Organizationally, the base of supporters increased, along with the capacity to manage advocacy efforts though improved outreach. Over 1200 supporters regularly receive communications and action alerts, and the social media outreach was expanded. The staff and board completed dozens of meetings statewide with local and state government agencies, and met with community groups, clubs and advocates around Wyoming. Staff also visited or video conferenced with many public lands offices, with significant partnership efforts with the US Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management in Laramie, Lander, Thermopolis, and Jackson Hole that are creating enhanced public trail systems. 40000 40000 Wyoming Pathways regularly met and corresponded with officials on the benefits and needs of biking and walking in Wyoming and to support funding programs. Educational and encouragement efforts included the local governments, Wyoming Legislature, state agencies, and with WY Governor Gordon's office. The impact can measured with progress with key State Agencies that resulted in measurable impact, including training for community leaders and advocates on bicycle pedestrian design best-practices, general program improvement, assisting communities with pathway and trail fund raising plans, and promoting budget choices to better support bicycle, pedestrian and trail programs and policies. Departments of Health, WYDOT, State Parks, Business Council, State Lands, Governor's office are all engaged, and continued progress is evident. 284208 182820 Wyoming Pathways has developed a very successful trail building partnership program and participated meaningfully in the public planning process of a number of state and federal agencies, to improve agency policies and planning decisions. Over the grant period this includes comment efforts with USFS, DOI, and the BLM public land agencies. Forest Service partnerships continue to help improve the Pole Mountain trail system on the Medicine Bow NF that serves Laramie and Cheyenne. Almost four miles were completed connecting Pole Mountain to Happy Jack and the Tie City parking lot. The partnership with the Lander BLM continued trail improvements at Johnny Behind the Rocks area, serving Lander WY and the visiting public. The new "J-Line" trail is a downhill optimized first-of-its-kind trail on public lands. Wyoming Pathways completed the Thermopolis,WY "Round Top" trail which is the end point of the trail that will connect Hot Springs State park through T-Hill and old airport. Wyoming Pathways programs supported protecting our public lands while enhancing access to enjoy them. 0 0 0 374208 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X Gina Colovich 3073495443 PO Box 725 Lander WY 82520 Michael Kusiek Executive Director 40 X X 80000 0 0 Gordon Edwards President 3 X X 0 0 0 Melanie Arnett Board member 2 0 X 0 0 0 John Gallagher Treasurer 0 0 X X 0 0 0 Clair Smith Secretary 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Jerimiah Reiman Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Margie Lynch Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Sarah Stacy Fitz-Gerald Board Member 2 0 X 0 0 0 80000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 162000 302483 0 464483 0 25 25 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 464508 25 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 87083 72083 10000 5000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 80505 75000 5000 505 7560 7560 0 0 932 632 300 3293 3293 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3980 3980 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1469 1469 0 0 Pole Mountain Trails 2022 81209 81209 0 0 Thermopolis Round Top Trail 64073 64073 0 0 Lander BLM Trails JBR 64010 64010 0 0 899 899 0 0 395013 374208 15300 5505 219426 288895 50192 50218 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 269618 339113 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 269618 339113 0 0 269618 339113 269618 339113 69495 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 133220 126079 180770 135112 296483 871664 129400 101590 188302 202450 168000 789742 262620 227669 369072 337562 464483 1661406 1661406 50 50 31 131 50 0 50 31 0 131 0 0 262670 227669 369122 337593 464483 1661537 0.99992 0.99991 0.00008 0.00009 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2000 2000 4000 391013 395013 79003 19751 0 0 49975 64252 59941 79003 253171 379757 2200 4000 3500 4000 13700 12494 16063 14985 19751 63293 94940 700 1800 1500 2000 6000 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The 990 is first prepared by the Executive Director with assistance from the bookkeeper, then distributed to the Board of Directors for review.
