Also during the year, the Nethermead Arch restoration was completed. 1482525 0 46315 Field Operations and Woodlands: Prospect Park Alliance partners with the City of New York Department of Parks & Recreation in caring for the natural environment within the Park. The Aboriculture crew cares for the roughly 40,000 trees of Prospect Park, which include almost 150 species and make up Brooklyn's only forest. The Park provides priceless natural habitat for wildlife and Park visitors as well as a much-neede migration stop for thousands of birds. (Prospect Park has been designated an Important Bird Area by the National Audubon Society.) The Park's 250 acres of natural areas are maintained and monitored year-round by the Alliance's Natural Resources Crew, which works with volunteers and the Woodlands Youth Crew to restore new sections in the Park designated as natural areas. The Natural Resources Crew also engages youth through its work with both the Woodlands Youth Crew and the Brooklyn Academy of Science and the Environment. During fiscal year 2012, 492 trees were pruned, 1,466 trees, 8,210 herbaceous plants, and 3,349 shrubs were planted, and 122,760 square feet of turf were restored. The Alliance provides maintenance staff at the Parade Ground, which was renovated and restored with public funds. 1046941 0 139350 Prospect Park Alliance offers educational programs to schools and to the public, teaching visitors about the natural world and its stewardship, helping to support the Alliance's mission to maintain the Park as a resource for New York City, especially those New Yorkers from underserved and low to mid-income neighborhoods. The Park's Audubon Center and Lefferts Historic House Museum provide important educational and cultural programming for both schools and the public. During fiscal year 2012, 78,643 people visited the Prospect Park Audubon Center and 45,263 people visited the Lefferts Historic House Museum. The total number of visitors to these two locations is slightly lower than the previous year. In addition, Prospect Park Alliance collaborates in a partnership with the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to support the Brooklyn Academy of Science and the Environment, a school now serving over 400 low-income students with graduation and Regents pass rates well above New York City averages. Prospect Park also has a very active Volunteer Corps that is made up of community members who donate their time and energy and are critical to the ongoing maintenance and restoration of the Park. Over 34,000 volunteers contributed many hours to the Park. 1046941 0 139350 10058649 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 60 0 308 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 X 35 34 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 NY X X X Prospect Park Alliance Inc James Snow Cdief Operating Officer and CFO 7189658951 95 Prospect Park West Brooklyn NY 112153709 Amy Klein Bender 2 X 0 0 0 Adrian Benepe 2 X 0 0 0 Emma Bloomberg 2 X 0 0 0 Andrew Birsh 2 X 0 0 0 Jane Cohan 2 X 0 0 0 William Coleman 2 X 0 0 0 Curtis Cravens 2 X 0 0 0 Fidel F Del Valle 2 X 0 0 0 Robert Doar 2 X 0 0 0 Jill Eisenstadt 2 X 0 0 0 Joseph Fishman 2 X 0 0 0 Lexy Funk 2 X 0 0 0 Sarah Gerstenzang 2 X 0 0 0 Richard T Greene Jr 2 X 0 0 0 Stephen K Hindy 2 X 0 0 0 Charles R Jacob III 2 X 0 0 0 Jorge Juantorena 2 X 0 0 0 Mark Justh 2 X 0 0 0 Susan Kath 2 X 0 0 0 Donald Kendall Jr 2 X 0 0 0 Andrew Kimball 2 X 0 0 0 Brad Lander 2 X 0 0 0 Grace Lyu-Volckhausen 2 X 0 0 0 David M Marcinek 2 X 0 0 0 Marty Markowitz 2 X 0 0 0 Rachel McPherson 2 X 0 0 0 William Pollard 2 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Ryan 