EQT Corporation, Wheeling Park Commission launch forestry management program

EQT Corporation announced the Company’s first nature-based carbon offset initiative. EQT has partnered with the Wheeling Park Commission, Teralytic, a soil analytics company, and Climate Smart Environmental Consulting, LLC, to implement forest management projects that will generate carbon offsets. The projects, which will span more than 1,000 acres of forest land at Oglebay and other forest property owned by the Wheeling Park Commission, will utilize Teralytic’s soil probe technology to ensure the quantification of offsets is accurate and transparent. "We are excited to take this first step in a partnership with EQT as the center of knowledge for forest improvement and soil health," said Wheeling Park Commission President & CEO Bob Peckenpaugh. "We have served our community for 100 years and for Oglebay to endure for another 100 years, we have a responsibility to the people of this community and the 2,000 acres we call home to clean up, maintain and improve our natural resources."
