THESE INTACT PUBLIC LANDS OFFER KEY HABITAT FOR NUMEROUS FISH AND WILDLIFE SPECIES, INCLUDING WILD TROUT AND SALMON, UPLAND GAME BIRDS, MULE DEER, ELK, PRONGHORN AND WILD SHEEP. DESPITE THEIR IMPORTANCE, HOWEVER, THESE PLACES AND THE RESOURCES THEY SUSTAIN ARE FACING MOUNTING DEVELOPMENT PRESSURES ACROSS THE WEST FROM TRADITIONAL AND RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT, TRANSMISSION CORRIDORS AND POORLY MANAGED OFF-ROAD VEHICLE USE. THESE ISSUES FORM THE CORE OF THE TRCP'S CENTER FOR WESTERN LANDS. THE TRCP'S BACKCOUNTRY WORKING GROUP IS WORKING WITH INDIVIDUAL SPORTSMEN, LOCAL GROUPS AND BUSINESSES, WESTERN GOVERNORS AND NATIONAL DECISION MAKERS TO ENSURE THAT SPORTSMEN'S PRIORITIES ARE CONSIDERED AS THE FUTURE CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT OF OUR BACKCOUNTRY AREAS ARE DETERMINED. CENTER FOR AGRICULTURAL AND PRIVATE LANDS (CAL): THE TRCP CENTER FOR AGRICULTURAL AND PRIVATE LANDS ACTIVELY ENGAGES WITH OUR PARTNERS AND POLICYMAKERS TO CONSERVE IMPORTANT HABITAT, SUSTAIN FISH AND WILDLIFE AND SECURE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SPORTSMEN TO ACCESS AND ENJOY THESE QUINTESSENTIALLY AMERICAN LANDSCAPES THROUGH ENGAGEMENT ON U.S. AGRICULTURAL AND OTHER PRIVATE LANDS POLICIES.EFFORTS TO PASS A NEW FARM BILL IN 2013 WERE SLOWED BY BUDGETARY RESTRICTIONS AND HYPER-SENSITIVE POLITICAL GAMESMANSHIP. HOWEVER, INCREMENTAL PROGRESS WAS MADE IN EDUCATING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AROUND KEY PRIORITIES FOR THE SPORTSMEN AND CONSERVATION COMMUNITY. THE TRCP HELPED BROKER A LANDMARK COMPROMISE WITH ORGANIZATIONS FROM COMMODITY AGRICULTURE REGARDING RE-LINKING OF CONSERVATION COMPLIANCE TO FEDERAL CROP INSURANCE ELIGIBILITY. THIS, COUPLED WITH CREATION OF A NATIONAL SODSAVER POLICY TO CONSERVE NATIVE GRASSLANDS, BECAME THE CENTERPIECE PRIORITIES FOR THE TRCP AND OUR PARTNERS. ONCE PASSED, IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE POLICIES AND ENFORCEMENT OF CONSERVATION COMPLIANCE WILL BE THE KEY TO REALIZING THE BENEFITS OF THESE POLICIES. THE TRCP IS ALSO WORKING WITH PARTNER GROUPS, MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND HUNTERS AND ANGLERS ON THE GROUND TO ADVOCATE FOR AGRICULTURAL AND OTHER POLICIES THAT WILL SUSTAIN AND CONSERVE THE FISH AND WILDLIFE IN THE CHESAPEAKE BAY REGION. NOTABLY, WE ARE FOCUSED ON FEDERAL ACTION THAT REDUCES POLLUTION, COMBATS INVASIVE SPECIES AND INVESTS IN RESTORING HABITAT. CENTER FOR WATER RESOURCES (CWR): THE TRCP ESTABLISHED A NEW POLICY CENTER IN 2013 TO COMPREHENSIVELY ADDRESS THE CONSERVATION CHALLENGES AROUND BOTH WATER QUALITY AND WATER QUANTITY ISSUES. IN TACKLING WATER QUALITY, THE TRCP CONTINUES TO ORGANIZE A COALITION OF SPORTSMAN ORGANIZATIONS ON OUR WETLANDS AND CLEAN WATER WORKING GROUP TO EDUCATE AND GENERATE SUPPORT FOR RESTORING PROTECTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN LOST FOR OUR NATION'S WETLANDS, STREAMS, LAKES AND HEADWATERS. WHILE LEGISLATIVE ACTION IS REQUIRED TO PERMANENTLY FIX THIS PROBLEM, WE ALSO SEEK MEANINGFUL ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS THAT CAN PROVIDE GUIDANCE AS TO EXACTLY WHAT WATERS ARE PROTECTED. AFTER NUMEROUS MEETINGS WITH THE EPA AND ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS, IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT A NEW RULEMAKING ANNOUNCEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE IN EARLY 2014. THE TRCP AND OUR PARTNERS WILL ENGAGE ACTIVELY IN SUPPORTING THAT PROCESS AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION.THE TRCP IS ADDRESSING WATER QUANTITY AND USE ISSUES THROUGH FORMATION OF A BRAND NEW WORKING GROUP AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEW CONSERVATION PRIORITIES. AMERICA'S WATER RESOURCES FACE MYRIAD CHALLENGES: MITIGATING THE EFFECTS OF DROUGHTS AND FLOODS, BRINGING INTO BALANCE AREAS WHERE DEMAND FOR WATER OUTPACES AVAILABLE SUPPLIES, RESTORING AQUATIC HABITATS AND IMPAIRED WATERSHEDS, AND RETHINKING WATER PROJECTS THAT THREATEN SPECIES SURVIVAL. THEREFORE, SMART WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IS CRITICAL TO KEEP OUR FAVORITE HUNTING AND FISHING SPOTS VIBRANT.CENTER FOR MARINE FISHERIES (CMF): THE TRCP CENTER