Background and Discussion:
The Apache Corporation is a Houston-based oil and gas exploration and production company. Since 2005, the Apache Corporation Tree Grant Program has provided more than 5 million trees to over 1,000 nonprofit charitable partners and government agencies in the U.S. Apache Corporation has donated trees to a wide variety of organizations, including cities, counties, schools, parks, universities, youth associations, wildlife refuges, and charitable service groups.
