| ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 | THE MISSION OF OPEN SPACE INSTITUTE, INC. (OSI) IS TO PROTECT SCENIC, NATURAL, AND HISTORIC LANDSCAPES THAT ENSURE PUBLIC ENJOYMENT, CONSERVE HABITATS, AND SUSTAIN COMMUNITY CHARACTER. OPEN SPACE CONSERVANCY, INC. (OSC) IS A SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION OF OPEN SPACE INSTITUTE, INC. OSI AND OSC ACHIEVE THEIR MISSIONS THROUGH FOUR PRINCIPAL PROGRAMS: 1. THE ACQUISITION PROGRAM UNDERTAKES THE DIRECT ACQUISITION OF LAND AND CONSERVATION EASEMENTS IN NEW YORK STATE AND PROVIDES GRANTS AND LOANS, PRIMARILY TO OTHER LAND TRUSTS, TO PROTECT DIVERSE LANDSCAPES INCLUDING PARKS, PRESERVES, WORKING FARMS AND FORESTS IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES. IN GENERAL, ALL ACQUISITIONS OF LAND AND CONSERVATION EASEMENTS, AND ALL GRANT AND LOAN TRANSACTIONS ARE HANDLED BY OSC. THE COMBINED OPERATING EXPENSES OF OSI AND OSC FOR THE ACQUISITION PROGRAM IN 2010 WERE $7,077,505. 2. THE STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM MANAGES ALL OF THE REAL PROPERTY OWNED BY OSI AND OSC. OSI AND OSC ALSO HAVE AN ACTIVE PROGRAM OF CONVEYING LANDS TO GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, AND LANDS TRUST WHICH ARE CAPABLE OF HOLDING AND MANAGING SUCH LANDS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THUS, OVER PAST YEARS OSI AND OSC HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY EXPANDED THE ADIRONDACK AND CATSKILL FOREST PRESERVES AND HAVE CREATED OR ENLARGED DOZENS OF STATE PARKS IN NEW YORK STATE. OSI AND OSC ALSO CONVEY PROPERTY TO PRIVATE CONSERVATION BUYERS SUBJECT TO STRINGENT CONSERVATION EASEMENTS DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE SCENIC BEAUTY AND ECOLOGICAL INTEGRITY OF THE PROPERTY. OSI ALSO MONITORS AND ENFORCES THE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS AND IT HOLDS, AND MANAGES AND SERVICES THE PORTOFOLIO OF LOANS AND GRANTS THAT IT HAS MADE. THE TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES FOR THE STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM IN 2010 BY OSI AND RELATED ENTITIES WERE $2,740,409. 3. THE PUBLIC POLICY PROGRAM INCLUDES CONSERVATION RESEARCH, THE OUTDOORS AMERICA CAMPAIGN (OAC), AND THE ALLIANCE FOR NEW YORK STATE PARKS (ALLIANCE). CONSERVATION RESEARCH CONDUCTS AND DISSEMINATES RESEARCH ON EFFICIENT WAYS TO BALANCE THOUGHTFUL REGULATION AND PERMANENT PROTECTION OF OPEN SPACES. OAC WORKS TO ACHIEVE FULL FUNDING FOR THE FEDERAL LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND. THE ALLIANCE WORKS FOR INCREASED GOVERNMENT FUNDING FOR THE NEW YORK STATE PARKS SYSTEM AND ALSO RAISES PRIVATE MONEY TO FUND NEEDED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. THE TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES OF OSI/OSC FOR THE PUBLIC POLICY PROGRAM IN 2010 WERE $1,949,216. 4. THE ENVIRONMENTAL PARTICIPATION & EDUCATION PROGRAM INCLUDES CITIZEN ACTION, THE MALCOLM GORDON CHARITABLE TRUST (MGCT), AND THE BARNABAS MCHENRY ENDOWMENT FUND. CITIZEN ACTION IS A FISCAL SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM FOR EMERGING LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS WITH MISSIONS THAT COMPLEMENT THAT OF OSI/OSC. MGCT PROVIDES ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION GRANTS. THE MCHENRY ENDOWMENT FUNDS THE BARNABAS MCHENRY HUDSON RIVER VALLEY AWARDS WHICH PAIR YOUNG ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERS WITH PROJECTS IN THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY. THE TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES OF OSI FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL PARTICIPATION & EDUCATION PROGRAM IN 2010 WERE $868,940. OSI/OSC'S FOUR PRINCIPAL PROGRAMS ARE DIRECTED BY A CONSISTENT OVERALL CONSERVATION STRATEGY THAT EMPHASIZES CONSERVATION ON A LANDSCAPE LEVEL. |
