Education and Outreach - Provided programming for approximately 1725 individuals in 2023. Partnered with Girl Scouts of Orange County to help scouts earn STEM badges; provided education programs for multiple elementary and high schools located in Capistrano, Garden Grove, Irvine, Newport-Mesa, Saddleback Valley and Santa Ana Unified School Districts; conducted guided hikes to members of the public at various locations throughout Orange County, including O'Neill Regional Park, Laguna Canyon, Santiago Oaks and Peters Canyon; participated in outreach events including sustainability fair at California State University Long Beach, Girl Scouts of Orange County STEM Expo and Kelp Fest in Laguna Beach; created educational videos for our website; and continued our Coffee and Conservations gatherings, where staff and interns host members of the public on various environmental topics. 0 33692 Monitoring - The Coastal Dunes Monitoring program monitors habitats and species that live in 24 beach segments across Orange County; the Sea Urchin program in partnership with Get Inspired monitors sea urchin populations in tidepools across Orange County; and the Bird Box program at Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary in partnership with the Environmental Nature Center monitors bird behavior and the status of the sanctuary habitat. 0 8841 Restoration - Hosted 16 restoration events for Huntington Beach Wetlands Conservancy (HBWC) resulting in the removal of 9,440 pounds of invasive species/debris, while installing approximately 1,675 native plants and building new wetland structure (e.g. streams, mounds and plateaus). Continue our partnership with Project Grow by restoring the riparian and salt marsh habitats within the preserve and within the Newport Valley site in Upper Back Bay. We worked in clearing the areas in the Newport Valley Riparian corridor of non-native and/or invasive plants to make room for future installation of native species. OCH and Project Grow removed over 1,308 pounds (approx. 14,300 plants) of non-native/invasive species in the salt marsh. We also continued our partnership with the City of Irvine at the Turtle Rock Nature Center in restoring the habitat to provide greater biodiversity and create educational opportunities for the general public. We removed over 500 pounds of plant matter, cleared existing pathways and created a new pathway. Held five restoration events at Santiago Park in the City of Santa Ana resulting in the removal of 475 pounds of debris from the Santiago Creek and surrounds. This site is very important to the local community as it is the City's only wildspace and the creek flows into the Santa Ana River and Pacific Ocean. Through park cleanups, we stop hundreds of pounds of trash from reaching the ocean while simultaneously engaging the local community. 0 8217 50750 Stacey Chartier-Grable CEO, President, Executive Director 40 0 0 0 Cheryl Dyas Bookkeeper/Treasurer 4 0 0 0 Susie Gottlieb Secretary 3 0 0 0 Melissa King Board Member, Monitoring Co-Chair 2 0 0 0 Wendy Berube Board Member, Education Co-Chair 2 0 0 0 Sanjay Das Board Member, Restoration Co-Chair 2 0 0 0 Bianca Borja-BArba Board Member, Fundraising Co-Chair 2 0 0 0 Sheen Sidhu Junior Board Member 1 0 0 0 Alice Carter Advisor 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA Cheryl Dyas 1505 E 17th Street Suite 116 Santa Ana CA 92705 9496978651 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 22110 23591 44206 75352 54421 219680 556 532 10825 15568 26491 53972 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 22666 24123 55031 90920 80912 273652 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3933 5809 13326 23068 0 0 3933 5809 13326 23068 250584 0 0 0 0 1281 1281 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1281 1281 0 0 0 0 0 0 794 0 214 118 192 1318 23460 24123 55245 91038 82385 276251 0.90709 0.9485 0.00464 0 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 Mail box key deposit refund of $10; State Comp Insurance Fund settlement distribution and dividend payment of $182.
