Education and Outreach - Provided programming for approximately 2520 individuals in 2024. 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 Arroyo Trabuco Trail, Weir Canyon, Carbon Canyon, O'Neill Regional Park, Laguna Canyon, Santiago Oaks and Peters Canyon; participated in over a dozen outreach events including the OC Green Expo, Children's Water Education Festival, Saddleback College Earth Day event, Santiago Canyon College Earth Fest and International Coastal Clean-Up Day Celebration; 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 57404 Monitoring - Concluded the Coastal Dunes monitoring program that included habitat surveys for shore species that live in 24 beach segments across Orange County; conducted work on the 2nd and 3rd cycles of the Sea Urchin program in partnership with Get Inspired, monitoring sea urchin populations in tidepools across Orange County. 0 3736 Restoration - Hosted 17 restoration events for Huntington Beach Wetlands Conservancy (HBWC) resulting in the removal of 19,351 pounds of invasive species/debris, while installing approximately 4,022 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 Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve. OCH and Project Grow removed over 695 pounds 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. During six events, we removed over 410 pounds of plant matter, cleared existing pathways and created a new pathway. Held ten restoration events at Santiago Park in the City of Santa Ana resulting in the removal of 1,170 pounds of invasive species and debris from the Santiago Creek and surrounds. This site is very important to the local community as it is the City's only wild space and the creek flows into the Santa Ana River and Pacific Ocean. Through park cleanups, we prevent hundreds of pounds of trash from reaching the ocean while simultaneously engaging the local community and encouraging stewardship. 0 15451 76591 Stacey Chartier-Grable CEO, President, Executive Director 40 0 0 0 Cheryl Dyas Bookkeeper/Treasurer 6 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 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 Sydney Rilum Board Member 1 0 0 0 Marjorie King Advisor 2 0 0 0 Jo King Advisor 1 0 0 0 Lucio Chen Advisor 1 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 23591 44206 75352 54421 90165 287735 532 10825 15568 26491 29416 82832 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24123 55031 90920 80912 119581 370567 0 0 0 0 0 3933 5809 13326 14210 37278 0 3933 5809 13326 14210 37278 333289 0 0 0 1281 2494 3775 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1281 2494 3775 0 0 0 0 0 0 214 118 192 104 628 24123 55245 91038 82385 122179 374970 0.88884 0.90709 0.01007 0.00464 X Schedule A, Part III, Line 12 - State Comp Insurance Fund dividend payment of $76 and Redbubble logo sales $28.
