The FOREVER PRESERVED initiative was launched to broaden awareness of and support for efforts to establish a conservation easement to protect the Preserve in perpetuity. Field trips and presentations were made to the public and groups highlighting the history of the Preserve, current activities, future plans, and a call to action for participants to get involved and to advocate for the Preserve with local decision-makers (elected officials and city key staff).Directly tied to the FOREVER PRESERVED initiative, the Prescott Creeks In-Lieu Fee (ILF) Mitigation Program saw progress with City of Prescott negotiations with the property owner, the City of Prescott, to establish a conservation easement (CE) for the property. The City completed a Hydrologic Evaluation of the property and proposed restoration work to determine possible impacts to water resources in the project area. The studys executive summary concluded: the proposed project has a generally benign impact with respect to average annual water volumes. which was instrumental in moving other elements of the effort forward. By the end of the period a near-final draft survey was completed, and material advancement was seen on Joint and Fire Management Plans for the Preserve drafting. Finalization of the conservation easement and its related element will result in 40 acres being added to the Preserve area (from 126 to 166 acres) and bringing the ILF Program into full compliance with the Clean Water Act requirements.Volunteerism with Prescott Creeks continued to be an important component of programmatic accomplishments with activities in the office and field. Coordination for a third year with the Central Highlands Chapter of the Arizona Master Naturalist Program resulted in increased volunteer contributions to on-the-ground vegetation management in the Preserve. Joint efforts with GEM Environmental, Prescott Audubon Society, Arizona Game & Fish Department, and the City of Prescott addressed vegetation management and monitoring, recreation management, and education. Coordination with the local power company and City showed progress with routing of the proposed infrastructure which will benefit multiple ecological and recreational resources in the Preserve.Many educational efforts and opportunities during the year supported the above projects and the organizations mission of achieving healthy watersheds and clean waters in central Arizona. In person presentations were made to both local groups, schools, partners, and governments. The annual Granite Creek Cleanup in 2024 marked its 17th year under the leadership of Prescott Creeks (with operational partners: the City of Prescott and the Yavapai County GIS Department). To date, 8,000 participants have collected 53.6 tons of trash and debris from local waterways, parks, and natural areas. Interest in participation continues to trend upward while trash collected continues to trend downward.2025FY accomplishments are expected include completion and approval of management and development plans, and the establishment of a conservation easement for the Watson Woods Riparian Preserve. The initiation of major on-the-ground restoration and mitigation work will follow. Increased community engagement, volunteerism, and education will continue in the 2025FY. 100159 true false false false false false false false false true true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 4 0 false 1 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false X Michael Byrd 9284455669 PO Box 3004 Prescott AZ 86302 Michael Byrd Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 61483 0 0 Andie Rorick Treasurer 2.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Sandy Moss Director 2.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kristy Everson Director 2.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tom Lynott Director 2.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bruce McKeeman Treasurer 2.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 61483 0 false false false 0 61044 6706 61044 Mitigation Fee Program 900099 91633 91633 91633 1457 1457 0 0 0 52 -52 -52 -52 0 0 121 121 121 Other 900099 5 5 5 154208 93038 126 0 0 0 0 65465 42552 9820 13093 0 0 0 0 5011 3257 752 1002 0 21193 21193 18061 18061 0 0 0 1418 1418 7262 7262 15342 10512 2122 2708 10828 6098 1699 3031 0 9249 5457 1757 2035 962 956 3 3 0 0 27 27 0 543 543 4626 1454 2918 254 0 159987 100159 37702 22126 46511 38847 3124405 3630322 0 41075 41175 0 0 0 0 4978 4265 27863 27518 889 345 0 0 0 0 40082 44117 3257940 3759071 2572 4149 3077775 3579727 4223 4287 3084570 3588163 X 141230 146893 32140 24015 173370 170908 3257940 3759071 -5779 4052 148 -883 X false false false X 38680 43730 51943 52953 54338 241644 52302 84244 80747 74021 91754 383068 0 0 0 90982 127974 132690 126974 146092 624712 1250 1311 900 1150 3065 7676 0 1250 1311 900 1150 3065 7676 617036 1738 491 471 1190 1458 5348 0 1738 491 471 1190 1458 5348 0 490 430 1471 6859 9250 92720 128955 133591 129635 154409 639310 0.96520 0.95160 0.00840 0.00720 X 124042 180 3019 121203 124634 100 692 124042 126666 2032 124634 129717 4998 8049 126666 166226 36509 129717 0.73000 0.20000 0.07000 false false false 27863 27518 345 345 Accrued Paid Time Off 2519 Accrued Wages 756 Credit Cards Payable 1012 4287 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The association circulates form 990 to all board members prior to filing requesting their review and presentation of any questions that might arise.
