    Feral Pigs: Their Environmental Impacts, Sign, Edibility, and Hunting Techniques

    Mark J. Hainds, LBWCC Forest Technology Faculty, mhainds@lbwcc.edu, 334.881.2275

    Feral pigs are one of the most significant invasive species in North America. In the southeastern U.S., feral pigs are particularly destructive to native ecosystems and the agricultural industry. After working in and studying the longleaf forests of the south for 15 years, Mark J. Hainds set himself the goal of killing a wild boar in 10 different states in the year 2007, the Chinese "Year of the Pig." He successfully completed his mission, traveling from Alabama to Maui, Hawaii, and back, pursuing wild boar with shotguns, rifles (centerfire, rimfire, and black powder), archery, and knives. He met his goal, chronicling his adventure in his first book, Year of the Pig, published by the University of Alabama in 2011. This presentation includes a selected description of the hunts, identification of feral pig sign, how pigs effect the environment, and how land managers deal with this emerging threat.

    Longleaf Pine: The Forest that Covered the South

    Mark J. Hainds, LBWCC Forest Technology Instructor, mhainds@lbwcc.edu, 334.881.2275

    Longleaf pine once covered 92 million acres of the southeastern United States, comprising the largest forest-type dominated by a single tree species on the planet. Over millennia, thousands of plants, animals, insects, and other life forms adapted and thrived in this fire-driven ecosystem. By the end of the 20th century, North America's longleaf forests had been reduced to almost 3 million acres, leading to the extinction or endangerment of scores of species. Today, longleaf is resurgent, with over 100 million longleaf pine seedlings planted annually. Hear the story of this magical forest and the people working to restore longleaf to its former range.

    Walking the U.S.-Mexico Border: Only One Person Has Done It!

    Mark J. Hainds, LBWCC Forest Technology Instructor, mhainds@lbwcc.edu, 334.881.2275

    The U.S.-Mexico Border is approximately 2,000 miles in length, and until 2017, no person had walked the entire distance. On Oct. 27, 2014, Mark J. Hainds set out from El Paso, Texas, walking south and east along the Rio Grande. Seven weeks and 1,000 miles later, he reached the Gulf of Mexico at Boca Chica Beach, becoming only the second person to have walked the length of the Texas-Mexico Border. On the two-year anniversary of completing this feat, He returned to El Paso on Dec. 21, 2016, and started walking west, covering the remaining 1,000 miles to the Pacific Ocean, through New Mexico, Arizona, and California. Featured in the film, La Frontera, covered in national media (Vice, Associated Press, Fox Business News, ABC, CBS, NBC, Univision, and Telemundo, just to name a few), Hainds' journey has been well documented and nationally recognized. This presentation describes the geography, wildlife, immigrants, farmers, ranchers, and law enforcement personnel he met along the way. The trip is also documented in Border Walk, scheduled to be published in 2017.

    When Both Ends of the Candle Burn Out

    Ayida Cumberland, MS, ALC, LBWCC Academic Support Coordinator, acumberland@lbwcc.edu, 334.881.2320, cell 334.508.2320

This presentation will focus on how individuals experience burnout in work, as well as in other areas of their life, i.e. home, church, relationships, etc. Learn effective strategies to implement in order to prevent burnout, in addition to the coping skills needed to overcome it.
