THIS HIGH ELEVATION TERRAIN IS COVERED IN SNOW DURING WINTERS AND BURSTING WITH ACCELERATED SPRING GROWTH IN SPRING/SUMMER. COVERING ROUGHLY 2.8 MILLION ACRES, IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT TO ABSORB AND INFILTRATE WATER, AND HOLD IT IN THE SIERRA NEVADA WATERSHEDS FOR YEAR-ROUND RELEASE INTO CALIFORNIA'S MIGHTY RIVERS. IT IS ALSO CRITICAL HABITAT FOR AN ENORMOUS RANGE OF BIODIVERSE SPECIES, MANY OF THEM UNIQUELY ENDEMIC TO THIS REGION.STUDIES AND REPORTS INDICATE THAT OVER 60% OF THE WET MEADOW ALPINE TERRAIN IN CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN LOST IN THE LAST TWO HUNDRED YEARS. THE REASONS ARE MANY: VORACIOUS RESOURCE EXTRACTION, DEVELOPMENT AND ROAD CONSTRUCTION, SEASONAL GRAZING BY SHEEP AND CATTLE, THE DECIMATION OF NATIVE BEAVER SPECIES FOR FUR TRAPPING, AND THE FORCED (AND OFTEN VIOLENT) REMOVAL OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES WHO APTLY MANAGED THIS TERRAIN WITH TRADITIONAL PRACTICES. IN THE LAST 50 YEARS, INTENSE AND GROWING RECREATIONAL USE HAS ALSO TAKEN A SIGNIFICANT TOLL. JMT WILD WORKS WITH FEDERAL LAND OWNERS, SCIENTISTS AND SPECIALISTS, CONSERVATION CORPS AND INDIGENOUS TRIBES IN LOCAL AREAS TO ASSESS, MAP AND MODEL, DESIGN RESTORATION PLANS. OUR TEAM IMPLEMENTS THOSE PLANS AND MONITORS THE PROGRESS TO EXPAND AND RESTORE THESE MEADOW ECOSYSTEMS AND RIPARIAN CORRIDORS FROM MOUNT WHITNEY TO YOSEMITE VALLEY. TO OBTAIN THE REQUIRED FIELD DATA TO UNDERSTAND THE TERRAIN AND IMPLEMENT RESTORATION, JMT WILD OPERATES A SEASONAL MONITORING PROGRAM WHEN UNDERGRADUATES IN ENVIRONMENTAL FIELDS ARE RECRUITED AND TRAINED IN THE TECHNIQUES AND METHODS FOR ACCURATE AND REPEATABLE DATA COLLECTION. SINCE FY 2024, WE OPERATED UNDER A GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS GRANT FROM THE CALIFORNIA NATURAL RESOURCES AGENCY AND PRIVATE SECTOR FUNDING. IN ADDITION TO WATER RESILIENCY AND HABITAT RESTORATION, ANCILLARY BENEFITS FROM THIS WORK INCLUDE THE RE-OPENING OF NATURAL FIRE BREAKS TO IMPROVE FOREST HEALTH AND SLOW WILDFIRES, POWERFUL CARBON SEQUESTRATION TO MITIGATE CLIMATE CHANGE, AND MORE SUSTAINABLE RECREATIONAL ACCESS AND USE. 3781642 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 36 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 12 10 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 CA X URSULA RIINA 6509809988 10008 SE RIVER STREET TRUCKEE CA 96161 MARLA STARK PRESIDENT & CHAIR OF THE BOARD 40.00 X X 200210 0 0 DOUG COLLOM SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LYLE SMITH TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MATTHEW ADAMS BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROB BERNAL BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROB DUNBAR BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 HERB FOCKLER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN FORE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 SIERRA GROSSMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID M KENNEDY BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 TIM MCADAM BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH WENK BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 SARA BARNES DIRECTOR OF FINANCE & ACCOUNTING 40.00 X 59377 0 3420 SPENCER COLLOM DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMS & OPERATIONS 40.00 X 118150 0 10664 377737 0 14084 2 0 1 0 AMERICAN CONSERVATION EXPERIENCE PO BOX 65532 SALT LAKE CITY UT 84165 RESTORATION WORK 378482 EASTERN SIERRA CONSERVATION CORPS PO BOX 7163 MAMMOTH LAKES CA 93546 RESTORATION WORK 352728 STUDENT CONSERVATION ASSOCATION 689 RIVER ROAD CHARLESTOWN NH 03603 RESTORATION WORK 210347 WRA ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS 2169-G EAST FRANCISCO BOULEVARD SAN RAFAEL CA 94901 RESTORATION WORK 198655 USDA FOREST SERVICE (SNF) PO BOX 6200-09 PORTLAND OR 97228 RESTORATION WORK 172707 7 4396185 365167 4761352 116034 116034 4877386 0 0 116034 X 378488 293206 63829 21453 155178 155178 1047344 779520 200451 67373 107216 79926 20425 6865 322451 249795 54379 18277 420 420 38955 38955 1879384 1876634 2750 46536 7530 37955 1051 197246 188397 8849 65642 50855 14787 5275 4087 1188 9042 9042 FIELD GEAR/SUPPLIES/FOO 86428 86428 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 36681 5935 29917 829 COMMS & DEVELOPMENT 24330 8698 15632 STAFF TRAINING 19514 3157 15916 441 6144 994 5011 139 4426274 3781642 512572 132060 376727 375126 2583254 4719783 8010 7825 176646 254491 3144637 5357225 619888 327706 2037531 4012192 181567 260564 2838986 4600462 X 305651 756763 305651 756763 3144637 5357225 451112 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1126552 967316 2195138 3659974 4761352 12710332 1126552 967316 2195138 3659974 4761352 12710332 140282 12570050 38754 120755 116034 275543 12985875 X SCHEDULE A, PART II: THE ORGANIZATION'S 2020 TAX YEAR WAS A SHORT YEAR AS IT WAS THE INITIAL YEAR OF FORMATION.
