(AP) — The Conservation Fund expands the Maurepas Swamp Wildlife Management area by 40 percent, joining two previously separated areas of public land west of Lake Pontchartrain.
Gov. Bobby Jindal says the partnership with the Conservation Fund adds 29,600 acres of land for hunting, birdwatching and other outdoor activity. It brings the area’s public land to more than 100,000 acres in four parishes.
