Tessa Sandstrom, North Dakota Petroleum Foundation, talks about a fundraising campaign for their Planting for the Future Program.
Planting for the Future’s goal is to work with wildlife groups, private landowners, and industry, to create large-scale tree and shrub plantings on private land that will serve as habitat for future generations. Trees and forests are an important resource, providing watershed protection, wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities, and protection for crops, soil and livestock.
Last year, they planted 58,000 trees, which beat their three year goal in less than two years.
The North Dakota Petroleum Foundation has partnered with the Outdoor Heritage Fund and many of the Petroleum Council’s premier partners to launch this program.
