These tools focus conservation in areas that represent the regions biodiversity and support ecological function across the nearly 5 million acres that comprise the 10 Bay Area counties. Updated in November 2019, CLN 2.0 equips the Bay Area to respond to climate change, connect landscapes, and connect upland and bayland conservation.The CLN was launched in 2005 by the Bay Area Open Space Council and will continue with TOGETHER Bay Area in order to leverage data, tell stories, and make the case for resilient lands. Protecting: Protected Areas DatabaseWe have collaborated with GreenInfo Network for many years to develop a very detailed GIS database of protected areas in the 9 counties of SF Bay Area, Bay Area Protected Lands Database (BPAD). Each year we update the database with the latest acquisitions and easements and share the data, maps, and a summary of statistics.BPAD is developed in coordination with the California Protected Areas Database and the California Conservation Easement Database.Connecting: Outdoor VoiceWe are building a large and diverse constituency for land conservation. We will deepen the connection between Bay Area park users and the places they love by engaging them in ways to get involved. And we will strengthen the organizations and agencies that preserve and take care of the Bay Area.Advocacy for Transformational Funding and Policies: The goal of this program is to transform how we as a region create resilient lands and people in the face of climate change while working towards justice and equity. We convene a Policy Committee of our members and we take collective action. Convening a Powerful Coalition: The goal of this program is to build the relationships that support the environmental and social changes required for resilient lands and people. 371698 true true false 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 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 12 0 true 6 true false false false false false true true false false 0 false false false false false 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 true false CA X X Annie Burke 5108098009 2150 Allston Way 320 Berkeley CA 94704 Holly Potter President 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Noelle Thurlow Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Paul Ringgold Secretary 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Pat O'Brien Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Francie Mitchell Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tim Ramirez Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Annie Burke Interim ED 40.00 0.00 X 25000 0 0 Debra J Callahan Exec Director 40.00 0.00 X 117259 0 0 142259 1 false false false 0 3712 215678 219390 Contracts 138579 138579 Membership dues 167495 167495 306074 0 0 0 0 0 250 3712 2633 -2383 0 0 0 523081 306074 X 0 0 0 0 39375 27562 1680 10133 0 66375 46462 2831 17082 2075 1660 207 208 12219 9755 1245 1219 8864 7091 887 886 0 230 230 30287 30287 0 0 0 293334 247004 40211 6119 0 609 487 61 61 8033 6207 527 1299 0 21619 17295 2162 2162 2596 226 2280 90 0 4024 1319 2705 0 0 0 5486 4160 806 520 Computer Hardware/Software 1984 1486 162 336 Printing and Publications 993 795 99 99 Bank/Merchant Fees 832 832 Postage and Shipping 131 105 13 13 105 84 10 11 499171 371698 87235 40238 143728 136383 0 10000 0 36676 77091 0 0 0 0 38107 15638 0 0 0 0 0 1 228511 229113 3128 5604 23502 26630 5604 X 9816 107014 192065 116495 201881 223509 228511 229113 X 23910 -2282 X false false false X 417889 297896 713473 188320 219390 1836968 0 0 417889 297896 713473 188320 219390 1836968 564805 1272163 0 0 0 1836968 1211995 0.69250 0.63650 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 499171 499171 99834 24959 false 121904 127058 135865 99834 484661 726992 6460 11126 17586 30476 31765 33941 24959 121141 181712 300 2000 2300 523081 523081 523081 499171 499171 499171 Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process FORM 990 IS PREPARED BY AN OUTSIDE TAX PROFESSIONAL.
