In 2024 AWG staff led one environmental education field trip and six in-classroom lessons, reaching 40 local school children. We started work on a large planning effort to guide the way for future restoration projects, the West Fork Carson Prioritization Project.Monitoring Programs: AWG River Monitor volunteers and staff continued to conduct water quality monitoring at eight sites in the Upper Carson River watershed, measuring stream and air temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, and conductivity. We continued the harmful algal bloom monitoring program initiated in 2019, collecting samples for five consecutive months at Red Lake. We also continued post-project photo monitoring for the Hope Valley Restoration and Aquatic Habitat Enhancement Project, which was constructed in October 2020. We continued to conduct post-Tamarack Fire monitoring in the Musser and Jarvis watershed and seedling survivability surveys in the Tamarack Fire burn scar, with the intent of determining restoration planting success. We continued aspen regeneration monitoring associated with a fuels reduction project in the West Fork Carson River watershed.Restoration Projects: AWG hosted the annual Creek Day community workday on September 21, 2024; a total of 30 volunteers worked at five project sites hauling out trash and adding willow trimmings to beaver dam analog structures. We also led an invasive plant removal workday at Grover Hot Springs State Park. We partnered to lead two community tree planting workdays in burned areas, planting approximately 820 trees. Education and Community Outreach: AWGs community outreach and education program included distribution of a monthly newsletter, website maintenance, social media posts, tabling at 11 community events, and presence at regional conferences. Our youth environmental education program expanded to include Bear Valley School. We continued to provide administrative support for the Forest Health Community Working Group, working to make progress over the long-term on improving forest health and resilience; this included helping to host one community meeting and one field workshop. We hosted two California Climate Action Corps Fellows, which broadened our outreach to a statewide level. 237429 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 false false false false false false false false false true 3 0 true 3 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false CA X Kimra McAfee 5306942327 50 Diamond Valley Rd Markleeville CA 96120 Kimra McAfee Executive Dir. 38.00 0.00 X 56927 0 0 Carl Ruschmeyer Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert Twiss Vice Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Zach Wood Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mary Young Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dan Kaffer Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 January Riddle Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Richard Harvey Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 56927 0 false false false None threshold 0 322 179704 134589 314615 0 15 15 0 0 0 0 1671 322 188 1483 0 0 Miscellaneous 35 35 35 316148 35 15 X 0 0 0 0 62986 48036 7546 7404 0 71922 64375 3194 4353 0 3054 2706 195 153 10930 9231 771 928 0 964 964 8942 8942 0 0 0 91112 91112 0 271 2 258 11 1275 120 1155 0 2400 2400 2764 1988 763 13 0 593 28 565 0 0 0 5161 1306 3716 139 Permits 11849 11849 Supplies 5491 5028 463 Office Equipment & software 3072 367 2705 Telephone & Internet 2405 2405 3116 317 2327 472 288307 237429 37405 13473 26042 15384 17511 45827 136390 85962 0 0 0 0 0 1343 1454 0 0 0 0 0 0 181286 148627 67708 12514 23217 17911 90925 30425 X 90361 118202 90361 118202 181286 148627 27841 X false false false X 185581 281054 111323 287895 314615 1180468 0 0 185581 281054 111323 287895 314615 1180468 60138 1120330 7 10 8 4 15 44 1483 1483 100 35 135 1182130 37924 0.94770 0.97540 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Deferred Revenue 8713 Payroll Liabilities 9198 17911 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Executive Director and Board Chairman review and make any corrections to the form 990.
