DescriptionSee attached Schedule O - Horticulture and MaintenanceSummary and Accomplishments: The Conservancy is the designated steward of the Rose Kennedy Greenway, a new ribbon of contemporary urban parks in the heart of Boston. We are delivering on the promise of a vibrant, beautiful, innovative city park. In FY12, the Conservancy continued making improvements to the Greenway:- Made upgrades and additions to our gardens, while deepening our commitment to our cutting-edge organic landscape care- Kept the complex infrastructure - 5 water features, one of the largest free Wi-Fi networks in the state, acres of masonry - safe, clean, and operational without significant downtime - Significantly increased the free programming on the Greenway, and expanded the nationally recognized Greenway Mobile Eats Program- Deepened partnerships with community groups, non-profits, and cultural institutions, and increased our collaboration with volunteers- Created at the plaza in Chinatown Park another new gathering spot with tables, chairs, and umbrellas - Launched a temporary public art planning process that engaged experts and the communityHorticulture and Maintenance:We are making the Greenway more beautiful through attentive maintenance and important improvements in FY12. The Conservancy uses organic and sustainable landscape practices to both save costs and provide the healthiest possible environment for park users. The Greenway is Boston's only organically maintained public park and one of a handful of organically maintained urban parks in the United States. Organic maintenance means no expenditures for chemicals, and lower expenditures for watering. Plants are healthier, more resilient, and better able to withstand the wear of public use. The Conservancy's practice of not using herbicides and toxins also ensures that run-off from the parks will not pollute Boston Harbor or harm the delicate marine life. Children and pets can freely and safely play on our park lawns without the worry of pesticides.In FY12, we improved our organics program and our educational efforts for the public. We increased applications of our organic compost tea from 1,800 gallons in 2010 to 12,745 gallons in 2011. When a compost tea application is occurring, our staff now deploys new signs to educate the public. All of our vehicles are now equipped with "organic care" signs, and we did a limited roll-out of organic messaging on donated MBTA train car ads. Additionally, we added a new page on our website dedicated to our green efforts, including organic certifications, organic compost tea brewing, water resource management, green turf and weed management, and fuel efficiency. We also made major horticultural improvements to two of the most visible areas on the Greenway. At Dewey Square Park, a grant-supported renovation of the western garden bed added 1,488 new plants for a pollinator garden, a raised edible garden & outdoor classroom, a rain garden, and an urban composting demonstration area. The rain garden, which was built in partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency and Youth Build Boston, processes storm water naturally. Food harvested from the edible garden is being donated to hunger-relief organization Lovin' Spoonfuls. Pre-consumer scraps from one of our food trucks on the plaza are being picked up for the demonstration compost bins. Our youth workforce development program is partnering closely with our horticulture staff on the maintenance of the garden space.The Conservancy renovated the harborside planting bed at the Rings Fountain, one of the most popular places on the Greenway. The plantings there from the Central Artery/Tunnel Project design had not fared well, with bare patches and diseased trees. The 1,500 new plants are already bringing color, interest, and buffering from the traffic; additionally, the plant mixture will be simpler to maintain. The design is by Pat Cullina, who is nationally respected for his work at The High Line and Brooklyn Botanical Garden. The Horticulture staff also made numerous light touch throughout the park. This was the first full year of seasonal plant rotations in the 47 containers. We added 11,500 more bulbs. Following the court decision about the Occupy Boston encampment on Dewey Square Park, the Conservancy took quick action to restore the park to make it attractive, accessible and enjoyable by all. The entire area was re-graded to eliminate ruts and channels. Air spading addressed significant compaction in the soil, 60 cubic yards of organic compost and 50 cubic yards of loam were added. New sod was rolled out, dead trees removed and replaced with new trees, and improvements made to drainage and irrigation. Seasonal plantings and decorations were added.In FY12 the Maintenance department's full-time and seasonal staff responded to the daily and seasonal demands of running a clean, green, and safe park. This means consistent, efficient and responsive work practices, from emptying trashcans on a regular basis to fixing problems promptly. Routine maintenance of all structures and equipment includes environmentally safe products. The Conservancy's skilled and dedicated Maintenance workforce includes individuals with disabilities employed by WORK Inc. as well as the Boston teens and young adults from the Conservancy's Green and Grow youth workforce development program. And we welcome the help of volunteers, who provided 1,113 hours of assistance in 2011; the program has grown each year and volunteers