This year, the combined work of the CNPS Rare Plant Program, the Vegetation Program, and CNPS stewardship staff helped provide much-needed data, review, and best practices on California's rare plants and habitats. CNPS Vegetation staff, volunteers, and subcontractors completed over 1,650 vegetation surveys and installed 40 Bureau of Land Management Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring plots across California; and completed updates or additions for at least 50 alliances in our Manual of California Vegetation online. The Rare Plant Program completed 46 rare plant status reviews, led two major rare plant seed collection expeditions in Modoc Co. and the Tahoe region, and made over 600 voucher collections in the Utom River Watershed. Highlights included the launch of the Rare Plant Inventory v9.5, the completion of fine-scale vegetation maps for Santa Cruz and Santa Clara counties, and an unprecedented $20M State of California budget allocation to help complete fine-scale vegetation mapping across the state and $13M to update the California Natural Diversity Database and eliminate its backlog. In horticulture and stewardship, CNPS wrapped up its successful three-year Bloom! California campaign by increasing control group native plant sales by 96% over the course of the campaign. The CNPS Fire Followers community science project achieved 150,000 observations, a 50% increase over its original goal. 1838506 240403 676301 ENGAGEMENT AND OUTREACHThis year, CNPS continued its work to engage a diversity of people in the enjoyment and protection of California native plants. CNPS and partners celebrated the success of the Saging the World campaign, a multimedia effort to raise awareness of white sage poaching and the global cultural appropriation of sage smudging. The campaign's centerpiece documentary received accolades worldwide as the official selection for the Cannes World Film Festival and the Indie Short winner of the Los Angeles International Film Festival. The CNPS School Nature Gardens Project began work at Los Angeles area public schools and completed preparation for the first-of-its-kind native plant educator conference. The CNPS Public Affairs team continued its leadership at the intersection of communications strategy and public policy, serving as the communications lead for the Power in Nature 30x30 coalition. CNPS also was proud to co-sponsor Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan's Assembly Bill 2146, which would have helped protect imperiled pollinators by banning the use of dangerous neonicitinoids for non-agricultural uses. The bill passed through both the California Assembly and Senate before the Governor vetoed it, directing the Department of Pesticide Regulation to address regulatory gaps. The year ended in an exciting partnership with Assemblymember Laura Friedman to introduce and sponsor Assembly Bill 1573, the first legislation of its kind to create a requirement for the use of native plants in public and commercial landscaping. 755821 3120 CONSERVATIONThe CNPS Conservation Program is focused on the environmental review, legal action, and advocacy needed to protect California native plants and habitats today and into the future. This year, members of the team joined CNPS Executive Director Dr. Jun Bando as part of an extended California delegation to the United Nations 15th Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15) in Montreal, where they advocated for native plant conservation globally and here in California. The Montreal trip was part of CNPS's ongoing work to conserve native plants and habitat through large scale conservation efforts like "30x30," the state, national, and international goal to conserve 30% of lands and coastal waters by 2030. In 2022-23, the CNPS team focused heavily on the Molok Luyuk expansion of Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument and other emerging national monument campaigns, which are key to achieving 30x30 in California. In addition, the CNPS Conservation team and chapter conservation leaders continued project-based work to protect native habitat and halt harmful projects in places like Tejon Ranch and Conglomerate Mesa. The team also provided important science-based comment to address concerning attacks on environmental regulation as California balances its goals of biodiversity protection and wildfire resilience. 