Louisiana Forest Law Promoted by Governor Blanchard
The Louisiana legislature faces a proposed forestry statute from Governor Blanchard aimed at private timber. It bans cutting trees under 12 inches diameter four feet high, excludes land-clearing for farms and road/house use, and penalties include fines up to 100 and imprisonment. It urges careful cutting to protect young trees and prevent waste, soil erosion, and broader harm to the people. The measure cites court rulings and notes forests support storm protection and regional prosperity, with broader implications for timber management.
