December 17 2020 - 09:00AM
Apache Corporation (Nasdaq: APA) has announced the donation of more
than 64,000 trees to 56 nonprofit partner organizations through the
annual Apache Tree Grant Program. Since the program’s launch in
2005, the company has provided more than 4.8 million trees to
partner organizations in 17 states. Plantings from this year’s
grants began in October 2020 and will continue through May 2021.
"We are excited about another great group of grant
recipients for this year’s Apache Tree Grant Program,” said John J.
Christmann IV, Apache's chief executive officer and president. “We
thank our partners for their commitment to conservation, habitat
restoration and neighborhood beautification by planting and caring
for these trees.”
Among this year’s recipients, the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department received more than 500 trees to benefit six
state parks and across various regions including Devils River,
Goliad State Park, Lake Livingston State Park, Lockhart and
Palmetto State Park, Martin Dies Jr. State Park and for other
projects in Region 2 and Region 3.
“The Apache Tree Grant program has provided
thousands of trees to Texas State Parks and facilities over the
years,” said Annalise Reichert, sustainability program specialist,
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. “The trees have been used for
a variety of natural resources projects, such as riparian habitat
restoration, erosion mitigation and those establishing wildlife
habitats. TPWD is grateful to Apache and looks forward to future
opportunities to further our mission of conserving the natural
resources of Texas for present and future generations.”
“We are really excited to be part of the Apache
Tree Grant Program,” said Bob Stokes, president, Galveston Bay
Foundation, another 2020 recipient. “The 300 trees we receive this
year will be used to help re-forest our new 30-acre headquarters
site in Kemah. We intend to host thousands of visitors each year at
the new site and look forward to having them witness the growth of
these trees and the reforestation that will occur over the
years.”
“Habitat restoration and reforestation on the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service's South Texas Refuge Complex has been an
ongoing effort for over 40 years,” said Kimberly Wahl-Villareal,
plant ecologist, U.S. FWS Reforestation and Restoration program and
2020 grant recipient. “This program strives to restore the
ecological function of the Tamaulipan thornscrub forests and
preserve the wildlife species which these forests support, such as
the endangered ocelot and a host of migratory birds. Through Apache
Corporation's generous and continued support over the past six
years, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has been able to plant
75,000 tree seedlings across 98 acres, restoring habitat for the
native flora and fauna of south Texas.”
