Desc	Land Conservation GVLT furthered its mission to conserve working farms and ranches, wildlife habitat, and river corridors in the Gallatin Valley. We identify strategic areas with high conservation values and work to conserve blocks of open land that protect special parts of the valley. We hold 106 conservation easements covering 47,592 acres. Our staff develop long-term relationships with landowners and visit each conservation easement annually to monitor their condition and provide stewardship resources such as to improve eroding streambanks, plant vegetation, and enhance floodplains. In FY19 we conserved 1,147 acres of land in the Gooch Hill and Churchill areas. We added a Project Manager to increase our land conservation capacity. GVLT received reaccreditation from the Land Trust Alliance, a mark of distinction and professionalism within the land trust community.	Desc

Desc	Community Trails - GVLTs Community Trails Program continued to connect people, communities, and the land through collaborative trail projects. In 29 years GVLT has helped create over 80 miles of trail. This year we built a connector trail from Painted Hills Trail to the Triple Tree Trail. This completes the vision of GVLTs founder, a trail connecting Bozemans Main Street to public land in the Gallatin Mountains. We also built a trail connecting the new Story Mill Community Park to Bond Street which allows for access from nearby businesses and the Gallatin Valley Food Bank. Our Trails staff worked on trail improvements and enhancements at Drinking Horse Trail, Triple Tree Trail, and the Highland Glen Trail. They worked with 39 volunteer groups to maintain community trails, updated 11 kiosk trail maps, installed a bike rack, and trained community members on trail etiquette.	Desc

Desc	Education GVLT shares monthly news with 15,000 supporters on community trails, private land conservation, and related public events. GVLT publishes audited financial statements, IRS Form 990, and an annual report on the website. The 21 young professionals on the NextGen Advisory Board educate and inspire their peers to volunteer and support GVLT. We joined local land use planning efforts to highlight trail systems and natural resource protection. GVLT printed Spanish trail maps to make trail information accessible to the Hispanic community. GVLT hosted 1,293 volunteers for 2,767 hours of service and educated them all on GVLTs mission and accomplishments. Free Discovery Walks hosted 400 people on 45 walks to learn about trails and local community themes. The Summer Trails Challenge engaged 2,000 community members to log 65,000 miles of trail use in three weeks.	Desc
