The Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission (LWFC) approved amendments to a Notice of Intent (NOI) for changes to the Scenic Rivers Program during its February meeting Thursday (Feb. 5) in Baton Rouge. The commission passed the original NOI during its July 2025 meeting.
The NOI and amendments are designed to expedite the permitting process, including the establishment of general permits, and clarify selective harvesting of trees within the 100-foot buffer of a Scenic River.

A public hearing on the amendments will be held March 24 at 10 a.m. in the Louisiana Room of LDWF Headquarters in Baton Rouge. For more information, contact LDWF’s Amelia Wolfe at awolfe@wlf.la.gov.
