The Gum Swamp mitigation bank area is owned by Weyerhaeuser NR Company and located in Livingston Parish, Louisiana. Gum Swamp is a bottomland hardwood mitigation bank that encompasses 1,125 total acres.

The bank is restoring 1,035 acres of intensively managed, bedded pine plantations to native bottomland hardwood forest. In addition, 62 acres of existing bottomland hardwood forest and 18 acres of uplands are being preserved.

Credits created from the restoration of bottomland hardwood wetlands on this site can be purchased to offset loss of wetlands as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
