Reward for information on wildlife viewing area fire continues to grow
BRINKLEY - A local Brinkley businessman has added another $1,000 to the reward for information about the arson fire that destroyed a wildlife-viewing area on the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's Dagmar Wildlife Management Area. Robin Hagaman, who operates the East Lake Unlimited II antique store in Brinkley, added an additional $1,000 to push the reward amount to $3,000.

The Audubon Society of Central Arkansas and the Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation each have offered $1,000 for information. The viewing bridge was burned to the ground in early June. The viewing area was an abandoned railroad trestle that was being renovated to accommodate bird watchers.

The bridge became a popular wildlife viewing spot after it was announced that the ivory-billed woodpecker had been found in the Bayou DeView area of eastern Arkansas.

Several scientists have seen at least one ivory-bill in the Bayou DeView area in 2004 and early 2005. These are the first confirmed sightings of the elusive bird in the world since 1944.

Anyone with information about the fire should call the AGFC in Brinkley at (870) 734-4581 or toll-free (877) 734-4581 and ask for the Enforcement Division. Another point of contact for furnishing information is the AGFC toll-free number at (800) 482-9262.  Request to speak to Lt. Stephanie Moudy, Maj. Chris Carpenter, Maj. Chuck Woodson or Col. John Day.