FOR MARINE FISHERIES HAS TAKEN A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THE EFFORTS TO ENSURE THE LONG-TERM HEALTH OF OUR OCEAN RESOURCES AND THE SPORTING TRADITIONS THAT RELY ON OUR MARINE FISHERIES. THE CMF ALSO IDENTIFIES AND ENGAGES IN ISSUES THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO MARINE RECREATIONAL ANGLERS AND WORKS WITH TRCP PARTNERS TO BRING SPORTSMEN'S VOICES TO THE POLICY DISCUSSION (E.G., GULF OIL SPILL RECOVERY, FEDERAL MANAGEMENT OF RECREATIONAL FISHERIES, ETC.). IN 2013, THE TRCP AND OUR PARTNERS INITIATED AND DEVELOPED TWO FIRST OF ITS KIND REPORT AND CORRESPONDING RECOMMENDATIONS. FIRST, THE TRCP WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE SPORTFISHING COMMUNITY IN THE GULF REGION TO CONVENE WORKSHOPS IN ALL FIVE GULF OF MEXICO STATES AND DISCUSS PRIORITY PROJECTS THAT WILL IMPROVE RECREATIONAL FISHING HABITAT AND ACCESS IN THE WAKE OF THE 2010 DEEPWATER HORIZON OIL SPILL. AS HABITAT AND ECONOMIC RESTORATION DOLLARS FROM SPILL SETTLEMENTS BEGIN MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE GULF, THE TRCP AND ITS PARTNERS ARE WORKING TO ENSURE THE NEEDS OF THE REGION'S ECONOMICALLY AND CULTURALLY-VITAL RECREATIONAL FISHING COMMUNITY ARE FAIRLY ADDRESSED.ADDITIONALLY, THE TRCP WORKED CLOSELY WITH ITS SPORTFISHING PARTNERS TO CONVENE A PANEL OF FISHERIES BIOLOGISTS, ECONOMISTS, CONSERVATIONISTS AND MANAGERS TO DISCUSS THE MOST PRESSING SPORTSMEN-RELATED FISHERIES MANAGEMENT ISSUES AS CONGRESS WORKS TOWARD THE REAUTHORIZATION OF THE MAGNUSSON-STEVENS FISHERY CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT ACT, WHICH GOVERNS THE NATION'S MARINE FISHERIES. THE RESULTING RECOMMENDATIONS SEEK TO IMPROVE MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND PRODUCE THE FULL RANGE OF CONSERVATION, ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL BENEFITS THAT SALTWATER RECREATIONAL FISHING PROVIDES.CENTER FOR RESPONSIBLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT (CRED): THE TRCP CENTER FOR RESPONSIBLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES TO ADVOCATE PUBLIC-LANDS ENERGY DEVELOPMENT THAT PROTECTS VALUABLE FISH AND WILDLIFE HABITAT AND MAINTAINS STATE WILDLIFE POPULATION GOALS. THE TRCP HAS WORKED DILIGENTLY TO REFORM THE FEDERAL PROCESS GUIDING PUBLIC-LANDS ENERGY DEVELOPMENT AND TAKES A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO EXAMINING AMERICA'S NATIONAL ENERGY POLICY. WE ARE CURRENTLY PRESSING FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR LEASE REFORMS AND MASTER LEASE PLANNING THAT INCORPORATES PLANNING COMPONENTS AND MITIGATION AT BROAD LANDSCAPE-SCALES.THE TRCP'S APPROACH TO ENERGY DEVELOPMENT IS GUIDED BY A TEAM OF BIOLOGISTS AND EXPERTS KNOWN AS THE TRCP FISH, WILDLIFE AND ENERGY WORKING GROUP. THE FWEWG DEVELOPED A SET OF PRINCIPLES - FACTS FOR FISH AND WILDLIFE - THAT CALL ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND ENERGY INDUSTRY TO ADDRESS FUNDING, ACCOUNTABILITY, COORDINATION, TRANSPARENCY AND SCIENCE WHEN MAKING DECISIONS ON WHETHER AND HOW TO ALLOW ENERGY DEVELOPMENT ON LANDS THAT CONTAIN VALUABLE FISH AND WILDLIFE RESOURCES. THESE PRINCIPLES ARE INFORMING OUR WORK WITH A PRIVATE RANCH (THE HIGH LONESOME RANCH) TO DEVELOP A "WORKING MODEL" TO ILLUSTRATE HOW LANDOWNERS MIGHT BALANCE EXTRACTION OF ENERGY RESOURCES WITH CONSERVATION PRIORITIES FOR FISH AND WILDLIFE.THE TRCP IS ALSO A LEADER OF THE COALITION SPORTSMEN FOR RESPONSIBLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT, A CAMPAIGN AIMED AT COORDINATING THE CONSERVATION COMMUNITY AS WE WORK TO STRIKE A BALANCE BETWEEN ENERGY DEVELOPMENT AND CONSERVATION IN THE WEST. THE TRCP SHOWS STRONG SUPPORT FOR RESPONSIBLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT BUT WANTS TO ENSURE IT IS DONE IN A WAY THAT SUSTAINS AND CONSERVES NATURAL RESOURCES FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.CONSERVATION FUNDING: THE TRCP HELPS LEAD A COALITION OF SPORTSMEN AND CONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONS ON THE CROSS-CUTTING ISSUE OF CONSERVATION FUNDING. IN RECENT YEARS, THE BUDGET DEFICIT HAS TAKEN CENTER STAGE WITH POLICY MAKERS, AND THE TREND TO CUT FEDERAL SPENDING HAS TAKEN A DRAMATIC AND