INLC ENVISIONS A FUTURE OF INTERCONNECTED NATURAL HABITATS THROUGHOUT THE INLAND NORTHWEST, SUPPORTING THRIVING POPULATIONS OF NATIVE PLANTS AND WILDLIFE, RESPECTED, AND ENJOYED BY ALL WHO CALL THIS REGION HOME. THE CONSERVANCY HAS PROTECTED OVER 27,000 ACRES, INCLUDING 10,604 ACRES OF PARTNER PROJECTS, 1,365 ACRES OF PRESERVE LAND, 15,409 ACRES OF PRIVATE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS, AND 125 MILES OF PROTECTED WATERWAYS. IN 2023, THE TEAM PROTECTED TWO NEW PROPERTIES, TOTALING 4,441 NEW ACRES. THE CONSERVATION TEAM WAS ALSO ABLE TO CONNECT LANDOWNERS WITH LOCAL TRIBAL PARTNERS, SECURING SEVERAL THOUSAND MORE ACRES UNDER TRIBAL OWNERSHIP AND CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT.DURING THE YEAR, THE CONSERVANCY COMPLETED THE OLSON FAMILY CONSERVATION PRESERVE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PALOUSE LAND TRUST. WHILE PALOUSE LAND TRUST WILL OWN AND MANAGE THE LAND, INLC WILL ACT AS THE LAND'S GUARANTOR AND GUARDIAN OF THE OLSON FAMILY'S WISHES FOR THE PRESERVE. WHILE ONE-THIRD OF THE LAND WILL BE DEDICATED TO TRAILS BUILT FOR RESEARCH AND GUIDED FIELD TRIPS, THE OTHER TWO-THIRDS WILL BE PROTECTED FOR WILDLIFE HABITAT AND THE HEALTH OF BIG BEAR CREEK, A SPAWNING HABITAT FOR NATIVE STEELHEAD.A NEWLY FORMED TEAM OF HIKE DOCENTS LED NEARLY 500 PARTICIPANTS ON HIKES, FEATURING TRAILS AND PUBLIC RECREATION AREAS IN WHICH THE CONSERVANCY HAS HAD A HAND IN PROTECTING. MANY OF THESE PARTICIPANTS WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ENJOY NEW INTERPRETIVE SIGNAGE, PAID FOR THROUGH WASHINGTON STATE LEGISLATIVE FUNDING AND DEVELOPED AND INSTALLED BY THE INLC TEAM. THESE SIGNS HIGHLIGHT THE NATIVE HISTORY, ECOLOGICAL VALUE, AND IMPORTANCE OF THE CLEAN, COLD AQUIFER WATER THAT BUBBLES OUT OF THE HILLSIDES IN WAIKIKI SPRINGS NATURE PRESERVE AND THE NEWLY ACQUIRED GLEN TANA CONSERVATION PROJECT.IN AUGUST OF 2023, THE CONSERVANCY CLOSED ON THE PURCHASE OF MORE THAN 1,000 ACRES OF LAND ADJACENT TO WAIKIKI SPRINGS NATURE PRESERVE AND RIVERSIDE STATE PARK. THIS CRITICAL CONNECTING PROPERTY CONTAINS TWO MILES OF THE MEANDERING LITTLE SPOKANE RIVER. THANKS TO YEAR-ROUND AQUIFER RECHARGE FROM THE SPRINGS IN THE SURROUNDING HILLSIDES, THE WATER IN THIS RIVER STAYS COOL ALL YEAR, PROVIDING IDEAL SPAWNING HABITAT FOR NATIVE ANADROMOUS FISH SUCH AS SALMON, LONG BLOCKED FROM THIS WATERWAY BY THE CONSTRUCTION OF DAMS. THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SPOKANE TRIBE OF INDIANS, WILL ALLOW FOR A FISH-REARING FACILITY ABLE TO INTRODUCE THOUSANDS OF SALMON TO THE RIVER IN THE COMING YEARS AND SUPPORT THE BROADER EFFORTS OF THE UPPER COLUMBIA UNITED TRIBES TO RESTORE HISTORIC SALMON RUNS TO THE BLOCKED ZONE OF THE COLUMBIA RIVER.THROUGH A WASHINGTON STATE BUDGET APPROPRIATION, THE DEPLETION OF INLC'S CONSERVATION OPPORTUNITY FUND, AND A SIZEABLE LOAN, THIS PURCHASE SECURED THE LAND FOR SEVERAL YEARS AS THE CONSERVANCY SERVES AS A BRIDGE OWNER. EVENTUALLY, THE SPOKANE TRIBE WILL OWN A PORTION, AND WASHINGTON STATE PARKS WILL OWN AND MANAGE THE REST AS PART OF RIVERSIDE STATE PARK. THE CONSERVANCY IS UNDERTAKING A MULTI-YEAR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN TO RECOUP THE FUNDS USED FROM THE CONSERVATION OPPORTUNITY FUND AND COVER THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH OWNING THE LAND FOR THE TIME BEING. STAFF VISITED ALL 75 CONSERVATION EASEMENTS TO FULFILL ANNUAL MONITORING REQUIREMENTS. STAFF WORKED WITH VOLUNTEERS TO PRESERVE LANDS, FACILITATED A TOTAL VALUE OF $290,086 OF VOLUNTEER WORK TO REMOVE 5,500 LBS OF GARBAGE, PLANT 945 NATIVE TREES, AND IDENTIFY 89 NATIVE SPECIES DURING CITIZEN SCIENCE PROJECTS. WITH 649 ACTIVE DONORS, THE CONSERVANCY COLLABORATED WITH COMMUNITY AND AGENCY PARTNERS TO PROTECT NEW LANDS FOR PUBLIC ACCESS AND SECURED CRITICAL LAND IN CONNECTING CORRIDORS THROUGHOUT THE INLAND NORTHWEST REGION. THE SUCCESS OF THIS YEAR HAS POSITIONED THE CONSERVANCY FOR EXPONENTIAL GROWTH IN THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THE PROTECTION OF THE GLEN TANA PROPERTY AND CONTINUED WORK ON HIGH-VALUE PRIVATE CONSERVATION LAND. THE CURRENT CAPITAL CAMPAIGN WILL GROW THE FUND USED TO PROTECT LANDS AND WATERS FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT, AND BY RAISING AWARENESS OF THIS BEAUTIFUL AND VITAL PIECE OF THE LITTLE SPOKANE RIVER CORRIDOR, AND THE CONSERVANCY'S PROTECTION OF IT, THE COMMUNITY WILL COME TO VIEW INLC AS UBIQUITOUS WITH THE CAUSE OF CONSERVATION, PROTECTING THE VERY THINGS FOR WHICH PEOPLE MOVE HERE AND STAY HEREA LIFE OUTDOORS. 