Environment Protection

The Felicianas has a good enough reason to be concerned about the protection of the environment. We have not contributed much to the factors causing global environmental change; yet we are among the most vulnerable! We ask you to enjoy the beauty and magic of this unique environment and to help us sustain it in its pristine form as long as possible.

The air is pure as can be. Unpolluted parks & forest teeming with wildlife and flora. Nature at its very best. This is what we ask you to share with us for as long as possible. During your most welcome presence here, do help by considering the following.

Avoid any activity that may harm any of the natural vegetation during your visit. Do refrain from injuring unnecessarily. If you feel like doing some fishing, inquire about approved programs and practices. Please avoid littering.

Do not discard batteries, dry cells, empty cans, bottles and other containers – especially polythene wrappings and bags – in places not intended as disposal points.

If you are charitable enough, please do pick up any offending articles that less conscientious persons may have left behind. We shall be duly grateful.

Enjoy your stay in a clean environment and please help us preserve it!

Many thanks to the organizations and government services which help to "Keep Felicianas Clean". Some organizations which help; Feliciana Nature Society, The Nature Conservancy of Louisiana, WFP Historical Society, Garden Society, Louisiana State Parks & Historic Sites, US Fish and Wildlife, Louisiana Wildlife & Fisheries and others.
