CPC conserves land, restores and enhances wildlife habitat, and educates the public on the value and importance of prairies. 0 0 4976537 0 Land Conservation - The Coastal Prairie Conservancy (CPC, formerly known as Katy Prairie Conservancy) protects coastal prairie, wetlands, and agricultural lands in the following ways: acquisition of conservation lands at fair market value, acquisition of conservation lands through a bargain sale arrangement, receipt of donated conservation lands to CPC, receipt of donated trade lands to CPC, donation of conservation easements to CPC, and purchase of development rights on conservation lands in southeast Texas. Conservation lands are held in permanent trust and are maintained for the benefit of both the wildlife that inhabit the lands and the public who enjoy visiting CPC's preserves. 482413 223455 Land Stewardship - CPC monitors its conservation easement lands annually to ensure that the goals and objectives of the easement are followed and that the land retains its conservation values. CPC establishes baseline data on all its easements so it can track changes over time through regular monitoring protocols. CPC develops detailed management plans for its fee-owned properties to remove invasive species (including Chinese Tallow, McCartney Rose, feral hogs and other feral animals) and to improve the conservation values of these lands by restoring or creating wetlands and enhancing and restoring native grasslands. 291428 283922 Land Management & Restoration - During 2003-2004, CPC's Board of Directors purchased a majority interest in the historic Warren Ranch, a 6,000-acre working cattle ranch. It's part of CPC's mission to protect the unique scenic, historic, and natural resources on the Katy Prairie. Well-managed farmland shelters wildlife, supplies scenic open space, and helps filter impurities from our air and water. Warren Ranch's agricultural lands offer many other benefits: preservation of natural resources; outdoor recreation, including bird watching, hunting, and nature tours; improved flood protection; economic development through eco-tourism; enhanced wildlife habitat; recharge zones for the area's aquifers; educational field trips for area youth; local food sources; and research opportunities for colleges in ecology and land management. 196055 Public Outreach - CPC works with various governmental entities to track and monitor public policy issues that may affect CPC's lands, including major thoroughfare and road plans, flood control initiatives, and conservation easement tax incentives. CPC offers events, tours, and programs to enable the public to enjoy different aspects of its protected lands. In addition, CPC also hosts small group tours (working in cooperation with other conservation entities and area naturalists) as well as field trips for young people. Interpretive signs and field guides enhance the visitor experience, and expanded outreach and marketing efforts through CPC's website and electronic newsletter broaden audience reach. CPC has also developed programming at area schools and parks to make people more aware of the importance of prairies to the region. CPC also provides extensive virtual programming when visiting its preserves is not possible. 196055 5946433 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 39 0 1 9 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 9 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 X X Mary Anne Piacentini 7135236135 5615 Kirby Drive Ste 867 Houston TX 77005 Darryl Anderson Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Paige Navarro Vice Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Iris Poteet Secretary 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Sam Hix Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Foster Carter Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Huffmaster Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Klein Chairman Emeritus 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Juliana de Vasconcellos Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Forest Wylie Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Anne Piacentini President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X 165000 0 3300 Elisa Donovan VP & General Counsel 40.00 0.00 X 101500 0 12221 266500 0 15521 2 0 1 0 0 194189 7258837 4471850 7453026 Warren Ranch income 110000 283922 283922 Stream Mitigation fees 110000 223455 223455 507377 3823 3823 6854 6854 145950 0 145950 145950 145950 2926715 0 2926715 2926715 2926715 11043745 507377 0 3083342 168300 119493 38709 10098 334475 204515 66421 63539 6801 4384 1421 996 37360 24077 7811 5472 37877 24410 7920 5547 13008 13008 99255 99255 5800 5800 7678 7678 166839 165360 970 509 37578 31369 3085 3124 101464 76210 15152 10102 1978 1978 2566 2495 21 50 183893 183893 105994 99706 6288 23878 16658 4332 2888 Conservation expenses 4471850 4471850 Ranching expenses 291428 291428 Restoration, irrigation 165025 165025 Permits and fees 34199 30889 934 2376 30853 13885 12726 4242 6328099 5946433 272723 108943 1531305 3073583 980618 409678 144724 105124 651014 20000 10970 16485 33818503 1253583 31023250 32564920 438398 548959 1082285 1928674 35862564 38667423 270517 221762 198475 8034048 5731857 93083 0 8397648 6152094 X 17922694 21833484 9542222 10681845 27464916 32515329 35862564 38667423 4715646 334767 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 1569133 3131425 1197755 3910515 7453026 17261854 1569133 3131425 1197755 3910515 7453026 17261854 1362104 15899750 123760 148912 134445 139328 156627 703072 17964926 3730387 0.88500 0.71310 X Part VI For 2017 and 2019, CPC has elected to treat contributions of conservation easements as unusual grants per Regulation 1.509(a)-3(c)(3-4). 2017 amount: $5,850,000 2019 amount: $2,687,705 Total: $8,537,705 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 5800 0 0 5800 0 Part II-B, Line 1: CPC advocated for the passage of the Recovering America's Wildlife Act and the Conservation Easement Integrity Act.
