Apache Donates More Than 61,000 Trees to 54 Organizations
January 15 2020 - 11:20AM
Apache Corporation (NYSE, Nasdaq: APA) has announced the donation
of over 61,000 trees to 54 partner organizations through its annual
Apache Tree Grant Program. Since the program’s launch in 2005, more
than 4.6 million trees have been planted with partners in 17
states. Plantings from this year’s grants began in October 2019 and
will continue through May.
"Now in its 14th year, Apache’s tree grant program is one of
many ways our employees and the company make lasting positive
contributions to our communities,” said John J. Christmann IV,
Apache's chief executive officer and president. “I’d like to thank
our dozens of local partners who we work with to help beautify
neighborhoods and support a range of conservation initiatives.”
“We are most grateful to Apache for their generous investment in
trees for our campus,” said Rebecca Gentry, the University of
Houston’s assistant vice president for strategic initiatives.
“Improving the grounds for our campus community is a University
priority, and we are delighted to partner with Apache in this
endeavor. More than 100 students and staff came out to plant trees
on Arbor Day – this is an act of optimism, an investment in our
future.”
“This tree donation from Apache is helping to support our
Communities Restoring Urban Swamp Habitat project,” said Dr. Deb
Visco Abibou, the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana’s
restoration program director. “As they establish roots and grow
canopies, these trees will: help absorb storm surge, reducing flood
risk for the communities inland of the Lake Maurepas land bridge;
work in synergy with the Coastal Master Plan by setting the stage
for sediment capture as river diversions come online; and build
capacity to sustain this resilience by providing hands-on learning
opportunities for the people who live in south Louisiana.”
Examples of this year’s projects include:
West Texas
Keep Odessa Beautiful will receive 200 trees for public land
improvements, and the Levelland Chamber of Commerce will receive 50

will receive 90 trees, and residents of Pecos will also enjoy 50

Housing Authority.
