United States Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that two
Louisiana floodplain easement applications have been selected for
funding under the Recovery Act of 2009. The easements will cover 710
acres in Tensas Parish and 341 acres in Richland Parish. As a result of
this $1,798,528 investment, about 300,000 hardwood trees will be
planted. These trees will reduce the loss of future commodity crops by
removing the land from crop production, and will help restore the
habitat of the threatened Louisiana black bear.
