The Louisiana Gulf Coast Herpetological
Society, Inc. is dedicated to the preservation of reptiles, amphibians,
and invertebrates and to the conservation of their natural habitat, and
to the promotion of their proper captive husbandry and propagation. The
society emphasizes the education of its members and the public in all
areas relevant to the appreciation of these unique animals.
Much has changed since the storms. We have restarted club activities and are now back with
more events and activities than ever! While the ’05 hurricane season caused us to lose touch with many
members, we have since managed to rebuild our membership base accordingly. If you
are just now getting back in touch with us please use this
form to update your contact information.
It is important that we have your Email address as this is our primary means to contact you. Mayl Meeting - May 23 & 24 - Kisatche National Forest It's time again to start preparing for one of our most popular events, The Annual 2008 Kisatchie Field Trip. For those of you who are not familiar with this event, we drive up on Friday afternoon for a BBQ at Theron Magers house, stay the night, and the next day we herp the forest. There is limited floor space to sleep in the house and a large yard for tents if you wish to camp, There are also several hotels in the area (see below for directions to Therons and Hotels). Another thing to remember, if you plan on collecting in the forest, a Louisiana fishing license is required and make sure to bring any equipment you might need (tents, sleeping bags, blankets, pillows as well as herping equipment such as hooks, bags, etc). As I said, Friday night there will be a BBQ and some drinks provided. If you prefer a particular beverage or just don't care for BBQ you may want to consider bringing your own food and/or drinks. It would be nice to have a count of how many people will be attending this year in order to arrange to have enough food for everyone. Please RSVP me at swampman@bellsouth.net or you can call me at 504/606-9009 if you plan to attend and if you will be staying overnight on the 23rd or just the day of the 24th. Remember this is also going to be our May meeting so let's have a good turnout...Directions to Theron's From New Orleans take I-10 West to Lafayette, Exit on I-49 North, Boyce is on I-49 approximately 15 miles North of Alexandria. Take the first Boyce Exit which is LA-1. The exit puts you directly on LA-1 North. Turn left just before the caution light on Longford St. A funeral home is on the corner.