| ACQUISITION PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS | FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | A) LAND ACQUISITION IN NEW YORK STATE: OSI AND OSC'S LAND ACQUISITION PROGRAM PERMANENTLY PROTECTS OPEN SPACE AND NATURAL LANDS IN THREE PRINCIPAL REGIONS IN NEW YORK STATE - THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY, CATSKILLS, AND ADIRONDACKS - AND IS OPERATED THROUGH OSI AND ITS SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION OSC. THE SUBSTANTIAL MAJORITY OF THE LAND ACQUISITION PROGRAM IS CONDUCTED BY OSC. OPEN SPACE CONSERVANCY'S LAND PROGRAM PROTECTED 3,956 ACRES OF LAND IN 2010, AND SINCE ITS INCEPTION IT HAS PROTECTED MORE THAN 120,000 ACRES OF OPEN SPACE THROUGHOUT NEW YORK STATE. MUCH OF OSI'S AND OSC'S CONSERVATION WORK TAKES PLACE IN THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY IN NEW YORK STATE. THE UPPER HUDSON RIVER VALLEY IS COMPRISED OF THE CAPITAL DISTRICT IN ALBANY AND COLUMBIA, RENSSELAER, SARATOGA, AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES OF NEW YORK. TO DATE, OSC HAS PERMANENTLY PROTECTED MORE THAN 6,400 ACRES IN THIS AREA THROUGH DIRECT LAND ACQUISITIONS AND CONSERVATION EASEMENTS. IN 2010, OSC ACQUIRED THE TWO HISTORIC FARMS (THE LEISER FARM AND BATTLEVIEW FARM) IN COLUMBIA AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, RESPECTIVELY, PROTECTING HISTORIC VIEWS AND LANDS ALONG THE HUDSON RIVER AND THE KINDERHOOK CREEK. THE MIDDLE SECTION OF THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY INCLUDES GREENE, DUTCHESS, AND ULSTER COUNTIES IN NEW YORK. IN TOTAL, OSC HAS PROTECTED MORE THAN 17,000 ACRES IN THE MID-HUDSON RIVER VALLEY THROUGH DIRECT LAND ACQUISITIONS AND CONSERVATION EASEMENTS. OSC'S HIGHLIGHTED LAND PROTECTION INITIATIVES HERE INCLUDE THE SHAWANGUNK RIDGE WHERE THE ORGANIZATION HAS SIGNIFICANTLY EXPANDED THE MINNEWASKA STATE PARK PRESERVE, THE MOHONK PRESERVE, AND CREATED THE SAM'S POINT PRESERVE. IN 2010, OSC MADE SEVEN ACQUISITIONS IN THE MID-HUDSON RIVER VALLEY PROTECTING A TOTAL OF 641 ACRES. THESE ACQUISITIONS PROTECTED CLIFF FACE, DEEP RAVINES AND IMPORTANT HABITAT, AS WELL AS PROVIDING ENHANCED RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. OSI ALSO ACQUIRED APPLEDOORN FARM, A HISTORIC 18TH CENTURY FARM IN THE SHADOW OF THE SHAWANGUNK RIDGE. THE LOWER SECTION OF THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY INCLUDES ORANGE, PUTNAM, ROCKLAND AND WESTCHESTER COUNTIES IN NEW YORK. OSC HAS PROTECTED OVER 16,000 ACRES IN THE LOWER HUDSON RIVER VALLEY THROUGH DIRECT LAND ACQUISITIONS AND CONSERVATION EASEMENTS. IN 2010, OSC ACQUIRED BOTH AN HISTORIC FARM IN THE CORNWALL AREA OF ORANGE COUNTY (THE HOUGHTON FARM) AND AN IMPORTANT INHOLDING TO THE TEATOWN LAKE RESERVATION RESULTING IN THE PROTECTION OF 210 ACRES OF LAND. FOR OVER 30 YEARS, OSC HAS PRESERVE LAND IN THE CATSKILL MOUNTAIN REGION OF NEW YORK STATE, WHERE IT HAS CONSERVED MORE THAN 27,600 ACRES TO DATE. IN THE BEAVERKILL VALLEY ALONE, OSC HAS WORKED WITH PRIVATE LANDOWNERS AND THE STATE OF NEW YORK TO PROTECT MORE THAN 19,200 ACRES OF WORKING FARMS AND FORESTS. IN 