Serving as a voice for native plants, we published 3 issues of our flagship journal, Douglasia. We co-hosted an intensive 3-day Grasses education workshop, hosted 130 members at a sold-out Annual Study Weekend in northeast Washington, and partnered with the University of Washington Herbarium at the Burke Museum to offer a weekends worth of field trips, workshops, and programs at Botany Washington in Leavenworth. Statewide, our chapters offered 9 native plant sales, 61 speaker programs, and 105 field trips. 74852 Native Plant Stewardship Program: The Native Plant Stewardship Program trains volunteers so they have the knowledge and abilities to complete native plant restoration projects in their communities. In 2017, we partnered with the City of Shoreline to train 25 new stewards, who received 100 hours of classroom and field experience. Working with the Green Seattle Partnership, we offered existing stewards a continuing education program. Expanding our geographical reach, we piloted 30-hour stewardship programs in Wenatchee (focused on shrub-steppe ecosystems) and Bellingham (focused on shoreline and lowland Puget Sound forest ecosystems). 17915 17915 Native Plant Grants Program: The standing committees of the Washington Native Plant Society award grants annually in conservation, education, and research and plant inventory. Several chapters award grants in their local areas as well. In 2017, as in previous years, applications for these grants exceeded available funds. Near Burien, local students and community members worked together to restore a neighborhood pond. In Pasco, a sagebrush restoration project took 4th and 5th graders out in the field. On the Olympic Peninsula, a grant helped continue coastal plant conservation work. We continued supporting the revision of the "Flora of the Pacific Northwest" with grants to the University of Washington Herbarium at the Burke Museum 211360 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false false true 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 false true 12 0 true 3 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 26 26 false false false false false true true true true false true true true true true true true true false false false X Julie Russillo 2063672744 6310 NE 74th St 215E Seattle WA 98033 Don Schaechtel President 7.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Van Bobbitt Vice President 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Rob Smith Treasurer 8.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Sam Payne Secretary 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Clay Antieau Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Keyna Bugner Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lori Hubbart Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Kiesau Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rory Denovan Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Turner Director 2.00 0.00 X 600 0 0 Sarah Verlinde Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chrys Bertolotto Chapter Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cathy Reed Chapter Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Janelle Downs Chapter Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Abe Lloyd Chapter Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Suzanne Schwab Chapter Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Therese Ohlson Chapter Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ann Weinmann Chapter Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Fred Weinmann Chapter Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brenda Cunningham Chapter Chair 2.00 0.00 X 3600 0 0 Jane Wentworth Chapter Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Brookreson Chapter Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Don Hardin Chapter Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Becky Chaney Conservation Ch 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Fayla Schwartz Education Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Pam Camp Research Chair 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Denise Mahnke Business Mgr 32.00 0.00 X 44583 0 0 48783 0 false false false 0 43019 277071 33 320090 Workshops & Study Events 611710 36683 36683 36683 3607 3607 0 0 0 0 0 0 97003 33775 63228 63228 0 423608 36683 66835 0 17915 17915 0 0 48783 24708 18725 5350 0 21124 13134 6236 1754 0 0 5599 3031 1999 569 0 0 12805 12805 0 0 0 8574 8074 500 0 0 4977 2403 2123 451 0 10485 7614 2268 603 1162 759 337 66 0 0 0 0 1786 967 638 181 4568 4568 Contract Reimbursable Expenses 74852 74852 Printing and Publications 17799 14235 132 3432 Botany Washington 16797 16797 Educational Workshops & Study 12335 12335 27577 14536 8191 4850 287138 211360 58022 17756 161573 194787 114137 80147 0 2821 147363 0 0 0 0 2456 1305 19448 18091 3143 1357 144097 164117 0 0 0 0 428227 589076 13821 21345 13821 21345 X 192412 363659 102879 81156 119115 122916 414406 567731 428227 589076 136470 16855 X false true X false false X 143227 168926 150990 135721 180065 778929 0 0 143227 168926 150990 135721 180065 778929 0 778929 2260 2596 2912 3404 3607 14779 0 41050 33797 36683 111530 905238 0.86050 0.88830 X 144731 3801 20020 5780 162772 134927 3671 11613 5480 144731 135943 4601 821 6438 134927 123686 3854 11703 3300 135943 93442 13547 16697 123686 0.75500 0.24500 false false false 16845 15488 1357 2603 2603 1357 447841 16855 7378 24233 423608 423608 294516 7378 7378 287138 287138 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
