This was the first time camp was held at ONSC due to our long time U.S. Forest Service site at Camp Clearfork being unavailable due to water leaks. The Halberg Ecology Camp is scheduled to return to Camp Clearfork for two sessions in June 2023 assuming it is available. Campers were students who had just completed the 5th, 6th or 7th grade and submitted applications to attend. A positive teacher recommendation was required. Campers experienced the following core subjects- ornithology, herpetology, mammalogy, aquatic biology, geology, entomology and botany. Staff included a director, assistant director, publicity director, 11 instructors and a registered nurse. Instructors worked as a 2-person team with a small group of campers who moved from subject to subject during the course of the week's activities. The day's activities included early morning bird walks, daytime classes before and after lunch, and evening programs. No kitchen staff was needed on our part at ONSC since they provided the food and food preparation along with dishes and eating utensils. 0 53378 Bird Friendly Yard Certification Program The Arkansas Audubon Society seeks to inspire Arkansans to care about birds and their habitats, the threats they face, and their connections to us. One of the ways we educate Arkansans about birds and promote the conservation of birds is by certifying bird-friendly properties. We offer three programs: Bird-Friendly Yards, Bird-Friendly Businesses, and Bird-Friendly Places of Worship, which address eliminating hazards and improving bird habitat. Certified properties are entitled to appropriate signage indicating their status as bird-friendly and listing on a map and in our newsletter. Businesses and places of worship are also entitled to being promoted on our website and Facebook page, 0 0 State Wide Conventions The Society holds statewide meetings twice a year in conjunction with spring and fall bird migrations. The locations of the meetings vary but are always near areas of natural interest. Daytime field trips to scenic areas and birding "hot spots" are complemented by evening programs delivered by naturalists. For this tax year, meetings were held in Fayetteville on November and at Fayetteville on May 2022. 0 14644 68022 Lynn Foster President 10 0 0 0 Cheryl Johnson VP 10 0 0 0 Barry Haas Treasurer HEC 5 0 0 0 Sandy Davies Sec. 5 0 0 0 Stephanie Sexton Treasurer AAS 5 0 0 0 Megan Foll Past President 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 AR Stephanie Sexton PO Box 241421 Little Rock AR 72223 5018374636 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 33093 34286 18338 18726 25231 129674 884 0 0 33756 36797 71437 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 33977 34286 18338 52482 62028 201111 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5000 5000 0 0 10000 0 5000 5000 0 0 10000 191111 6597 5109 5045 7306 9561 33618 0 0 0 0 0 6597 5109 5045 7306 9561 33618 0 0 0 0 0 33343 706 955 120 1454 36578 73917 40101 24338 59908 73043 271307 0.70441 0.60459 0.12391 0.11219 X Schedule A, Part I, Line 12 Other income: This includes program receipts such as camp tuition, meeting revenue, miscellaneous camp income, silent auction proceeds, and Bird Friendly Yards.
