We also hosted the Warren County Winterfest event, a family friendly winter festival to provide recreational opportunities with winter sports and help raise funds for the Salvation Army. We assisted with raising funds for the rehabilitation of a popular hiking trail which connects a campground at Chapman State Park with the North Country National Scenic Trail. We improved another hiking trail and installed an information kiosk in Erie Bluffs State Park. We also installed a scale model of the famous St Louis Gateway Arch and a self-service video kiost at the Warren County Visitors Bureau which will serve as a permanent monument to record the history of Warren, PA, being the Birthplace of the Gateway Arch. This new monument will tell the historic story and honor the 280 local laborers who fabricated the stainless steel sections which were shipped from Warren PA to St Louis, MO where they were assembled to form the Gateway Arch National Park. We also partnered with the Allegheny Outdoor Club to host a group of foreign refugees to visit and learn about our natural resources within our region to improve tourism opportunities and the local economy. 224590 0 0 Soil/Water Conservation - Worked to improve planning and installation of soil and water conservation practices to benefit water quality, control erosion, improve crop and forage production management, and improve nutrient management application by agricultural producers. We also provided technical assistance to land users interested in enrolling lands in the wetland reserve program to create additional wildlife habitat and improve water quality and quantity management. We hosted two educational field days for livestock producers to help them manage their grasslands more effectively to improve soil health and profitability of their farming operations. We began a project to evaluate water quality and develop a Coldwater Heritage Conservation Plan for Pithole Creek, a tributary of the Allegheny River, a federally designated National Recreation and Scenic River. We also provided one on one consultive assistance with livestock producers from a paid consultant and numerous educational presentations to help producers better understand management opportunities for private landowners to manage their lands better, protect the environment, improve water quality management, and increase economic returns from their lands. 21494 0 0 Economic development - We partnered with the Assoc. of Warm Season Grass Producers to conduct a marketing campaign that highlights the economic and environmental benefits from using warm season grass and how using these alternative crops adds to the sustainablity and profitablity of PA's farms and farm communities. Warm season grass performs better than traditionally used materials such as bedding straw or sawdust for example. The Assoc of Warm Season Grass Producers launched a marketing campaign throughout PA's farming community to educate and promote the many economic and environmental benefits of warm season grass usage, will help farmers begin using warm season grass in their farming operations, will develop a catalogue of growers and sellers in each county in PA, and will present the project's marketing results and grass producer's catalogue to the farm community. A second phase of this project is being developed to design and build a mobile poultry bedding processing machine that could be demonstrated and used on multiple farms for producers to harvest and produce retail packages of poultry bedding for small scale producers. We also served to assist the Toy Shoppe of Warren, PA senior citizen volunteers who produced 1400 handmade wooden toys and demonstrated them free of charge to disadvantaged families and children's service providers in our region. 2115 0 469 Project Grass Chapter Support - We provide technical assistance in support of carrying out an information and education program to promote the benefits of grazing management. 2115 0 469 259684 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 4 0 true 9 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 27 27 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true false false false PA X X Sherry Moore 8147261441 4000 Conewango Ave Warren PA 16365 X Jack Preston Chairman 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Joann McCready Treasurer 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Deb Frawley Secretary 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Lance Bowes Vice-Chair X X 0 0 0 Jim Mondok Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 George Freeman Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ronald Kerr Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Muir Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Weikert Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ernest Aharrah Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Basil Huffman Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Marilyn Black Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tom Schaffer Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Elliott Lengel Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 William Kodrich Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ed Heasley Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Francis Weiderspahn Jr Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ed Atwood Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tracy Crawford Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Linda King Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kathy Dahlkemper Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tom McClure Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Donna Zofcin Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Chip Abramovic Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cindy Morrison Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Heather Wilcox Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Burris Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 false false false 272176 26449 298625 Conservation assistance 110000 469 0 0 Tourism meetings 110000 0 0 0 469 5 0 5 299099 469 0 5 3562 3562 207614 192575 15039 0 19615 18035 1580 0 875 0 875 0 15726 11670 4056 0 350 150 200 0 351 0 351 0 194 0 194 0 1200 0 1200 0 12071 10767 1304 0 8476 8476 0 0 4679 2311 2368 0 Dues & subscriptions 1771 438 1333 0 Supplies 10941 10757 184 0 Printing 943 943 0 0 288368 259684 28684 0 50 50 23633 39830 28385 21658 32 6 24686 24686 0 0 52100 61544 1302 15 1302 15 X 24813 27012 25985 34517 50798 61529 52100 61544 10731 X X false false false X 0 421182 389631 455797 374739 298625 1939974 0 0 421182 389631 455797 374739 298625 1939974 0 1939974 29 13 8 7 5 62 0 0 1940036 51187 1.00000 1.00000 X 0 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 6566 6566 6566 6566 6566 6566 6566 6566 6566 6566 false false 0 0 24686 24686 0 0 true Pt VI, Line 11b Treasurer will review 990 before filed.