779165 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 1 9 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 X DAVE SCHAUB EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 5093282939 35 W MAIN AVE SUITE 210 SPOKANE WA 99201 LEYNA BERNSTEIN PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 TOM BRADLEY PRESIDENT (OUTGOING) 2.00 X X 0 0 0 TONI PESSEMIER VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 BRAIN BEHLER TREASURER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAKE WILLIAMSON TREASURER (OUTGOING) 1.00 X X 0 0 0 SALLY PRITCHARD SECRETARY 1.00 X 0 0 0 LINDSAY CHUTAS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JULIE JOHNSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 VANGE OCASIO HOCHHEIMER DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DEBRA SCHULTZ DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SANDY EMERSON DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVE SONNTAG DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID SCHAUB EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 100000 0 12821 100000 0 12821 0 0 0 0 0 3008109 3712245 2319998 6720354 178463 178463 1679649 1500000 1730124 1533090 -50475 -33090 -83565 -15066 -68499 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 900099 4290 4290 4290 6819542 4290 -15066 109964 112821 77721 10405 24695 465792 322004 41005 102783 62118 41623 7761 12734 51892 34359 6079 11454 12246 5706 1840 4700 32550 32550 6016 4016 2000 21297 21297 75445 54951 6637 13857 11443 9907 1536 67844 44797 6125 16922 30214 12979 12535 4700 9158 8730 110 318 8983 6979 671 1333 63164 63164 3486 2950 536 17668 15446 1602 620 LAND MANAGEMENT FEE 41216 41216 MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES 21843 18172 3456 215 ACCREDITATION FEES 13240 13240 FUNDRAISING EXPENSES 11636 11636 1205 1205 1141277 779165 152609 209503 729758 749023 2659476 916215 125000 13000 7500 6720 12196 10700929 9935 1102021 10690994 2955092 4802796 36700 42437 7502767 17346161 82592 96281 3038731 500000 82592 3635012 X 4466313 4160597 2953862 9550552 7420175 13711149 7502767 17346161 5678265 612717 -8 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 2300044 2054766 1105977 2002014 6720354 14183155 2300044 2054766 1105977 2002014 6720354 14183155 7500 80000 50000 1027874 2117450 3282824 0 7500 80000 50000 1027874 2117450 3282824 10900331 66239 38885 97447 79701 262028 544300 66239 38885 97447 79701 262028 544300 14020 3920 10474 2951 4290 35655 2380303 2097571 1213898 2084666 6986672 14763110 0.73830 0.78660 0.03690 0.03660 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 6016 0 6016 0 1135261 0 1141277 0 189128 0 47282 0 0 0 119909 179514 140480 189128 629031 943547 6016 6016 29977 44879 35120 47282 157258 235887 X X X 74 15410.00 0 0 2 1 1820.00 62120 36700 193 6069 525 42437 37830 -1090 40 36700 47900 -10070 37830 57965 10397 20462 47900 57723 352 -110 57965 0.00000 1.00000 0.00000 1 0 10689817 10689817 11112 9935 1177 10690994 STEWARDSHIP - DONOR RESTRICTED 2309870 F RBC - BOARD DESIGNATED 2492926 F 4802796 7475368 612717 64406 677123 6798245 21297 21297 6819542 1184386 64406 64406 1119980 21297 21297 1141277 PART II, LINE 3: THE VALUE OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS ARE NOT RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS THE ORGANIZATION DEEMS THESE TO HAVE NO FUTURE VALUE TO THE ORGANIZATION.