love it-as evidenced by terrific feedback on the website Great Non-Profits. There is an in-park presence 16 hours per day, 365 days per year. Ongoing maintenance common to all districts of the Greenway included park electrical repairs such as light re-lamping and replacement of damaged or defective outlets, repairing and resealing of masonry pavement joints, graffiti removal and power washing of paved surfaces. Snow removal and application of deicer occurred as needed in what turned out to be a mild winter. Some park features are showing age and wear and tear. In the North End Parks, the Maintenance department replaced both automatic backwash valves and coordinated final programming of one of the controllers that was replaced. Repairs were made to a stone wall damaged by a car. At Rings fountain in the Wharf district, all 120 Pico lights were meticulously refurbished. Nearly half were inoperable prior to this work and all but two were restored to full operation. Also at Rings, several shooter valves were rebuilt and the filter pump was replaced. The Chinatown fountain had a mechanical failure that resulted in the equipment room flooding. Damage was not as severe as expected and the fountain was back in operation following two and a half weeks of repairs. A new sump pump was installed in the Harbor Fog vault. Many Rings fountain pavers were reset in what has become a continual effort.Other tasks that were completed by the Maintenance staff during FY 12 include: additional skate deterrents were installed in the North End and Wharf District; benches were repainted and skate deterrents were welded to them; installation of 2 new area drains to prevent ice buildup in the winter and undermining of adjacent pavements; installation of fall-protection grates in fountain vault hatches; repair/reinforcement of 20+ signs; and regrading of all stone dust paths.Description

DescriptionSee attached Schedule O - Public Activities - Programs and ArtPublic Activities - Programs and Art:The Conservancy has brought life, joy, and diversity of use into the park; from 2010 to 2011, patronage at park offerings increased 73%. The Greenway has hosted more free events every year: 201 in 2011 and nearly 300 expected in 2012. The rental carousel pilot drew nearly 100,000 paid riders in 2011, and usage of our free Wi-Fi network expanded to over 50,000 users. Increasingly, the Conservancy hosts, rather than produces, events. We host programs like ReadBoston in the North End Parks; "Films at the Gate" in Chinatown Park; Race Amity Day; 9/11 Service Day with the Massachusetts Military Heroes Fund; the Boston Public Market Association's farmers market; Greenway Open Market; FIGMENT participatory art festival; and the Summer on the Waterfront. We work with many diverse partners-North Bennett Street School in the North End, National Center for Race Amity, Chinatown Mainstreets, Sustainable Business Network, and many more. The Conservancy, across the water from the Innovation District, seeks to encourage progressive programming.We supplement hosted events with select produced events. We bring life and fun to the Greenway through the cold with our Winter Lights installations and opening events, such as a community celebration for Ice Chimes and a dance performance paired with Lighthouse at the Boston Harbor Islands Pavilion. Our Greenway Mobile Food Fest brought food trucks, carts, and bikes together with local bands, lawn games, and a tasting contest - the winner was tempura fiddlehead ferns; the day was profitable for the 21 small business owners. This year the Greenway Mobile Eats Program expanded further and drew national attention. The Seattle Times called the Greenway's trucks "some of the best in the country" and publications including Time Out New York and Travel+Leisure listed the program as a reason to visit Boston. Celebrity Chef Ming Tsai filmed an episode of his television show cooking on with multiple food vendors on the Greenway.Public art gives residents, workers, and tourists a reason to visit, linger, and discuss. In FY12, funded entirely with private donations, we launched a public art planning process; this process has been shaped by nationally recognized experts, local art institutions such as the Institute for Contemporary Art and the MFA, and the best-attended community meetings the Conservancy has ever held. We deepened our partnership with the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, adding an audio tour to the Urban Garden installation on the Greenway.The Greenway Gala is the Conservancy's annual fall fundraising event. In FY12, the Gala raised more money than in any previous year. Attended by 326 representatives from the business community, nonprofit community groups, corporations, foundations and individuals, the Gala provides the Conservancy an opportunity to say thank you to our supporters and provides a platform for sharing our current and future initiatives. Also, in FY12, a Board Development Committee was established for the first time.Description

