CALCASIEU PINE SAVANNA MITIGATION BANK is located in Allen Parish, Louisiana. Biodiversity-rich pine savanna once flourished across the Gulf Coast, but was decimated by logging, development, and fire suppression. Today, less than two percent of this original habitat remains. The United States Army Corps of Engineers and the Louisiana Natural Heritage program have stressed the importance of this habitat, classifying it in the highest-importance category: “Rare, Imperiled, and Difficult to Replace.” EIP’s mitigation plan included the restoration and permanent protection of more than 1,486 acres of vital wetlands through a prescribed fire regime, restoring hydrology, and planting 468,000 native longleaf pine trees. Restoration was completed in Spring 2018. Now, Calcasieu Pine Savanna Mitigation Bank — along with nearby restored conservation lands — provides an ecologically significant tract that contributes to the reestablishment of this important regional habitat.
