W.F. anti-litter campaign gets new focus

ST. FRANCISVILLE — West Feliciana Parish Sheriff J. Austin Daniel said he and 20th Judicial District Attorney Sam D’Aquilla plan a renewed focus on littering in the parish in advance of the annual Audubon Pilgrimage, scheduled March 16-18.
During the week of March 12, extra litter patrol crews will be operating throughout the parish in an effort to clean up the roadsides, and residents are asked to help clean up the areas around their homes, Daniel said.
Educational literature will be distributed in the schools for children to take home and share with their parents, he said.
“Hopefully, an awareness process will start at home, and all residents will be encouraged to dispose of trash properly. The local judges also are on board with this effort and have agreed to take a firm stand on litter bugs,” Daniel said.
Forward any questions or suggestions to the Sheriff’s Office by calling (225) 784-3109 or the District Attorney’s Office at (225) 635-4612, he said.
