Together with the City of Santa Rosa, LandPaths operates an innovative farm-based park, Bayer Neighborhood Park and Gardens. LandPaths owns and manages an additional 2,000 acres of Sonoma County land, including the 48-acre "Grove of Old Trees," one of the only privately held, publicly accessible parks in California, and Rancho Mark West, a historic ranch located along Mark West Creek, an important salmonid-bearing tributary to the Russian River; Riddell Preserve, 400 acres of rolling hills and oak and madrone woodlands, and Ocean Song and Bohemia Ecological Preserves outside Occidental, a combined 950 acres including rare and endangered plants associated with serpentine soils. These sites serve as anchor properties for our outdoor education programs and provide opportunities to bring the community together, balancing conservation efforts, public access, education and land stewardship. 361582 Rooting Youth in Nature: Youth ProgramsLandpaths Rooting Youth in Nature initiative provides Sonoma County youth, with school, after-school and summer programs, including In Our Own Back Yard, Inspired Forward, Owl Camp, and Backpacking Basics. All of these are interactive, field-based programs with multiple full-day field trips and high mentor/student ratios, and seek to engage underserved youth. In Our Own Back Yard school participation criteria include eligibility for the federal free and reduced priced meals program. Inspired Forward partners with gang prevention organizations to support local teens. And at least 1/3 of summer campers attend on scholarship. In total, these programs serve approximately 1,080 youth annually, logging over 23,000 student hours outdoors. 345719 New Audiences: Branching Out Conservation to EveryoneLandPaths Branching Out initiative expands the base of people engaged in conservation by creating accessible programs that make it easy for all to participate. At its core, this initiative expands who is engaged with conservation and what conservation looks like. For instance, our free daytrips, or Outings, offer broadly themed outdoor events and activities, from growing food at our farm-based park to star gazing parties at a remote historic ranch. LandPaths' Spanish language Vamos Afuera program ensures these outings are available to a broader audience. Our place-based community gardens further engage and urban and primarily low-income community with culturally and linguistically relevant programming located close to home, engaging people in enjoying and tending to the gardens. 134083 1359221 true true false false false false true false false false true false false true false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 true 36 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 6 6 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X Sheridan Rapolla 7075447284 618 Fourth Street santa rosa CA 95404 Craig Anderson Executive Direc 40.00 0.00 X 133588 0 0 Beth Wyatt Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tim Choate Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Craig Hazel Vice President 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Ellis Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Shaw Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Power Secretary 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 133588 1 false false false 0 963588 7650852 8614440 Miscellaneous Revenue 13189 13189 Program Fees 108770 108770 121959 72224 72224 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8808623 121959 72224 0 0 0 0 133588 93229 33405 6954 0 890858 713591 166916 10351 0 138325 107533 26928 3864 84257 68528 14223 1506 0 0 0 0 0 0 79874 37164 40283 2427 0 16168 5508 8864 1796 0 0 38073 777 37296 0 0 0 0 0 69653 46785 22868 16550 2626 13924 Program expenses 70493 65018 5475 TRAVEL AND Conferences 35124 31314 3617 193 Other operating expenses 24530 17133 6209 1188 telecommunications 13219 1125 12094 9317 168890 -164285 4712 1620029 1359221 222342 38466 202249 1255152 78440 2982058 10500 0 108485 92030 0 0 0 0 86535 111183 10336430 248546 6855381 10087884 0 0 0 0 2116501 2359251 9458091 16887558 161027 138692 66313 88048 200000 227340 426740 X 3235312 4096742 5995439 12364076 9230751 16460818 9458091 16887558 7188594 73341 -31868 X false true X true false X 1151374 1745210 1573172 1316712 8614440 14400908 0 0 1151374 1745210 1573172 1316712 8614440 14400908 0 14400908 24673 55622 22375 50137 72224 225031 0 0 14625939 0.98460 0.96970 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X false false 6417755 6417755 3698964 121452 3577512 219711 127094 92617 10087884 2359251 X 8850096 73341 73341 8776755 31868 31868 8808623 1620029 1620029 1620029 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
