The Land Library completed a strategic planning retreat and the Board approved a 2025-27 Strategic Plan. Our partnership course with the CU Boulder Environmental Design program was completed, culminating with a campus exhibition of student work in March. Work at Buffalo Peaks Ranch continues to progress, including: ongoing CO State OEDIT tax credits reporting, expanded ranch maintenance with a new caretaker, ongoing work with a pro bono attorney and Aurora Water to secure future commercial water rights for the full 3-phase ranch rehabilitation, work with a CU Denver graduate student intern on historic preservation grants research, hiring a new contract grant writer focused on ranch fundraising, and re-starting summer programming during the summer - engaging over 75 attendees across 8 events. The ranch's 2024 Master Plan was featured as the April 2025 cover story for Landscape Architecture Magazine. We earned grants from the America 250 / Colorado 150 Commission, the Denver Foundation, and Park County Historic Preservation Advisory Commission. We exceeded our 2025 year-end fundraising goal, raising just over $125,000. The Land Library hired a contract library consultant to start a strategic cataloguing effort and to create a collection development policy. We started a partnership with Boulder Bookstore to co-sponsor ongoing author talks related to natural history topics, beginning with Bill McKibben and Terry Tempest Williams. In October, we launched our Friends Group with our first major fundraising event. We added three new members to our Board of Directors: Annie Lawson (attorney at Haynes Boone), Joe Davidson (State of CO demography office), and Joe McCullough (COO at National Western Center Authority). 0 107386 107386 Helen Thorpe Secretary 5 0 0 0 Matthew Miller Treasurer 5 0 0 0 Kathy Borgen Director 5 0 0 0 Dan Carey Chair 15 0 0 0 William Wenk Director 15 0 0 0 Grace Hanover Vice Chair 5 0 0 0 Joe Davidson Director 5 0 0 0 Annie Lawson Director 5 0 0 0 Joe McCullough Director 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rocky Mountain Land Library 1536 Wynkoop Street Suite 906 Denver CO 80202 3126130933 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 248097 163809 180459 203883 180460 976708 967 1197 268 3255 5687 249064 165006 180459 204151 183715 982395 982395 27 3258 3285 0 0 0 27 3258 3285 249064 165006 180459 204178 186973 985680 0.99667 1 0.00333 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Direct Program $13,937; Insurance $4,901; Dues Subscriptions and Fees $1,416; Education $575; Meetings $984; Marketing and Website $4,571; Supplies $144; Travel $703 Form 8868, Extension of Time To File and Exempt Organization Return, was filed and accepted prior to the due date, May 15, 2026.
