The Center hosted 207 different education programs attended by almost 6300 members and guests. The Center also hosted 59 different school educational programs for over 1300 students including school field trips to the Center and classroom visits. Almost 900 Center volunteer hours were recorded for participation in community programs, work parties, training, and providing tours. 109855 The facilities are part of the Railroad Bridge Park which features the historic Howe truss Railroad Bridge that spans the Dungeness river. In 2023, there were almost 334,000 crossings of the Railroad Bridge at the Center. Due to technical difficulties that prevented a count in 2024, we estimate that the bridge activity was at least the same in 2024. The Centers main building houses an exhibit room with interactive dioramas, videos, visual instruments, and taxidermy wildlife exhibits. These provide a hands-on education experience on the history, ecology, and inhabitants of the Dungeness watershed. Center staff and volunteers use the facilities to provide school and adult education programs on conservation, ecological diversity, and stewardship of our natural resources. The Center building was host to over 38,600 walkthrough visitors. Almost half of these visitors were from out of town. 28412 64306 Festivals: In association with the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society, the River Center hosts an annual BirdFest event. The River Center coordinates all the classes, lectures, cruises, and tours for a three-day event that brings many visitors to the Olympic Peninsula. In 2024, over 500 participants engaged in educational lectures bird watching cruises, tribal facility tours, and instructor-led hikes, etc., to raise awareness of the River Centers leadership in resource and cultural stewardship activities. In addition to participating in other community festivals, the Center hosts an annual River Festival with over 1200 participants. The festival had 500 registered participants for the various classes and cruises and all events were sold out. 45751 45751 329986 true true false false false false false false false false true true 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 false false false false true 0 0 true 0 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 16 16 false false false false true true false true true false false true true true true true true false false false X X WANDA SCHNEIDER 3606815639 1943 W HENDRICKSON RD BOX 1 Sequim WA 98382 X NEIL HARRINGTON BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANN SARGENT SECRETARY 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 WANDA SCHNEIDER TREASURER 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LONI GRENINGER BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARIE GRAD BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TOM MIX BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LYN MUENCH BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KATHY STEICHEN PRESIDENT 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KEN WIERSEMA BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANNETTE HANSON BOARD MEMBER 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ED STEGE BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT STEELQUIST BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 EMMA BARRELL BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KATHY JENKINS BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MONIKA SPERKE BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AUDREY GIFT BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 16220 239042 50008 125386 430656 CAMPS 900099 4595 4595 ADULT CLASSES 900099 19010 19010 PRESENTATIONS 900099 720 720 24325 49561 49561 26874 41562 -14688 -14688 -14688 239042 0 110765 100181 10584 10584 REBATES 900099 533 533 CONCESSIONS INCOME 722515 3784 3784 4317 504755 70315 3784 0 321404 86910 173821 60673 98481 26630 53260 18591 12536 12536 5342 5342 1754 877 877 294 294 7509 7509 1999 1684 315 171923 124298 40313 7312 ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES 18319 18319 PROGRAM AND FUNDRAISING 115892 89587 26305 755453 329986 311709 113758 252165 150021 173010 271606 1498 717 18343 16829 4670552 449890 4399956 4220662 2013731 2139029 34352 22560 6893055 6821424 41660 59487 41660 59487 X 6851395 6761937 6851395 6761937 6893055 6821424 -250698 161246 -6 0 X false false false X 238840 1442395 1333638 540024 430656 3985553 15698 19498 12190 19563 35442 102391 254538 1461893 1345828 559587 466098 4087944 0 0 0 0 0 0 4087944 36481 34703 46743 70820 34873 223620 36481 34703 46743 70820 34873 223620 5477 3784 9261 291019 1496596 1392571 635884 504755 4320825 0.94610 0.94160 0.05000 0.06000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 23502 6763 16739 3292863 211081 3081782 287091 63573 223518 1067096 168473 898623 4220662 2139029 F 2139029 FALL FR 75348 75348 BIRDFEST 64306 64306 3 54062 54062 193716 193716 193716 Members or stockholder classes and rights Part VI line 6 THE ORGANIZATION IS STRUCTURED WITH MEMBERS WHO VOTE FOR ELECTED BOARD MEMBERS AND ON IMPORTANT ORGANIZATION DECISIONS.
