Indra Energy Customers Revitalize Florida's Longleaf Pine Forests

Indra Energy Customers Drive Longleaf Pine Forest Restoration in Florida

PHILADELPHIA, PA, UNITED STATES, October 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Continuing its commitment to global reforestation, Indra Energy is highlighting the significant environmental impact its Green Tree Energy Plans are generating in Florida, through a vital partnership with veritree. This initiative empowers Indra Energy customers to directly contribute to the restoration of one of America's most cherished and critical ecosystems: the Withlacoochee State Forest with longleaf pines.

Once a sprawling and vital component of the southeastern United States, the magnificent longleaf pine forests have faced severe decline due to centuries of altered land use. Today, less than five percent of their original forest remains. The Withlacoochee State Forest, a crucial part of this natural heritage, is a prime example of an area in need of restoration.

Through their participation in the Green Tree Energy Plans, Indra Energy customers are directly contributing to a pivotal project in partnership with veritree and the Florida Forest Service. This effort is dedicated to re-establishing the resilient longleaf pine and sandhill ecosystem within the Withlacoochee State Forest. By supporting the verified planting of these fire-tolerant and drought-resistant trees, Indra Energy’s customers are helping to cultivate a forest that excels at capturing carbon, minimizing soil erosion, and significantly enhancing the water quality of the Withlacoochee River watershed – a critical water source for eight surrounding counties.

"It's incredibly rewarding to see our customers directly contributing to the revival of Florida's iconic longleaf pine forests," commented Jeff Rodgers, Chief Marketing Officer at Indra Energy. "Their decision to choose renewable energy is translating into real, measurable ecological benefits like stronger ecosystems. This project in Florida truly embodies how collective action can safeguard our natural world for years to come."

veritree’s unique platform includes three stages of verification to ensure transparency of all planting activities, and even tracks survivability rates for the most accurate restoration insights. This vital work strengthens local biodiversity, restoring habitat for gopher turtles, red-cockaded woodpeckers, and bobtail qualis, as well as bolstering the forest's natural defenses against the impacts of climate change.

"Indra’s Green Tree Energy Plan exemplifies the restorative economy by combining home energy solutions with support for projects like the Withlacoochee State Forest," said David Luba, Co-founder and Head of Partnerships at veritree. "We're excited to partner with Indra to power and restore critical wildlife habitat while powering customers' homes."
