Venice, Louisiana July 22, 2010 – The staff of McIntyre Youngblood Recruiting, in conjunction with the National Audubon Society, spent the day on the Gulf Coast as volunteer wildlife transport liaisons.
The staff volunteered in three different locations throughout the coast and Plaquemines Parish: Venice Beach, Joshua Marina, and Delta Marina. The volunteer effort was a success; each employee reiterated that giving back to the community was both gratifying and rewarding. “The oil spill has really hit our community hard, but with everyone’s efforts we can do our part in helping the cleanup and recovery,” said Lee Youngblood, co-founder of McIntyre Youngblood Recruiting, and a New Orleans resident.
McIntyre Youngblood Recruiting, LLC’s primary volunteer responsibility was to make sure that personnel at Unified Command-Houma Dispatch were assisted in the transportation efforts of affected wildlife to the rehabilitation center in Fort Jackson, Louisiana. McIntyre Youngblood Recruiting staff worked closely with National Audubon Society employees and animal transportation experts.
The animal activity was abnormally low on this day, which experts said could be both good and bad. The decreased pelican sightings were most likely caused by the looming tropical depression Bonnie, said animal transportation expert, Chris Trahan. “Animals naturally go in to hiding when weather patterns change,” said Trahan. The recovered pelicans have been tagged and released in Georgia, Florida, and Texas. Overall, the volunteer efforts were a success, with every McIntyre Youngblood Recruiting, LLC employee saying that the experience was both gratifying and rewarding.
