ATLANTA— The National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) recently honored CNX Land Resources, Inc., by presenting the company with its Energy for Wildlife Corporate Achievement Award. The award recognizes corporations that demonstrate outstanding efforts to improve wildlife habitat and promote conservation and our hunting heritage.
The NWTF presented the award to CNX Land Resources during its annual Convention and Sport Show, held Feb. 21 to Feb. 24 in Atlanta.
Energy for Wildlife is a membership-based certification program for all energy companies with the primary goal of enhancing wildlife habitat on company-managed, - owned or -influenced lands. These lands include power line and gas rights of way, plant sites, woodlands and other properties.
CNX Land Resources is a land services company based in Pittsburgh, Pa., and is owned by Consol Energy. The company is also a Centurion Corporate Life Sponsor of the NWTF, and is currently working with the Federation to write and implement management plans on select properties. During the last 10 years, the company has allocated 50,000 acres of wildlife habitat to states for public access, and donated more than $50,000 for the purchase of conservation equipment.
Accepting the award on behalf of CNX Land Resources was Dennis Fredericks, who noted: "Together, CNX Land Resources and the NWTF are doing a lot of good things not only for wild turkeys, but other species as well."
"CNX Land Resources has always supported the NWTF's conservation programs," said Jay Jordan, NWTF's Energy for Wildlife Program Coordinator. "The folks at CNX have made great partners as we work together for wildlife. We're proud to have them on our team, and we look forward to continued success together in the future."