2010, OSC PURCHASED PROPERTY IN DELAWARE COUNTY AND ACQUIRED A CONSERVATION EASEMENT ON SCENIC LANDS IN THE BEAVERKILL VALLEY. THE ADIRONDACK REGION POSSESSES AN UNPARALLELED MIX OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LAND, LARGE WILDERNESS EXPANSES, COUNTLESS RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, AND UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES TO PROTECT LARGE, INTACT WORKING FORESTS. TO DATE, OSC HAS PROTECTED 23,821 ACRES IN THE REGION. IN 2010, OSC PURCHASED A 2,364-ACRE FORMER GIRL SCOUT CAMP IN WASHINGTON COUNTY AND RECEIVED A DONATED EASEMENT ON THE 511 ACRES OF LAND IN THE WESTERN ADIRONDACKS. B) ACQUISITION OUTSIDE NEW YORK STATE THROUGH RE-GRANTS: OUTSIDE NEW YORK STATE, OSI AND OSC PROVIDE BOTH SHORT-TERM, LOW-INTEREST BRIDGE LOANS AND GRANTS TO NON-PROFIT CONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TO PERMANENTLY PROTECT OPEN SPACE. DELAYS IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE FUNDING CAN CREATE UNCERTAINTY AND PREVENT LAND CONSERVATION GROUPS FROM CLOSING DEALS. MORE RECENTLY, THE PRECARIOUS NATURE OF STATE AND FEDERAL SUPPORT FOR CONSERVATION HAS CREATED SHORT FALLS IN THE PERMANENT FINANCING THAT MANY LOCAL LAND TRUSTS DEPEND ON TO COMPLETE ACQUISITIONS. OSI AND OSC MAKES GRANTS TO THESE ORGANIZATIONS TO ENABLE THEM TO FUND THESE PROJECTS AND BRING THEM TO CLOSURE. IN 2010, OSC MADE 37 GRANTS FOR A TOTAL OF $2,424,260 THROUGH THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS: NORTHERN FOREST PROTECT FUND ($500,000); MASSACHUSETTS ACCREDITATION ACCELERATION PROGRAM ($71,000); WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS LAND PROTECTION FUND ($60,000); TRANSBORDER FUND ($240,000); AND THE SAVING NEW ENGLAND'S WILDLIFE FUND ($1,553,260). 1. NORTHERN FOREST PROTECTION FUND (NFPF): SPANNING 26 MILLION ACRES IN NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND AND NEW YORK STATE, THE NORTHERN FOREST IS THE ECOLOGICAL, ECONOMIC, AND CULTURAL MAINSTAY OF THIS PREDOMINANTLY RURAL AND LARGELY LOW-INCOME REGION, PROVIDING WILDLIFE HABITAT, RAW MATERIALS, JOBS, AND RECREATION FOR MILLIONS OF RESIDENTS AND VISITORS. CONTINUING LAND SALES BY TIMBER COMPANIES THREATEN TO FRAGMENT THE REGION'S BASE OF WORKING FORESTLANDS. USING CRITERIA FORMULATED WITH THE HELP OF AN EXPERT ADVISORY COMMITTEE, OSC'S NFPF DIRECTS FUNDS TOWARDS PROJECTS THAT: PROTECT LARGE LANDSCAPES, INCLUDING ECOLOGICAL RESERVES AND WORKING FORESTLAND; FACILITATE PUBLIC RECREATION; AND INTEGRATE LOCAL COMMUNITY INTERESTS. THROUGH 2009, THE NFPF MADE 17 GRANTS AND 13 LOANS TOTALING $29 MILLION TO PROTECT 1.6 MILLION ACRES OF ECOLOGICAL PRESERVES AND WORKING FORESTLANDS. IN 2010, THE NFPF AWARDED A $500,000 GRANT TO THE NATURE CONSERVANCY FOR ITS MOOSEHEAD FOREST PROJECT, PROTECTING SOME 310,000 ACRES. FUNDING FOR THE NFPF CAME FROM THE DORIS DUKE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION AND THE SURDNA FOUNDATION. 2. SAVING NEW ENGLAND'S WILDLIFE FUND (SNEW): WITH FUNDING FROM THE DORIS DUKE CHARITABLE FUND, OSC INITIATED THE SAVING NEW ENGLAND'S WILDLIFE FUND IN 2009 FOR THE ACQUISITION OF FEE INTEREST OR CONSERVATION EASEMENT OF ECOLOGICALLY CRITICAL LAND IDENTIFIED IN STATE WILDLIFE ACTION PLANS IN MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, AND NEW HAMPSHIRE THROUGH RE-GRANTS TO QUALIFIED GRANTEES. IN 2010, SNEW AWARDED 11 CAPITAL GRANTS TOTALING $1.6 MILLION FOR ACQUISITION OF LAND OR EASEMENTS PROTECTING A TOTAL OF 6,600 ACRES AS WELL AS THREE "AMPLIFICATION" GRANTS FOR PROJECTS THAT INCREASE FUNDING AND SUPPORT FOR WILDLIFE HABITAT PROTECTION. 3. WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS LAND PROTECTION FUND (WMLP): FUNDED BY THE KOHLBERG FOUNDATION, THE WMLP FUND HAS PROGRAMMATIC GOALS OVERLAPPING THOSE OF SAVING NEW ENGLAND'S WILDLIFE, AND CAN THEREFORE BE USED TO SUPPLEMENT THAT FUND'S WORK IN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS. IN 2010, WMLP GRANTED $60,000 TO BERKSHIRE NATURAL RESOURCES COUNCIL FOR ITS MT. DARBY PROJECT. 4. MASSACHUSETTS ACCREDITATION ACCELERATION FUND (MAAC): RECOGNIZING THAT ORGANIZATIONAL STRENGTH IS ESSENTIAL FOR LAND TRUSTS TO ACHIEVE CONSERVATION RESULTS, OSC LAUNCHED MAAC TO HELP THE SMALLER TRUSTS IN MASSACHUSETTS BRING THEIR ORGANIZATIONS UP TO THE ACCREDITED STANDARD SET RECENTLY BY THE LAND TRUST ALLIANCE. MAAC MAKES SMALL GRANTS FOR OPERATING IMPROVEMENTS. IN 2010, MAAC AWARDED $71,000 TO 15 LOCAL LAND TRUSTS. FUNDING FOR MAAC CAME FROM THE LAND TRUST ALLIANCE, PEW CHARITABLE TRUST, THE KOHLBERG FOUNDATION, AND OSI'S UNRESTRICTED RESERVES. 5. TRANSBORDER PROTECTION FUND: IN 2009, OSC ESTABLISHED THE TRANSBORDER PROTECTION FUND TO BE USED FOR GRANTS OR LOANS TO SUPPORT THE CONSERVATION OF ECOLOGICALLY SIGNIFICANT FORESTED LANDSCAPES IN SOUTHERN QUEBEC, NOVA SCOTIA, NEW BRUNSWICK, NEW YORK, VERMONT, NEW HAMPSHIRE, AND MAINE. IN 2010, OSC AWARDED $240,000 IN GRANTS TO THE NATURE CONSERVANCY OF CANADA AND TO THE TRUST FOR PUBLIC LAND FOR CONSERVATION ACQUISITIONS IN THIS REGION. FUNDING FOR THE TRANSBORDER PROTECTION FUND CAME FROM THE PARTRIDGE FOUNDATION. |
| STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS | FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B | THE STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND STEWARDSHIP OF PROPERTIES ACQUIRED BY OSI AND OSC; MONITORS AND WHEN NECESSARY ENFORCES ITS PORTFOLIO OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS, AND UNDERTAKES THE CONVEYANCE OF PROPERTY IT OWNS TO CONSERVATION AGENCIES (SUCH AS THE NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF PARKS, RECREATION AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION OR THE NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION ) SO THAT IT CAN BE MANAGED FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THE STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM ALSO SERVICES LOANS MADE TO OTHER LAND TRUSTS AND TO PRIVATE CONSERVATION BUYERS. IN 2010, OSI MADE LOANS TO THE HUNTERDON LAND TRUST ALLIANCE AND TO D&R GREENWAY, WHICH ALTOGETHER PROTECTED SOME 273 ACRES IN NEW JERSEY. OSC SOLD SEVEN FEE PROPERTIES AND FOUR EASEMENTS DURING 2010, FOR A TOTAL DISPOSITION OF 546 ACRES. THREE PARCELS AND THREE EASEMENTS WERE SOLD IN THE LOWER HUDSON RIVER VALLEY; FOUR PARCELS WERE SOLD IN THE CATSKILLS; AND ONE EASEMENT WAS SOLD IN THE MIDDLE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY. AS OF THE END OF 2010, OSC WAS MANAGING 88 SEPARATE PROPERTIES FOR A TOTAL OF 14,401 ACRES. IT WAS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR ENFORCING 265 CONSERVATION EASEMENTS. |