DISPROPORTIONATE EFFECT ON CONSERVATION PROGRAMS SUPPORTED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. PROGRAMS THAT HELP CONSERVE INTACT HABITAT OR PROVIDE CLEAN WATER PROTECTIONS HAVE ALL BEEN TARGETED FOR LARGE CUTS OR ELIMINATION. THROUGH THE WORK WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY AND AMONG OTHER ALLIES WE HAVE SEEN SOME TURN AROUND IN RECENT BUDGET REQUESTS. WE CONTINUE TO PUSH FOR THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE FUNDING FOR PROGRAMS WITHIN THE VARIOUS AGENCIES AND EDUCATE POLICY MAKERS ABOUT DIRECT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THESE VITAL PROGRAMS, THEIR CONSERVATION BENEFITS AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE OUTDOOR-RECREATION ECONOMY. 3214400 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 30 0 1 27 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 24 24 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT FL GA IL KS KY ME MD MA MI MN MO NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X X X PIETER FOSBURGH 2026398727 1660 L STREET NW NO 208 WASHINGTON DC 20036 F WELDON BAIRD DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 JAMIE BAKER DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 JO ANN BAREFOOT DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 GEORGE COOPER DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 KATIE DISTLER ECKMAN DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 SID EVANS DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 MIKE FITZGERALD JR DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 JOHN GRIFFIN DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 FRANK HUGELMEYER DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 J MICHAEL NUSSMAN DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 KIRK OTEY DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 RON REGAN DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH STORER DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 RICH TRUMKA DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 PAUL R VAHLDIEK JR DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 HOWARD VINCENT DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 ERIC WASHBURN DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 ALAN WENTZ DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 SCOTT BLACKWELL DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 LESLIE KETNER DIRECTOR 0.50 X 0 0 0 PIETER FOSBURGH PRESIDENT/CEO 40.00 X 213048 0 20884 DAVID D PERKINS BOARD CHAIR 0.50 X 0 0 0 JAMES T MARTIN VICE CHAIR 0.50 X 0 0 0 JOHN DOERR TREASURER 1.00 X 0 0 0 CONNIE PARKER SECRETARY 1.00 X 0 0 0 213048 0 20884 1 0 1 0 0 36176 3733708 45101 3769884 3240 3240 8925 8925 0 0 175722 36176 94384 81338 81338 3854462 0 0 84578 X 233933 163752 23394 46787 1343881 1061919 135442 146520 39791 33911 1522 4358 152008 117064 18249 16695 112209 86840 12435 12934 24606 24606 743942 713422 19000 11520 48703 42456 70 6177 91910 48292 32237 11381 145008 74548 50479 19981 115059 115059 261331 204547 25791 30993 267743 208802 51350 7591 14004 14004 12565 12565 MEDIA SUMMIT 88804 88804 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 19358 12162 3366 3830 STATE REGISTRATIONS 10391 218 10173 OVERHEAD ALLOCATION 0 356884 -63431 -293453 1312 997 250 65 3726558 3214400 476606 35552 500 500 1097064 1469956 1310247 1281903 28413 43843 136901 96090 43771 40811 2479995 2837013 159270 388384 159270 388384 X 541575 465870 1779150 1982759 2320725 2448629 2479995 2837013 127904 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 4867445 2639397 3492677 3211961 3913996 18125476 4867445 2639397 3492677 3211961 3913996 18125476 5108315 13017161 8413 4723 3293 1610 3240 21279 26809 227 27036 18173791 62063 0.71630 0.75630 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 3730 357 3373 3730 3817569 3821299 341065 85266 0 0 291867 291025 316887 341065 1240844 1861266 20522 20568 7225 3730 52045 72967 72756 79222 85266 310211 465317 1422 8636 426 357 10841 106895 81201 25694 30006 14889 15117 40811 X 3948846 0 3948846 -94384 -94384 3854462 3820942 0 3820942 -94384 -94384 3726558 PART X, LINE 2: TRCP IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (IRC).
