The grants were spread widely around our New Mexico and Western Texas service area and represented a diverse group of projects. In addition, we gave $3000 ($600 each) to 5 regional herbaria, gave a $500 Teacher of the Year Award, and in the summer, gave a $500 Conservation Champion Award. The Gila Chapter (Silver City) received a grant for $49,865 for implementation of phase one of their Master Plan for the Silva Creek Botanical Garden. This is a native plant botanical garden in Silver City. The money is to be used over a two-year period. Our state has recently become a part of the Oregon State University Extension Master Melittologist Program. In cooperation with that program, and because pollination is essential for native plants, NPSNM designed and offered a week-long workshop called, "New Mexico's Native Bees: Exploring Ecosystem Services, Ecology, and Identification." The workshop was taught by Olivia Carril, an independent melittologist, in Santa Fe. The workshop was attended by members from five of our seven chapters as well as some additional professionals from the broader community of native plant enthusiasts. Our Conservation Committee submitted 5 comment letters on behalf of our organization, as well as a letter of support for a sister organization seeking a grant. Our Taos chapter held our annual conference, in Taos, July 25-28, 2024, which drew participants from across New Mexico and Western Texas. Knowledgeable presenters, a student poster session, field trips and social events all helped to spread our mission. Four NPSNM chapters (Gila, Taos, Otero and El Paso) run annual native plant sales that offer quality native plants, some of which are hard to find in the commercial market. These native plant sales are open to the public, which also helps to spread the mission of NPSNM. Throughout the year, our seven chapters hold many quality programs and field trips open to our members as well as the general public. 0 0 0 90453 1 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 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 8 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 NM X X Thomas Stewart 5058816296 PO BOX 35388 ALBUQUERQUE NM 871765388 Wendy Graves Co-president 15 0 X X 0 0 0 Don Graves Co-president 5.0 0 X X 0 0 0 Jonathan Tanis Vice President 0.5 0 X X 0 0 0 Tom Stewart Treasurer 10.0 0 X X 0 0 0 Jane Kruse Recording Secretary 1.0 0 X X 0 0 0 Kathleen Hall Archivist 2.0 0 X X 0 0 0 Sylvan Kaufman Chapter Representative, Santa Fe Chapter 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Betty Spence Chapter Representative, Gila Chapter 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Joan Woodward Chapter Representative, Las Cruces Chapter 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Kevin Floyd Chapter Representative, El Paso Chapter 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Laurel Berry Chapter Representative, Otero Chapter 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Dana Loy Chapter Representative, Albuquerque Chapter 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Jan Martenson Chapter Representative, Taos Chapter 0.5 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 36344 0 0 49865 134465 65730 220674 Annual Conference 813312 26792 26792 0 0 Landscaping, Workshops, Tours, Presentations 813312 15845 15845 0 0 Native Bee Workshop 813312 5080 5080 0 0 0 0 0 0 47717 12306 12306 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 67865 0 65731 0 2134 0 2134 2134 0 0 0 20039 9236 10803 10803 0 0 0 293634 72960 0 0 X 13727 13727 10100 10100 568 568 26128 22181 2857 1090 569 455 114 5917 2517 1258 2142 645 516 129 5895 2947 1474 1474 27479 21983 2748 2748 962 962 Newsletter Printing and Mailing 10876 8701 0 2175 Other Costs of Chapter Business and Mission 10465 7326 2093 1046 113331 90453 11960 10918 14482 14968 169920 273168 263607 358846 448009 646982 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 448009 646982 448009 646982 448009 646982 180303 18670 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 88438 94639 56877 97572 220674 558200 15227 50470 45531 34086 67756 213070 103665 145109 102408 131658 288430 771270 0 0 0 0 0 0 771270 6328 24654 6253 5468 14440 57143 6328 24654 6253 5468 14440 57143 109993 169763 108661 137126 302870 828413 0.93102 0.91759 0.06898 0.08241 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1 Grants or assistance for native plant-related projects, as well as for Teacher of the Year and Conservation Champion awards. 15 13727 0 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Grant funds and assistance were awarded in a competitive process, including for Teacher of the Year award, and for Conservation Champion Award.
