Located near Longview, Texas, Eastman Chemical Company’s Texas Operations facilities occupy less than 1000 acres of the company’s 6,000 acres.  The unused acreage supports a rich ecosystem including bottomland hardwood, pine forest, grasslands, marsh, and water bodies.  This undisturbed acreage is home to a wide variety of native animals, birds, and plants.  Eastman is also an important stopover point for many species of birds migrating along ancient pathways in the sky. 

Eastman recognizes the impact our operations have on the surrounding ecosystem and is committed to maintaining this system in good condition for the wildlife and plants that call our property their home. Eastman
is continually working in partnership with numerous local, state, and national organizations to enhance our Nature & Wildlife Habitat Program. Some of these organizations that have assisted us in promoting a healthy environment for the wildlife and plants on our property include the Texas Forest Services, Northeast Texas Field Ornithologists, Native Plant Society, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Texas Parks & Wildlife, Boy Scouts of America, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, and Texas Cooperative Extension.

This website contains information about the nature and wildlife programs and activities in which Eastman is involved.  If you have questions regarding any of this information, please call our Responsible Care Coordinator - Michelle Holyfield - at 903.237.6629.

Sabine River Study

The Academy of Natural Sciences is periodically engaged to conduct studies of the condition of the aquatic environment in the Sabine River, both upstream and downstream of the Eastman Texas Operations facility. The company uses these studies to help make certain the wastewater discharge from the facility is not adversely impacting the receiving waters in the Sabine River. The study results indicate that Eastman's manufacturing operations are having no harmful impact on the Sabine River, and the river supports a healthy aquatic life.