442583 99606 6682137 true true false true false false false false false true true false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 71 0 true 62 true true true false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false true true false true true false true true true true true true true true true false false CA X X X Brock Wimberley 9164472677 2707 K Street 1 Sacramento CA 95816 Brock Wimberley Sr Operations Dir 51.00 0.00 149079 0 19336 Julie Evens Vegetation Prg Dir 44.00 0.00 131990 0 18045 Liv R O'Keeffe Dir Public Affairs 56.00 0.00 147387 0 126 Christine Pieper Development Dir 42.00 0.00 121455 0 17678 Andrea E Williams Dir Biodiversity 44.00 0.00 115382 0 15766 Vince Scheidt Exec Dir/Dir 31.00 0.00 X X 99928 0 6075 Kathy Jun Bando Executive Dir. 50.00 0.00 X X 34442 0 3577 John Hunter President 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Vivian Neou Vice President 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Steve Schoenig Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 April Owens Secretary 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Carol Witham Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lucy Ferneyhough Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matt Ritter Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alice Cantelow Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Hannah Kang Director 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 799663 80603 5 false true false Third Rail 6341 South Land Park Dr Sacramento CA 95831 Printing 209465 Propane Studio LLC 2501 Harrison St 5 San Francisco CA 94110 Website 167500 2 767819 5823831 2361821 6591650 Advertising income 511120 6762 6762 Conference income 611430 595580 595580 Contract Income 541900 1814806 1814806 Membership Dues & Assessments 900099 93144 93144 Workshop income 611430 80721 80721 3120 3120 2594133 181514 181514 0 0 0 1367472 1365218 2254 2254 2254 0 0 735745 191541 544204 544204 Chapter Miscellaneous 900099 6522 6522 6522 9920277 3140351 6762 181514 129922 129922 121081 121081 0 0 154044 126000 18784 9260 0 4388103 3589748 534739 263616 221485 181164 27007 13314 371809 304122 45337 22350 352213 288093 42948 21172 0 1410 1410 29600 29600 48000 48000 0 0 752615 597585 119317 35713 4661 4661 70787 22025 47361 1401 62776 10714 14544 37518 0 170441 135938 23611 10892 314507 280249 30416 3842 0 422955 422955 0 0 0 31078 25420 3790 1868 Miscellaneous 298121 119180 148248 30693 Printing and Publications 262841 188816 874 73151 Supplies 116675 91125 24242 1308 0 8325124 6682137 1116889 526098 7027190 4357783 4594403 1556286 161343 834971 691765 652647 0 0 0 221255 227257 56554 83342 351163 11787 20827 339376 1178718 4873998 0 0 0 7737 2242023 13959792 15167683 463984 530990 197785 138371 661769 669361 X 10843344 9556871 2454679 4941451 13298023 14498322 13959792 15167683 1595153 -394854 X false true X true false X 2594013 7284553 2954202 5027672 6684794 24545234 0 0 2594013 7284553 2954202 5027672 6684794 24545234 5936309 18608925 47641 68151 22317 41978 181514 361601 0 21504 20805 17733 11725 6522 78289 24985124 7977805 0.74480 0.75150 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 58708 58708 8197618 8256326 562816 140704 false 333259 356771 437905 562816 1690751 2536127 36312 16452 44369 58708 155841 83315 89193 109476 140704 422688 634032 347078 -44621 302457 338289 8789 347078 313304 42115 2487 4996 9647 338289 357585 -26984 2534 5087 9676 313304 363424 927 439 4590 1737 357585 0.21000 0.79000 false false false 4200 4200 346963 11787 335176 339376 Deposits 7737 Residence held for sale 2234286 2242023 7361833 -394854 191541 -203313 7565146 2355131 2355131 9920277 7879053 191541 191541 7687512 637612 637612 8325124 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

This year, CNPS chapter volunteers logged a whopping 134,332 hours of service -- that's 368 hours a day dedicated to habitat restoration, community education, garden tours, native plant sales, and monthly programming. Highlights included the donation of hundreds of plants to local organizations and community spaces in places like Sacramento and San Francisco; removal of 16 tons of trash to help restore a 10-acre vernal pool site in San Diego; the completion of 70 surveys in sensitive communities in Del Norte, Humboldt, and Mendocino counties; propagation and cuttings of the last wild Vine Hill Manazanita and the rare Suisan Marsh aster; and the preservation and transfer of 4,000 specimens from the Bakersfield Herbarium to the Buena Vista Museum of Natural History. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: PUBLICATIONSFor more than 50 years, CNPS has been the information hub for native plant science, horticulture, and conservation. During the year, CNPS issued 2 scientific journals called Fremontia and 4 magazines called Flora. We have 9,118 subscribed members for both publications.
