Desc	Community Trails - In FY16, GVLTs Community Trails Program continued with itsmission to connect people, communities, and the land through collaborative trail projects. In our 26-year history, GVLT has helped create over 80 miles of trail. This year we upgraded Snowfill Recreation Area with 10 new parking spots, a second entry gate, bike racks, and a vault toilet; installed a new custom-designed bridge at the entrance to Peets Hill, Bozemans flagship park; built a mile of new trail, including an off-leash dog area in the newly expanded Bozeman Pond Park and also funded, designed, and constructed a natural playground; installed creative dog waste signage at 26 locations; and coordinated the Trail Ambassador program with 10 partner organizations to use volunteer trail ambassadors foreducation and outreach with over 2,000 trail users.

Desc	Land Conservation GVLT furthered its mission to conserve working farms andranches, wildlife habitat, and river corridors in the Gallatin Valley in FY16. We collaborated with three families to conserve 1,939 acres of land in Gallatin County. These projects included critical wildlife habitat, 5th generation farmland, and highly visible scenic open space just north of Bozeman. This brings our total conserved land to over 45,000 acres in 100 conservation easements. We visit each of these conservation easements and landowners annually to provide stewardship support and monitoring to those properties. In FY16, we assisted 19 stewardship enhancement projects on the ground, worth a total of $6,800 to enhance forest health, control noxious weeds, and plant streamside and wetland vegetation.	Desc

Desc	Education The GVLT website is updated monthly with current news relating tocommunity trails, private land conservation and events open to the public. Our website also hosts a transparency section with our Audit, annual report, and Form 990. We communicate with over 10,000 community members through a monthly electronic newsletter and social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. In FY16 we had 908 volunteers give over 2,900 hours for the organization, and all volunteers are educated about the mission and accomplishments of GVLT during their service. The free Discovery Walks program guided 345 people to learn about GVLT, the trails, and interesting topics like wildflowers, birds, yoga and more. The new TrailsRX program collaborated with local physicians to write over 60 trail walk prescriptions for patients.	Desc
