Madeleine believed that humanity can and must learn to coexist with nature, and to that end the land is held open to the public to enjoy without charge. The existing structures on the land are slowly being updated to make them available for public use. 0 0 94065 34020 See statement in Schedule O. 0 0 0 94065 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA X Frederick K Loehr 7072289854 597 Grandview Rd Sebastopol CA 954722925 Meredith Porter President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Derick Felsman Vice President 2 0 X X 0 0 0 Michael F Wills Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Frederick K Loehr Treasurer 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Kathryn Jurik Director 0.2 0 X 0 0 0 Delora Porter Director 0.2 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 135 0 135 Rent 531110 34020 34020 0 0 0 0 0 0 34020 10746 0 10746 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 44901 34020 10746 0 3402 3402 3902 3902 398 398 344 344 10823 10823 11068 11068 Fallen & Diseased Tree Removal 18810 18810 0 0 Property Tax 12367 12367 0 0 Demolition 30500 30500 0 0 Repairs and Maintenance 17918 17918 0 0 109532 94065 15467 0 23386 19532 312386 262432 921262 58096 873989 863166 1209761 1145130 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 873989 863166 335772 281964 1209761 1145130 1209761 1145130 -64631 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 100 8167 50 1560 135 10012 38400 32930 32400 32400 34020 170150 38500 41097 32450 33960 34155 180162 180162 6585 5512 15574 -5146 10746 33271 6585 5512 15574 -5146 10746 33271 45085 46609 48024 28814 44901 213433 0.84412 0.86881 0.15588 0.13119 X 0 655263 655263 0 174737 32565 142172 0 68762 6632 62130 0 0 0 0 0 22500 18899 3601 863166 Form 990, Part III, Line 4a One of the primary objectives of The Madeleine Sone Wildlife Preserve is to ensure that the 24-acre property remains open, usable, and accessible to the general public. Based on informal assessments of parking lot traffic and trail usage, it is estimated that approximately 10 hikers visit the Preserve each day, resulting in 300 or more visitors per month who enjoy the tranquil environment and the impressive redwood-filled canyon. The Preserve was open every day in 2023 except for a 2-week period to repair storm damage caused by fallen trees, successfully achieving this objective. A related objective of the Preserve is to repurpose existing structures on the property for public use. This is a costly, long-term endeavor that is further complicated by the deterioration of the structures and roads during the latter years of Madeleine Sone's life. Some structures were erected without permits and were beyond repair, and many of those structures were demolished in 2023 as part of the continuing program to improve the property and make it safe. The main residence is rented out, as it is necessary and convenient to keep it occupied so it can be insured and to stop the vandalism that occurred when it was empty. The rent collected is used to fund projects such as storm repairs, tree maintenance and removal, demolition, and general upkeep. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2 Fred Loehr and Michael Wills are married. Meredith Porter and Derick Felsman are married. Delora Porter and Meredith Porter are mother and daughter. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 3 Rental management, including the collection of rents and hiring out most maintenance work, is contracted out to Sonoma County Property Rentals Inc., located at 5218 Country Club Drive, Rohnert Park, CA 94928 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A complete copy of this return, including all attached schedules, was emailed to each director on the board of The Madeleine Sone Wildlife Preserve prior to filing. Income and expenses are discussed throughout the year by email and at board meetings, and no major spending is undertaken without the informed consent of the directors. The tax return is thus a recap of information already known to the board. Board members communicate with each other freely, and questions about finances or the tax return are answered promptly. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 The governing documents (Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws) and financial statements of The madeleine Sone Wildlife Preserver are available to the public upon request. The Preserve website (sonepreserve.org) provides a Contact button where members of the public can make such a request.
