Since 1989, more than 19,000 acres of land have been acquired by conservation agencies and organizations, bringing conserved land within the 52,000 acre range to roughly 42,000 acres. VMF actively monitors land ownership within the range for opportunities and raises funds for, and maintains, a substantial land acquisition fund so that it can move quickly to purchase high-value conservation property as it becomes available from willing sellers. Building and maintaining partnerships with public agencies and conservation organizations that can own, manage and fund conservation lands is an ongoing, instrumental part of VMF's preservation activities as we continue to work to see that all lands within the range are preserved. 102874 0 0 Stewardship: Habitat Conservation, Monitoring & Natural Resource Management Although the Volcan Mountain Foundation only first became a land owner and manager in 2009, VMF has been partnering with San Diego County Parks & Recreation rangers and staff for over two decades on botanical and rare plant field surveys, habitat restoration projects, and building and maintaining trails. That experience is now brought to bear on the nearly 400 acres that VMF owns and manages on Volcan Mountain. VMF staff and volunteers have worked to restore forest health through coordinated conifer replanting efforts after devastating wildfires. We work to ensure ongoing oak forest and headwaters health in the face of invasive pests, like the gold-spotted oak borer, with a multigenerational oak replanting project, and through removal of invasive species, like bull thistle and the Chinese tree of heaven. VMF's volunteer Wildlife Imaging Team monitors and tracks wildlife presence on VMF and adjacent properties in partnership with Volcan Mountain neighbors, regional wildlife biologists, San Diego Natural History Museum and others. 89974 0 0 Environmental Education & Community Outreach: VMF's Volcan Mountain Nature Center is an inspiring site to experience and learn about the importance of the forests and headwaters of San Diego County. Water from the Volcan Mountain Range feed four of the largest watersheds in San Diego County. For thousands of years, Native Americans have known the importance of Volcan Mountain; calling it Hahachepang--'where the waters come from'. Now school kids, families and adult life-long learners come to the Nature Center to discover and learn about what watersheds are and the importance of keeping them, and their headwaters healthy. Visitors make uplifting nature connections and experience history and culture in ancient conifer and oak forests. By offering motivating experiences and developing critical ecoliteracy VMF is cultivating the future generations of nature-loving conservation stewards that will protect Volcan Mountain and the world's environment. 0 0 0 271832 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 4 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA X Volcan Mountain Foundation 7607652300 PO BOX 1625 Julian CA 92036 Eric Jones President 40 0 X 58560 0 0 Susan Meyer Director 40 0 X 42320 0 0 Jay Evarts Vice President 3 0 X X 0 0 0 David Rubenson Vice President 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Toni Marquette Treasurer 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Vicki Bergstrom Secretary 3 0 X X 0 0 0 Valerie Cournoyer Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 Jeffrey Holt Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 Michael Pinto Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 Greg Schuett Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 Kathy Wilder Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 Cody Petterson Director 3 X 0 0 0 Michael Beck Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 Howard Levenson Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 Jeffrey Lincer Director 3 0 X 0 0 0 100880 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25131 0 5000 523156 0 553287 4246 4246 0 0 4246 1928 1928 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 25131 3600 600 3000 0 3600 563061 6774 3000 0 X 100828 57180 22985 20663 28947 28025 922 0 3630 0 3630 0 1999 0 1999 0 10532 5984 4548 0 1649 1649 0 0 3922 206 3716 0 8220 8220 93019 92619 0 400 6584 1884 821 3879 5080 453 2745 1882 2349 1888 461 0 9671 4198 5473 0 4106 3803 73 230 18 18 0 0 31989 31989 8265 8265 0 0 6161 1366 4719 76 Food and Beverage 4187 2240 77 1870 Bank Service Fees 3509 137 62 3310 Membership & Govt Fees 260 260 0 0 Property Maintenance 28702 28702 0 0 1895 966 98 831 365522 271832 52329 41361 123 35 523915 417768 1885 3405 4279530 59904 2923218 4219626 74161 56197 3523302 4697031 1000000 7084 3065 7084 1003065 X 3516218 3693966 0 0 3516218 3693966 3523302 4697031 197539 0 0 0 -19791 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 228873 193166 233884 276851 557533 1490307 228873 193166 233884 276851 557533 1490307 1490307 2778 4475 4619 2445 5528 19845 1510152 0.98686 0.98487 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 96458 0 -16503 4000 0 2695 73260 88138 1322 18002 11000 0 4 96458 80744 1286 19787 13000 0 679 88138 83528 7053 107 6000 0 3044 81644 80440 11700 -2210 5000 0 1402 83528 1 0 0 0 0 0 4084438 4084438 0 115000 32316 82684 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 80092 27588 52504 4219626 Credit Card 2586 Sales Tax 479 3065 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Two endowments support the outdoor education program and the Rubenson short-term artist and scientist residency.
