Expenses are property taxes, liability insurance, and trail and access road maintenance. Other stewardship activity includes invasive weed control and boundary markings. Total volunteer hours by Board Members and others total 2,456 hours, with a value $76,004. This value is based on the Value of Volunteer Hours provided by Independent Sector.org. This value is not part of the Statement of Revenue or Statement Functional Expenses on pages 9 and 10, respectively. 5332 0 0 Outdoor recreation -- Our main goal in this regard is to help people connect with nature, both through our trail network and from programs we offer. Many of the trails have kiosks and maps for users. Our programs include guided walks open to the community and an annual Accessibility Day for people who cannot walk to one of our summits. The guided walks help people learn more about the environment, as does a "Field Note" section in our newsletter. Expenses include trail maps, brochures, other kiosk material and trail maintenance. Volunteers worked 1118.5 hours on trail development and maintenance, for a value of $33,600. 1777 0 0 Education -- Local schools use the Pinnacle lean-to and trails for field trips and environmental study, and some students do community service projects such as helping to remove invasive species. We sponsor a naturalist who accompanies elementary school students from the Westminster Center School and Grafton Elementary School on some hikes on Pinnacle land to help with their environmental education. Board Members provide guided walks to points of interest, ie to the Champion Ash Tree, to Creature Rock, and to areas of blooming spring flowers. 0 0 0 26552 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 14 14 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 X X X Robert Gay 8023764037 165 Union St Springfield VT 05156 X Zach Aldrich Trustee 0.6 0 X 0 0 0 Curtis Coven Trustee 4.1 0 X 0 0 0 John Gregg Trustee 1.6 0 X 0 0 0 Alison Latham Trustee 1 0 X 0 0 0 Jay Maciejowski Trustee 4.6 0 X 0 0 0 Lisa Merton Trustee 2.2 0 X 0 0 0 Libby Mills Trustee 0.6 0 X 0 0 0 James Roberts Trustee 4 0 X 0 0 0 Noel Hirschl Trustee 0.6 0 X 0 0 0 Mike Oster Trustee 0.6 0 X 0 0 0 Laura Swoyer Trustee 1.1 0 X 0 0 0 Camilla Roberts Vice-Chair 5 0 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Latham Chair 7.8 0 X 0 0 0 Molly Wilson Secretary 2.5 0 X 0 0 0 Robert Gay Treasurer 10.2 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 455 0 0 3497 122715 60 126667 0 9257 9257 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3033 0 0 0 3033 0 3033 3033 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 138957 12290 0 0 X 3160 3160 2591 2591 12894 8209 1556 3129 2666 2666 809 553 256 458 75 383 244 244 5812 3470 2342 Memberships 1120 0 1120 0 Property Taxes 12207 12207 0 0 0 41961 26552 11641 3768 46735 32034 42424 137952 2500 364 7055 6824 3109565 0 3096533 3109565 561991 605784 3757238 3892523 2683 5226 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2683 5226 X 3674775 3807649 79780 79648 3754555 3887297 3757238 3892523 96996 35746 0 0 0 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 41599 106230 512197 436331 126668 1223025 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 41599 106230 512197 436331 126668 1223025 391745 831280 10554 4709 6482 12087 9257 43089 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1266114 0 0.65656 0.66814 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 482112 0 45461 0 0 2591 524982 452833 97805 -38974 0 27000 2552 482112 338766 14618 101524 0 0 2075 452833 306086 41456 -77 0 7000 1699 338766 287622 18464 0 0 0 0 306086 0.87 0.13 0 1 0 3084496 0 3084496 25069 0 0 25069 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3109565 138957 0 0 0 0 0 138957 0 0 0 138957 41961 0 0 0 0 0 41961 0 0 0 41961 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 Schedule D, Part V, Line 4 - Endowment funds are used to pay property taxes, insurance, and road and parking lot maintenance and snow removal.
