Getting children out to explore nature has a powerful impact on their life. We are committed to reducing barriers so youth from all backgrounds can experience the power of being outside. WTA's Families Go Hiking e-newsletter helps inspire 67,000 subscribers with tips and trips to create safe and enjoyable outdoor adventures for the whole family. In addition, WTA provides training and resources to help teachers and youth leaders offer outdoor experiences in their communities. Last year, the pandemic meant we had to pause on most of our in-person events. However, this provided us the opportunity to reimage leadership and training and still managed to serve 60 organizations, supporting 775 outdoor experiences. We also opened a second gear lending library in the South Puget Sound, allowing us to serve more communities throughout the region. 725006 4677590 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 12 0 1 88 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 20 20 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X X Amanda Baker Director of Business Operations 2066251367 705 2nd Ave 300 Seattle WA 98104 Jennifer Faubion President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael Dunning Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Charlene Lieu Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Susan Queary VP, Board Development 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Matt Martinez VP, Philanthropy 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Ashley Fontaine VP, Advocacy 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Ken Myer Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ethan Evans Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas Goldstein Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph Gregg Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ken Helm Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Britt Provost through 1021 Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Bruce Burger through 921 Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Titti Ringstrom through 921 Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Arun Sambataro Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Surapisitchat Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mason White through 921 Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Trina Baker from 921 Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Todd Dunnfield from 921 Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sully Moreno from 921 Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jill Simmons Executive Director 40.00 X 154067 0 20349 Jaime Loucky Chief Impact Officer 40.00 X 132593 0 18524 286660 0 38873 2 0 1 0 0 42961 15927 437159 5910306 66399 6406353 Trail maintenance 110000 1470446 1470446 Magazine sales 511120 1045 1045 1471491 210619 210619 47027 3000 17989 0 29038 3000 32038 32038 Advertising 541800 726 726 726 8121227 1471491 726 242657 174416 138487 27002 8927 3404723 2703354 527104 174265 81570 64767 12628 4175 314220 249491 48646 16083 341328 271015 52843 17470 65485 40230 680 24575 18600 18600 36000 36000 138672 1217 28429 109026 308243 214531 79883 13829 8724 3775 4949 95268 84269 6746 4253 307614 235535 28997 43082 345583 274393 53502 17688 77616 76592 281 743 59402 56190 2492 720 34998 31615 2625 758 Printing & Publications 109549 57984 51565 Trailwork Supplies 105294 105294 Volunteer Appreciation 54498 32851 2538 19109 Other Fundraising fees 21376 21376 6103179 4677590 892996 532593 263244 645218 2423023 2076775 54351 1197500 223036 861271 67379 72567 828350 694658 123657 133692 2592150 2927312 3798406 4346724 9545246 12261059 413477 507993 13750 10000 52787 38391 480014 556384 X 5199490 6226738 3865742 5477937 9065232 11704675 9545246 12261059 X 2018048 176771 444624 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 4754545 3715264 3955148 5892180 6406353 24723490 17400 17400 17400 52200 4754545 3715264 3972548 5909580 6423753 24775690 1752376 23023314 92245 163865 171289 184683 210619 822701 10640 10047 6232 887 726 28532 537 537 25627460 4100841 0.89840 0.86840 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10, Explanation of Other Income: Miscellaneous - 2020 Amount: $ 537.

WTA mobilizes its community of members, volunteers, and online constituents to explore, steward and champion Washington state's trails and public lands through communications, engagement, trail maintenance, advocacy, partnerships, and leadership development. Form 990, Part III, Line 4a, Program Service Accomplishments: Communications: WTA is the go-to source for hiking and trail information in Washington, giving people the information they need to explore Washington's natural wonders. Last year, we helped 5.5 million people find where to go and guided them on how to adventure safely and smartly during these uncertain times. We believe that people will protect the places they love to hike, from local parks to remote landscapes. Whether it is information on trail conditions or hiker etiquette to policy issues facing our public lands, WTA.org and our printed resources provide hikers with everything they need to be safe, smart, and engaged explorers and champions of our trails. WTA fosters a welcoming and inclusive community of hikers via our website, social channels, and in-person events. WTA brings together hiking experts and local knowledge to create a depth of understanding about trails and related issues in Washington to help hikers shape the future of our public lands. More than 6,500 hikers provided 20,800 trip reports in 2021. Those reports not only provided current trail conditions to the public but helped land management agencies understand where people are going and what types of experiences they are looking for on a hike. Form 990, Part III, Line 4b, Program Service Accomplishments: Advocacy: WTA believes that people will protect the places they love to hike, from local parks to remote wilderness. We are committed to turning hikers into champions for trails and public lands through grassroots advocacy. WTA works closely with federal and state policymakers to advance hikers' interests in forest planning, trail funding, wilderness protection, and new recreation projects. In 2021, the desire to get outside continued to surge as more people went out in search of recreation and restoration. WTA continues to work with our partners at the state and federal levels to address concerns facing our public lands during this public health crisis. These efforts helped inspire two national movements, #RecreateResponsibly and Trails are Common Ground. WTA also advocated for funding for National Forest and Parks, participated in trail and recreation planning efforts around the state, and empowered more than 67,000 individuals to take action for trails using its online Trail Action Network. Form 990, Part III, Line 4c, Program Service Accomplishments: Trail Maintenance: Our volunteer trail maintenance program is among the largest in the nation. Despite the ongoing challenges from COVID-19, we were able to safely bring out more than 3,000 volunteers and contribute 128,000 hours of labor to our public lands. WTA worked on more than 300 trails statewide last year, including in national parks, national forests, and on a variety of state and county lands. These efforts not only help address the serious maintenance backlogs facing state and federal agencies, they also provide WTA with on-the-ground expertise and sweat equity to help shape decision-making on recreation and public lands issues. Working in collaboration with other community organizations, WTA's trail maintenance approach demonstrates what investments are necessary to create a trail system that can stand the test of time and provide a variety of quality hiking experiences.
