DescDC-Area Wild Plant Nursery:Propagation from the wild of about 320 plant species native to the greater Washington, DC, region for use in local ecological restoration projects. All stock is local ecotype (propagated directly from local wild native-plant populations). Our plants are used in our own projects and in those of other nonprofits, friends of groups, individual restorationists, and government agencies managing local parkland. During 2019, about 50,000 native trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants were distributed from the nursery to local forests, meadows, and maintained landscapes.Desc

DescTropical Agroforestry: Tree Bank Hispaniola ProgramOperation of a community tree nursery and associated forest-conservation and tree- planting programs on the Dominican side of a portion of the Dominican Republic Haiti border, to slow deforestation and help small-holder farmers increase their incomes. During 2019, 70 farms participated. The nursery produced about 65,000 orchard, timber, and local-ecotype native tree seedlings; 13 native species were represented, all of them probably in decline in the wild. Our Forest Credit program, in which our local independent partner organization (the Asociacin de Productores de Bosque, Los Cerezos) extends low-cost credit to small-holder farmers in exchange for forest conservation easements, lent $33,380 to 52 farms, in exchange for easements over about 318 acres of forest. (The easements are held by our Dominican partner organization.) Our 44.3-acre nature reserve, the regions only community-owned nature reserve, is protecting the headwaters of a village water supply. Our Rising Forests Coffee program is rehabilitating the regions shade-grown coffee, in the wake of the coffee leaf-rust epidemic of 2014-15; the epidemic killed virtually all of the regions coffee trees. Rising Forests is producing rust-resistant coffee trees for planting on local farms, as well as cocoa trees. Both coffee and cocoa are high-value crops that grow best under forest canopy, so our program is creating a powerful economic incentive to conserve forest, and we are continuing to restore additional patches of forest for underplanting with coffee and cocoa.Desc

DescDC-Area Forest Restoration:On-going work at the 20-acre Marie Butler Leven Preserve in Fairfax County, Virginia. During 2019, about 255 people volunteered 798 hours of their time to help suppress invasive alien vegetation in the parks 17-acre forest, and to restore native vegetation. We suppressed a wide range of invasives, including trees, shrubs, vines, and herbaceous species. Control efforts extended throughout most of the park but are far from complete. We also put in over 2,700 locally native plants, produced at our Wild Plant Nursery. About 335 of these were shrubs and trees; the remainder were herbaceous species.Desc

form 990, Statement on the Value of In-Kind DonationsDuring 2019, volunteers contributed approximately 10,000 hours of service to our Wild Plant Nursery and DC-area ecological restoration sites. We value this effort at $27.50 per hour, which is the current (2018) value of volunteer time for Virginia, as recognized by the Virginia Office on Volunteerism and Community Services (2018 is the most recent year for which a value was available). The total value of our 2019 volunteer effort was therefore $275,000.
