In 2023 AWG staff led an environmental education field trip for 55 local school children. AWG received the Forest Service 2022 Volunteers Program Citizen Stewardship and Partnerships Award.Monitoring Programs: AWG River Monitor volunteers and staff continued to conduct water quality monitoring at eight sites in the Upper Carson River watershed, measuring stream temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, and conductivity. We continued the harmful algal bloom monitoring program initiated in 2019, collecting samples for four consecutive months at Red Lake. We also continued post-project photo monitoring for the Hope Valley Restoration and Aquatic Habitat Enhancement Project, which was constructed in October 2020. We continued to conduct post-Tamarack Fire monitoring at Grover Hot Springs State Park and in the Musser and Jarvis watershed, and we conducted meadow health assessments of three meadows. We initiated seedling survivability surveys in the Tamarack Fire burn scar, with the intent of determining restoration planting success. We continued aspen regeneration monitoring associated with a fuels reduction project in the West Fork Carson River watershed.Restoration Projects: AWG hosted the annual Creek Day community workday on September 23, 2023; a total of 52 volunteers worked at five project sites hauling out trash, thinning vegetation to reduce fuels, and building a beaver dam analog. We partnered to lead two community tree planting workdays in burned areas, planting approximately 1,250 trees.Education and Community Outreach: AWGs community outreach and education program included distribution of a monthly newsletter, holding watershed group meetings, website maintenance, social media posts, tabling at community events, and presence at regional conferences. We restarted our youth environmental education program. We were instrumental in starting the Forest Health Community Working Group to make progress over the long-term on improving forest health and resilience; this included helping to host two community meetings and two public field trips. We also began hosting two California Climate Action Corps Fellows, which broadened our outreach to a statewide level. 196388 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 5 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false CA X Kimra McAfee 5306942327 50 Diamond Valley Rd Markleeville CA 96120 Kimra McAfee Executive Dir. 34.00 0.00 X 52787 0 0 Carl Ruschmeyer Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert Twiss Vice Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Zach Wood Treasurer/Secr 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Richard Harvey Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dan Kaffer Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 January Riddle Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Young Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Christine Aralia Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 52787 0 false false false None threshold 0 676 180664 106555 287895 Monitoring 541900 2798 2798 2798 4 4 0 0 0 0 676 0 0 0 0 290697 2798 4 X 0 0 0 0 54408 44028 4309 6071 0 67669 63300 1276 3093 0 3149 2233 768 148 9721 8519 483 719 0 0 9032 9032 0 0 0 78561 67807 10754 0 216 27 163 26 1360 220 1140 0 2400 2400 1077 1059 15 3 0 1600 1600 0 0 0 4976 1371 3496 109 Office Equipment & software 2896 2779 117 Program Supplies 2755 2755 Telephone & Internet 2226 2226 Other Expenses 1092 517 575 848 173 600 75 243986 196388 37354 10244 13625 26042 12508 17511 29130 136390 0 0 0 0 0 1046 1343 0 0 0 0 0 0 56309 181286 1867 67708 12712 23217 14579 90925 X 41730 90361 41730 90361 56309 181286 46711 1920 X false false false X 162525 185581 281054 111323 287895 1028378 0 0 162525 185581 281054 111323 287895 1028378 25200 1003178 8 7 10 8 4 37 0 100 100 1028515 50047 0.97540 0.97220 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Deferred Revenue 9760 Funds Held For Others 108 Payroll Liabilities 13349 23217 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Executive Director and Board Chairman review and make any corrections to the form 990.