2 X 0 0 0 Claude Trahan 2 X 0 0 0 Nadia Wallace 2 X 0 0 0 Gina Ingoglia Weiner 2 X 0 0 0 Iris Weinshall 2 X 0 0 0 Leslie L Beller 2 X X 0 0 0 Albert H Garner 2 X X 0 0 0 Mark A and Catherine Varous 2 X X 0 0 0 Emily Lloyd 40 X X 180077 0 0 Robyn Bellamy 40 X 113811 0 2276 James Snow 40 X 108835 0 13966 402723 0 16242 3 0 1 0 Ravine Construction Inc 149 Miles Avenue Staten Island NY 10308 Landscape restoration 2861014 Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects LLP 222 Central Park South New York NY 10019 Architecture 489016 Breeze National 31 Bay Street Brooklyn NY 11231 Building demolition - Rink 350460 Scharff Weisberg 36-36 33rd Street Long Island City NY 11106 Audio visual and lighting for fundraising events 155396 MD Courts 326 Piermont Road PO Box 539 Closter NJ 07624 Tennis court resurfacing and air structure maintenance 140613 8 5577 549591 425196 0 630421 4387037 167057 5997822 Visitor Services and Events 713990 3248522 3248522 0 0 Design and Construction 541320 337248 337248 0 0 Field Operations and Woodlands 712190 46315 46315 0 0 Education and Public Programs 712190 139350 139350 0 0 0 0 0 0 3771435 108838 0 0 108838 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 190877 0 190965 0 -88 0 -88 -88 0 0 184364 425196 344335 -159971 0 -159971 0 0 0 0 0 0 147034 57454 89580 89580 0 0 0 9807616 3860927 0 -51133 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 329174 119226 148526 61422 0 0 0 0 4031304 3042265 324669 664370 52056 32764 11620 7672 442066 315234 49169 77663 540303 385286 60095 94922 0 0 0 0 1650 0 1650 0 24350 0 24350 0 0 0 0 0 152065 152065 0 0 0 0 4540487 4362249 44635 133603 6046 5851 195 0 310721 87064 46336 177321 118959 15165 77274 26520 0 0 0 0 360659 360623 19 17 8871 6787 987 1097 0 0 0 0 14797 10953 873 2971 83755 83755 0 0 0 0 0 0 499739 482684 15898 1157 248774 215582 33192 Non-office supplies and equipment 291528 238465 38841 14222 Fees- license fees and other 225161 200687 90 24384 Food and entertainment - public events etc 56261 31934 9266 15061 148915 62075 15150 71690 12487641 10058649 902835 1526157 588192 641308 7653165 4878314 2747642 2623959 258896 431897 0 0 0 0 0 0 9455 9708 132529 131659 5497486 3417628 2433483 2079858 2498998 3040555 0 0 0 0 0 0 46624 47374 16368984 13884632 1521499 1860058 0 0 394457 414841 0 0 0 0 0 0 2273702 2032459 0 0 0 4189658 4307358 X 2256552 2356301 8176903 5420582 1745871 1800391 12179326 9577274 16368984 13884632 X -2680025 77973 X 0 1 1 X 0 X 5538119 5305795 5085394 7433504 5997822 29360634 0 0 0 0 0 0 1262120 792804 812466 724619 497842 4089851 6800239 6098599 5897860 8158123 6495664 33450485 3157683 30292802 111591 120123 80277 95062 108838 515891 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 33966376 20495204 0.89185 0.87657 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 40273 40273 10018376 10058649 652932 163233 0 0 661095 742578 654415 652932 2711020 4066530 41125 40432 41067 40273 162897 165274 185645 163604 163233 677756 1016634 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X X X 0 3547363 720000 168374 0 675181 0 3760556 3236915 0 520725 0 210277 0 3547363 2562936 374630 299349 0 0 0 3236915 3015042 100 -402206 0 50000 0 2562936 0.48 0.48 0.04 1 0 0 0 0 3728892 0 1960977 1767915 0 0 0 0 1768594 0 1456651 311943 0 0 0 0 2079858 9807616 12487641 -2680025 77973 0 0 0 0 77973 -2602052 10352406 77973 510043 0 57454 645470 9706936 0 100680 100680 9807616 12954458 510042 0 0 57454 567496 12386962 0 100679 100679 12487641 SchD_P03_S00_L01 Schedule D, Part III, Line 1 The Alliance maintains collections of historical reference materials and 18th and 19th century objects.