| PUBLIC POLICY PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS | FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C | A) CONSERVATION RESEARCH: AS THE AUTHOR AND SPONSOR OF ANALYSES, WHITE PAPERS AND RESEARCH REPORTS, THE CONSERVATION RESEARCH UNIT BRINGS TOGETHER THE EXPERTISE AND THE DECISION-MAKERS TO GUIDE PUBLIC POLICY. IN 2010, SUBSTANTIAL WORK MOVED FORWARD ON CATSKILLS RESEARCH, THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS MAPPING INITIATIVE, AND THE PRIVATE FOREST PLANNING COLLABORATIVE. THE GOAL OF THE CATSKILLS RESEARCH IS TO IDENTIFY HABITAT, WATER QUALITY, RECREATION AND AGRICULTURAL VALUES ACROSS A 2.7 MILLION-ACRE REGION THAT IS DISTINCTLY RURAL IN SPITE OF ITS CLOSE PROXIMITY TO NEW YORK CITY. TWO SEPARATE RESEARCH REPORTS ON THE REGION WERE NEAR COMPLETION BY THE END OF 2010, ONE FOCUSED ON FARMING AND FOOD DISTRIBUTION AND ANOTHER ON THE IDENTIFICATION OF LAND THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. ENCOURAGING APPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT IN THE REGION ENSURES ECOLOGICAL VALUES ARE PRESERVED AND SECURES WILDLIFE HABITAT WHILE ENSURING THAT HUMANS ARE LIVING IN THRIVING ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMUNITIES. OSI'S RESEARCH IS SHOWING THAT PRESERVING OPEN SPACES AND ENCOURAGING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ARE NOT JUST WHOLLY COMPATIBLE, BUT ESSENTIAL. IN RESPONSE TO THE THREAT OF LARGE-SCALE CONVERSION OF FORESTLAND IN THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES TO NON-FOREST USE, OSI'S PRIVATE FOREST PLANNING COLLABORATIVE IS GATHERING DATA ON PRIVATE LAND OWNERSHIP, THE REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT, TIMBER MARKETS, REAL ESTATE, AND NATURAL RESOURCES. THE FINAL PRODUCT WILL INCLUDE A REPORT DETAILING THE NON-TIMBER FOREST VALUE, CONVERSION PRESSURES IN THE REGION, AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR LANDOWNERS TO ACCESS NEW REVENUE STREAMS. IN 2010, 11 LANDOWNERS WHO CONTROL 14 MILLION ACRES OF TIMBERLAND AGREED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STUDY. B) OUTDOORS AMERICA CAMPAIGN: IN 2009, OSI CREATED THE OUTDOORS AMERICA CAMPAIGN, DEDICATED TO SEEKING FULL FUNDING FOR THE FEDERAL LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND (LWCF), THE COUNTRY'S ONLY SOURCE OF DEDICATED CONSERVATION FUNDING. WHILE THE LWCF IS AUTHORIZED TO ANNUALLY RECEIVE $900 MILLION FROM OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS ROYALTIES, CONGRESS HAS OVER THE YEARS DIVERTED THESE MONIES FROM THEIR INTENDED PURPOSE, AND THE FUND HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY UNDER-CAPITALIZED. WITH STAFF IN WASHINGTON, D.C. AND SUPPORT FROM OSI'S NEW YORK STAFF, AND WORKING WITH A ROSTER OF EXPERIENCED NON-PROFIT PARTNERS, OSI'S OAC HAS UNDERTAKEN AND DIRECTED EFFORTS TO EDUCATE DECISION-MAKERS ABOUT THE VALUE OF OUTDOOR SPACES. IN THE MEDIA, OAC EARNED HUNDREDS OF PRESS HITS IN 35 STATES, AND THE CAMPAIGN GREW TO REPRESENT OVER 800 DIVERSE MEMBER GROUPS. C) ALLIANCE FOR NEW YORK STATE PARKS: IN 2010, OSC LAUNCHED THE ALLIANCE FOR NEW YORK STATE PARKS, AN EFFORT TO ADVOCATE FOR PROPER GOVERNMENT FUNDING FOR THE PARKS SYSTEM AND TO ATTRACT PRIVATE CONTRIBUTIONS TO MAKE NEEDED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS. COMMITTED TO THE RESTORATION, MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT OF NEW YORK'S 213 STATE PARKS AND HISTORIC SITES, THE ALLIANCE IMMEDIATELY WORKED TO MINIMIZE THE ANTICIPATED DAMAGE TO THE OFFICE OF STATE PARKS AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION FUND IN THE 2011-2012 STATE BUDGET. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN ADVANCING A "PENNIES FOR PARKS" PROPOSAL WHICH WOULD HELP TO RESTORE AND ENHANCE NEW YORK'S STATE PARKS WITH A ONE-PENNY TAX ON DISPOSABLE PLASTIC BAGS. |
