Lookout related information:
-In February we added two new existing towers to the NHLR (Kisatchie Lookout US 901/LA 5; and Gum Springs Lookout US 902/LA 6).
-In February we added three new Former Fire Lookout Sites (FFLS) to the Register (Red Dirt Lookout Site; Catahoula Lookout Site; and Colfax Lookout Site). In April we added the Clear Creek Lookout Site to the FFLS Register. There are some great historic photos that accompanied these nominations.
-Due to the downturn in the economy that still persisted, work on the Mosley Hill Lookout was put on hold.
-As of the end of 2011 the LA Chapter Director, Mark Gutzman, was transferred to New Mexico where he has taken up the vacant Chapter Director position there. Louisiana is currently looking for a replacement for Mark.
Goals for 2011:
-Complete FFLS Register nominations for the Antonia Lookout. This will be done by Mark Gutzman.
-Complete NHLR nomination for the Olla Lookout (Louisiana State Forestry). This will be done by Mark Gutzman.
-Search for a new LA Chapter Director.
-Build the LA membership.
