We continued to support bird research including for Harlequin Ducks, Evening Grosbeaks, Great Gray Owls, and Red Crossbills as well as sagebrush bird species. Vital bumblebees also were studied for negative effects of parasites. Public outreach projects included on-going support for Annual Sandhill Crane Festival in Teton Valley, Idaho, and Sporting Lead Free to reduce toxic lead shot used by hunters. 0 0 0 We are pleased that our small grants provide such essential support to graduate students and professional biologists researching ways to understand and steward the wildlife in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in NW Wyoming. 86589 true true 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 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false FRANCES CLARK 7812599819 PO BOX 1932 WILSON WY 83014 X ALY COURTEMANCH PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 SUSAN PATLA VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ANN HARVEY SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 FRANCES CLARK TREASURER 1.50 X X 0 0 0 CHARLIE CRAIGHEAD DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 FRANZ CAMENZIND DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 JULIE HOLDING DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARY LOHUIS DIRECTOR 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN MARSH DIRECTOR 1.50 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 76751 76751 19023 0 19023 24 0 0 24 95798 0 0 19047 86589 86589 1275 0 1275 0 2419 0 2419 0 578 0 578 0 Fundraising 486 0 0 486 91347 86589 4272 486 70239 81785 89012 81393 465842 498542 625093 661720 0 0 X 625093 661720 625093 661720 625093 661720 X 4451 32176 X false false false X 0 37061 88871 70982 67495 95798 360207 0 0 37061 88871 70982 67495 95798 360207 11207 349000 114 50 308 363 19023 19858 0 23 23 380088 0.91820 0.95460 X 0 0 0 Pt II Ln 10 Other Income Part II, Line 10 Description: ROYALTIES 2024: 23.
