A New Book by Anne Butler

Louisiana Swamp Tours come in many forms and Anne details them all in her new book. 'Louisiana Swamp Tours, The Definative Guide' has just been published by Pelican Publishing Company. It is written by Anne Butler and I highly recommend you get it if you are thinking about doing a swamp tour. She includes some very useful educational info and a great history of the industry, as well describing the variety and style of many of the small Louisiana tour companies operating from Lafayette to New Orleans.

Introduction to
Louisiana Swamp Tours
The Definitive Guide:
Think if you've been on one swamp tour, you've seen them all? Think again. Louisiana has a huge diversity of swamps and wetlands, and the tours through these areas vary enormously according to focus---bird roosts, alligators, big cypress and tupelo gum trees, plenty of wildlife. Many of the guides have spent lifetimes learning the secrets of the swamps as professional fishermen, alligator hunters, trappers, guides, or lumbermen, and they share with passengers their love of the areas and their deep concerns over the fragility of the environments. Illustrated with dozens of fine nature images by award-winning photographer Henry Cancienne, this book contains everything you need to know about every swamp tour in the state. Available from Pelican Publishing and bookstores or from the author.
