The BBCC was formerly known as the Black Bear Conservation Committee.

 If you have land located in the Mississippi, Atchafalaya, Ouachita, Red, or Neches River corridors (in Louisiana, Mississippi, or Texas), the BBCC would like to help you convert your marginal cropland back to forest.
Bottomland hardwood forests are prime habitat for many species of wildlife, including bears. It is estimated that over 250 species use this type of habitat. Riparian corridors also provide important habitat for migrating birds returning to their breeding ranges in the north country.
Tree planting options includ cost-share, donated plantings, and some profitable incentives. The BBCC will help you find the solution that best meets your needs and plans for your property. If we can't plant trees for you, we can direct you to others who can.
If you are interested in putting your land back into trees, contact the BBCC or call (225) 763-5425.

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.
