Trees are an invaluable natural resource. They beautify our neighborhoods, provide habitats for wildlife, and help to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. The Apache Corporation Tree Grant Program focuses on large-scale conservation, protection of habitats for wildlife and native species, as well as the restoration and enhancement of public greenspaces. This award-winning environmental stewardship initiative is helping Apache leave a lasting positive impact for current and future generations in the areas where we live and work.

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. We donate trees to a wide variety of organizations, including cities, counties, schools, parks, universities, youth associations, wildlife refuges and charitable service groups. In addition to the development and improvement of public parks and greenspaces, community partners often request trees to support a broad range of conservation efforts, including preservation of natural habitats and reforestation.

In 2023, we expanded the program to Scotland partnering with nonprofit organizations and government agencies.

In 2025, we donated more than 16,000 trees to 14 U.S. nonprofit partner organizations. Since expanding internationally in 2023, the program has also supported conservation projects in the United Kingdom. Examples of tree planting partners and projects for the 2025/2026 planting season include:

• The City of Houston and Harris County, for reforestation and beautification across public parks, nature trails and roadways, including seedling plantings, storm recovery, flood control and habitat restoration;
• The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, for establishing wildlife habitat and advancing reforestation at state parks and nature centers across Texas;
• Hermann Park Conservancy, for enhancing green space and supporting habitat restoration within one of Houston’s most visited parks;
• Lamar State College Port Arthur Foundation, for campus beautification and green space enhancements;
• Bryan Noon Lions Club, for restoring habitat and replacing trees lost to storms;
• The City of Alpine, for hosting a Texas Arbor Day tree giveaway with community education on planting and care;
• Medical Center Health System Foundation, for a beautification enhancement project.
