Default Union WMA Closes

Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) announced Friday that the property known as Union Wildlife Management Area (WMA) will no longer be part of the department’s WMA program, effectiveJuly 1, 2015. LDWF has decided to conclude the long-term lease with Plum Creek Timber Company on approximately 10,000 acres in Union Parish, focusing instead on supporting wildlife management efforts in other WMAs within the LDWF system.
“LDWF will continue to pursue opportunities on properties that facilitate wildlife habitat management while providing quality outdoor recreation options for the public,” said Steve Smith, LDWF WMA program manager. “Those resources previously utilized on this area will be redirected in a manner through which they can be best utilized within the WMA system for conservation and public use.”
For many years, Plum Creek provided hunting access on this WMA in northeast Louisiana. The companywill now offer these lands for lease to individuals or hunting clubs. Additional information about recreational leasing opportunities is available at the Plum Creek webiste [see the 'related links' section]..
Plum Creek is among the largest and most geographically diverse private landowners in the United States with timberlands in 19 states, and wood products mills in the Northwest, managing lands using sustainable practices to benefit Plum Creek’s many stakeholders. Plum Creek employeeswork together to serve as stewards of the environment, make wood products for everyday use, and build strong communities to create shareholder value.




Anyone ever hunted this WMA?
