Spring squirrel hunting season begins Saturday (May 2) in Louisiana and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) reminds hunters to use social distancing practices due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries' (LDWF) Father/Child FUN (Families Understanding Nature) Camp scheduled for May 1-3 at the Woodworth Outdoor Education Center has been canceled.
With families spending more time at home and out and about in their neighborhoods due to the coronavirus pandemic, they may notice the abundance of wildlife and birds with which Louisiana is blessed. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries would like to remind the public that the best practice is to leave wildlife and birds alone and undisturbed even if you suspect them to be injured or orphaned.
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) reminds the public that Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs), refuges and shooting ranges remain open. Visitors, however, must practice social distancing measures and have no group larger than 10 people due to the coronavirus pandemic.
