"Chesapeake Energy has been a long time supporter of conservation in Oklahoma," Trey Lam, President of OACD said. "We are extremely excited that they have so generously donated this truck to help further conservation work in our state. They are truly committed to the conservation and protection of our soil, water, air and wildlife habitats."
The drawing for the vehicle will be open to any Conservation District that is current with their dues and has at least one district director registered for the entire OACD state meeting. Additional tickets will be given to districts for each additional director registered. The drawing for the truck, a quarter-ton four wheel drive fleet vehicle, will take place on the night of February 28th during the annual meeting legislative banquet
"It's an honor for Chesapeake to partner again with the Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts," said Tom Price, Jr., Chesapeake Senior Vice President - Corporate Development and Oklahoma County Landowner/Cooperator. "Donating this truck is a way we at Chesapeake can help highlight the importance of environmental responsibility and further the conservation work which is critical to maintaining a high quality of life in our state."
