Cheasapeake, OACD sponsoring award

Chesapeake Energy and Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts will honor the efforts of Oklahomans who devote their time and energy to protect and conserve natural resources.

The two groups are sponsoring the Chesapeake Outstanding Oklahoma Conservation District Award.

“We are truly honored to again have Chesapeake, Oklahoma’s most active driller and largest clean natural gas producer, as our partner in furthering conservation in Oklahoma,” said Trey Lam, OACD president. “Their continued sponsorship of this award and their commitment to protecting and conserving our natural resources is greatly appreciated. They are truly committed to the conservation and protection of our soil, water, air, and wildlife habitats.”

The Chesapeake Outstanding Conservation District Award is presented annually to the Oklahoma Conservation District judged as having the best overall conservation program in the state. This program includes the districts’ efforts to work with land owners to protect and conserve natural resources, education and youth programs, and community outreach activities. The winning district will receive $2,500 and recognition at the Governors’ Conservation Award Ceremony at the state Capitol during the spring legislative session.

“It’s an honor for Chesapeake to partner again with the Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts to recognize the outstanding conservation district in Oklahoma. Chesapeake is committed to being a leader in a wide variety of areas including the protection of Oklahoma’s environment and bountiful natural resources,” said Teresa Rose, Chesapeake director of community relations.

“This is a wonderful partnership between Chesapeake and OACD,” Clay Pope, OACD executive director of OACD said. “Through their continued sponsorship of this and other conservation programs and through their continuing commitment to the natural resources of Oklahoma, Chesapeake has proven themselves true supporters of our state.”
