Woodside Energy Group (ASX:WDS) said it will invest $5 million over six years to restore more than 800 acres of forest habitat at Sam Houston Jones State Park in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, as part of a large-scale ecological rehabilitation effort, according to a Wednesday statement by the company.

The project will be delivered in partnership with the Louisiana Office of State Parks, led by Lieutenant Governor Bill Nungesser, alongside RES and McNeese State University.

The initiative aims to restore native ecosystems such as longleaf pine forests, cypress-tupelo swamps, and hardwood stands through invasive species removal, reforestation, and prescribed burning.

The project also incorporates research and monitoring efforts to strengthen long-term ecological resilience and wildlife conservation while improving recreational access and the visitor experience.
