FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT Jake Taylor jake.taylor@coga.org DENVER – Outdoor recreation and activities are treasured by Coloradans and tourists alike. The provisions needed to maintain our outdoor recreational spaces, trails, and habitats do not stop during economic downturns or global pandemics, which why the Colorado Energy Foundation, supported by Colorado’s oil and natural gas industry, is announcing a $37,500 donation to assist the Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado organization. Since 1984, Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC) has worked with conservation and land agencies, and thousands of volunteers annually to provide a workforce for outdoor stewardship projects across Colorado – from city parks and open spaces, to grasslands and foothills, to alpine meadows and peaks. “Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado motivates and enables people to become active stewards of Colorado’s natural resources through hands-on volunteer and training programs. VOC believes everyone has a place in caring for Colorado and is proud to partner with the Colorado Energy Foundation to accomplish even more for the state’s parks, trails, and open spaces,” said Ann Baker Easley, Executive Director, Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado. “Colorado’s oil and natural gas industry is made up of environmental advocates, outdoor enthusiasts, and committed stewards of our land who cherish our access to some of the most beautiful hiking trails, parks, and campgrounds in the country. By supporting Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado through these uncertain times, we eagerly look forward to resuming these conservation efforts, and the opportunity for all Coloradans to enjoy and utilize our state’s natural wonders,” said Dan Haley, President and CEO of the Colorado Oil & Gas Association. Sara Reynolds, Director of the Colorado Energy Foundation added: “Protecting and maintaining our great outdoors might be one of the most ‘Colorado’ traits associated with those who live and work here. We are thrilled to partner with Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado to assist their mission in the preservation and continued access to the beautiful outdoors in our state.” The Colorado Energy Foundation has raised over $150,000 to be distributed to its cohort of community partners on behalf of the oil and natural gas industry.
