 This year’s annual Gulf Forest Soils Tour was hosted by Richard Keim of LSU RNR and based in Hammond. This is an informal group that meets once per year to learn about forest soils research and management in the western gulf-coast south. On May 22-23 2007, the tour visited a bottomland hardwoods site in Jean Lafitte National Park and swamp sites in Joyce Wildlife Management Area and Southeastern Louisiana University’s Turtle Cove Research Station near Manchac. Tour speakers included Stephen Faulkner of the USGS National Wetlands Research Center, Gary Shaffer of Southeastern Louisiana University, and Julie Whitbeck of the University of New Orleans. Next year’s tour will also be co-hosted by RNR, as the torch has been passed to Michael Blazier.
