Our goals include conserving land within the watershed to ensure clean water for all, supporting sustainable fishery, biodiversity, outdoor education and multi-use recreation by protecting and restoring aquatic and terrestrial habitats while ensuring the public access to one of the areas most important environmental, recreational, historic, cultural and economic assets of the region. Advocacy: BkCs advocacy work during 2024 continued with our family friendly, free events geared to educating and engaging the public in watershed focused experiences. These included our annual Battenkill Runs Through It River Festival , trout stocking days in collaboration with NYS DEC, End of the Summer Picky Bug tables with the Greenwich Library & Summer Solstice Full Moon Bonfire with local land owners. BkC also partnered with the Friends of the Battenville Bridge to assist in the conservation of this historic bridge that crosses the Battenkill. 3909 Education: BkC's Discover Your Battenkill for Middle School Program hosted 11 young woman for 3 days of environmental education and team building at our Schmidt Meadow Preserve. The Program introduced students to the watershed, taught water safety skills, hiking basics and environmental lessons on site and at locations throughout the watershed. Our Annual Meeting and Speaker Series brought to the public, William Throops Flourishing in the Age of Climate Change for a presentation and interactive discussion. 1350 Conservation: BkC three fee owned properties (the Preserves) are located within the New York section of the watershed. All three provide public access, riparian protection, wildlife habitat protection,flood resiliency and have a direct positive impact on water quality. BkC also holds a conservation easement on a 50 acre riverfront property in the town of Jackson. BkC also partnered with the Washington County Sportsman Federation to present exhibits at the Washington County Fairgrounds during the County Fair. The improved visibility of our table ensured the exhibit was seen by thousands of attendees going through the DECs building. 225 2024 Capacity Building: In 2024, a change in the long time leadership at the staffing and board level took place and required BkC to reduce its activities as it rebuilds its ongoing capacity and leadership. Board and volunteer recruitment are ongoing. 5484 DEB VINCENT EVANS Director 2.00 0 JEN BRAUCHER Director 2.00 0 KIMBERLY NELSON Director 2.00 0 LORRAINE MERGHART BALLARD Chairman 0 0 RANDY JENNINGS Director 2.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false NY LORRAINE MERGHART BALLARD VARAK PARK CAMBRIDGE NY 12816 5186772545 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 64886 57401 23333 13282 22404 181306 0 0 64886 57401 23333 13282 22404 181306 0 181306 13 17 9 22 12 73 0 0 181379 0.99960 0.99970 X Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $137 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $290 Other Expenses.1005 Travel $308 Other Expenses.1008 Interest $239 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $3054 Other Expenses.2 PROGRAM FEES $1732 Other Expenses.3 EDUCATION AND TRAINING $1200 Other Expenses.5 CONTRACT SERVICES $250 Other Expenses.6 BANK CHARGES $240 Other Expenses.7 REPAIRS MAINTENANCE $225 Other Expenses.8 DUES/ SUBSCRIPTIONS $202 Other Expenses.9 MISC $196 Total Liabilities.1001 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Beginning $0 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses - Ending $200
