCC make a significant impact in the creation of bear corridors on the west bank of the Mississippi River in Louisiana. 

Thank you to Apache Corporation, Apache Foundation, and supporting Apache employees!

Feral Hog Problem?
 

Feral hogs can damage habitat and compete for food resources with other wildlife.  Even more troublesome, feral hogs carry diseases that are potentially communicable to domestic livestock and/or humans.

Brucellosis has been recently documented in feral hogs and humans.

The BBCC has portable hog traps for limited loan to BBCC members.

For more information, contact the BBCC.