DescriptionSee attached Schedule O - Green & Grow - youth workforce developmentGreen & Grow - youth workforce development: Green & Grow is the Conservancy's workforce development program that helps young Bostonians become effective and reliable employees through working and learning in an urban park. The 12-month program provides a pipeline to future studies/training or environmentally-focused jobs at the Conservancy or in the greater Boston community. It combines job readiness training with career exploration, environmental education, academic support, team-building, personal attention from mentors and attractive compensation.This year we graduated our third class of Green & Grow apprentices, who worked in the parks with the Park Operations staff, where they made great advances in job readiness, learned presentation skills, and were introduced to ideas like land management and horticulture practices. Highlights of their experience included on-the-job horticulture training and public presentations to other youth groups. In the summer, the Conservancy offers the 8-week Green and Grow internship program in which the participants gain on-the-job experience in both landscape maintenance and implementing programs and events for the public.Since the beginning of the program, 100% of program graduates have completed a successful transition by enrolling in higher education or gaining full or part-time jobs with employers like the National Park Service, Branching Out, MA Department of Conservation and Recreation, Emerald Necklace Conservancy, Save the Harbor Save the Bay, and the Greenway Conservancy's own park operations team. As a result of the G&G program's focus on academic success, of all the G&G graduates who were of high school age, 95% completed their high school education or got their GED. A recent independent evaluation done by RootCause favorably reviewed the G&G program, particularly the applied skill development.Description

DescriptionPlanning and Design:The Conservancy's P&D staff has spearheaded critical additions to the parks and is working on further improvements. P&D staff worked with the communities and our park operations staff to select the furniture and the signature umbrellas that now dot the Greenway. This effort continued with an installation in the plaza of Chinatown Park plaza that was marked by a community celebration. P&D is project managing the exciting custom carousel project. The installation of a permanent carousel on Boston's Greenway will fulfill a long-held dream of the City of Boston and the community dating to the planning of the Greenway. The hand-carved creatures of this magical, whimsical carousel will be inspired by the wildlife of Boston harbor and the original Shawmut peninsula, as well as the imaginations of Boston's children. This will be New England's only custom-designed carousel and only accessible carousel, and is destined to become an iconic Boston landmark. P&D is managing the Massachusetts artist and carousel craftsman who is sculpting the characters, along with the nationally recognized carousel fabricators. P&D is also project managing the consultant team designing that landscape, ticket booth, railing, and winter enclosure. More information on the project and the presentations from the four community meetings can be found on our website.Description

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7aPer Commonwealth law, and the Acts of 2008, certain members of the board of directors are appointed by designated individuals.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The finance department of the Conservancy completes the financial statements and provides a copy to the independent accounting firm. Once the audit is complete, the Director of Finance receives draft audited financial statements and tax returns from the Conservancy's independent accountant to review. The Executive Director, Director of Business Operations, and Director of Finance review the draft tax returns and financials, forwarding them along to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors for review and comment. A meeting is then set up with the independent accounting firm to review any questions that may have arisen. Once the Audit Committee and Conservancy approve the draft financial statement, the independent accountant provides an updated draft to the Director of Finance, who then forwards this document on to the entire board of directors for final approval.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe Conservancy's Board of Directors sign the conflict of interest policy yearly. Disclosures are filed with the Conservancy Audit Committee which reviews and reports to the Board of Directors.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15aThe Conservancy Board's Executive Committee recommends compensation for the Executive Director. In FY09 the Executive Committee, at the direction of the Board of Directors, hired an independent consultant to conduct an executive compensation survey to develop a recommendation for any changes to the Executive Director's salary. In summer of 2011, the Executive Committee reviewed comparable organizations and made recommendations about the Executive Director's compensation. In each case, the Executive Committee reported the findings to the Board, which then voted to approve a compensation package for the Executive Director. In spring 2012, the Board hired another independent consultant that conducted a compensation study for the evaluated the top two positions (Executive Director and Director of Business Operations). This study found that both positions are paid in the middle of the comparables range; the study is posted on our website with our 5-year business plan.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The Conservancy's governing documents, conflict of interest policy Form 990, Form PC and audited financial statements are available upon request and posted on the Conservancy's website.
