Apache Corporation has announced the launch of the Apache Tree Grant Programme in Scotland for the 2023-2024 planting season.
Initially launched in the United States, the scheme is an award-winning initiative focused on large-scale conservation, protection of habitats for wildlife and native species, as well as the restoration and enhancement of public green spaces.
Since 2005, Apache, which has a base in Aberdeen, has donated more than five million trees to over 1000 non-profit organisations and government agencies across the company’s US operating areas.
UK country manager Jillian Owen said: “We are thrilled to bring the success of the Apache Tree Grant Programme to Scotland, expanding the impact of the programme to the UK.
“This initiative embodies Apache’s spirit of community partnership and commitment to environmental stewardship.
"By extending its reach to the UK, we hope to leave a legacy for current and future generations by enhancing green spaces and fostering stronger bonds between people and their environment, one tree at a time.”
The Apache Tree Grant Programme is open to Scottish non-profit organisations and government agencies. Recipients must agree to receive all awarded trees in a single delivery and are required to provide ongoing care and maintenance of the trees.
Grant awards will be announced in December 2023, and all trees must be received and planted or distributed no later than May 31, 2024.

Founded in 2005, the Apache Tree Grant Program is a philanthropic initiative of Apache Corporation that donates trees to non-profits and government entities in the company’s operational areas.
The program focuses on grants that support large-scale conservation, protection of habitats for wildlife and native species, as well as the restoration and enhancement of public green spaces.
This award-winning environmental stewardship initiative has provided more than five million trees to over 900 qualified partners in the US.
In addition to the development and improvement of public parks and green spaces, community partners often request trees to support a broad range of conservation efforts, including preservation of natural habitats and reforestation.
