THIS ENTITY WAS THE OUTDOOR DISCOVERY CENTER (ODC). NINE YEARS LATER, THE ODC MERGED WITH THE MACATAWA GREENWAY PARTNERSHIP IN AN EFFORT TO LEVERAGE AND EXPAND THEIR MISSIONS. THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF A SIGNIFICANT GROWTH PERIOD FOR THE ODC. IN THE COMING YEARS, 9 ADDITIONAL BUSINESS DIVISIONS WERE DEVELOPED THAT DRIVE OUR GOALS TO REDEFINE EDUCATION, RESTORE AND CONSERVE LAND AND WATER, AND TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITY THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE, WORK, PLAY AND LEARN. OUR BREADTH OF SERVICES LED TO A NAME CHANGE TO THE ODC NETWORK WHICH SERVES AS THE PARENT ORGANIZATION THAT PERFORMS ESSENTIAL, MISSION SPECIFIC WORK TO DRIVE COMMUNITY CHANGE, GROWTH, AND IMPACT IN CONSERVATION AND EDUCATION. THE ODC NETWORK'S MISSION IS TO ADVANCE OUTDOOR EDUCATION AND CONSERVATION. THE ODC NETWORK OPERATES TWO GREENWAY PROJECTS, A WATERSHED CLEAN-UP INITIATIVE, THREE NATURE-BASED PRESCHOOLS, TWO NATURE CENTERS, MULTIPLE WILDLIFE PRESERVES, AN ECO-TOUR BUSINESS, A LAND CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION BUSINESS, AND AN EDUCATIONAL CONSULTING BUSINESS. THE FOLLOWING DIVISIONS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED TO FACILITATE THE PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS OF THE ODC NETWORK. OUTDOOR DISCOVERY CENTER (ODC): THE ODC PROVIDES EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO THE WEST MICHIGAN COMMUNITY TO ENHANCE THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF OUR NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES. THE ODC IS HOME TO A VARIETY OF HABITATS, WALKING TRAILS, LIVE ANIMAL EXHIBITS, AND A WIDE ARRAY OF EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES. THE ODC IS OPEN FREE TO THE PUBLIC 365 DAYS A YEAR. MACATAWA RIVER GREENWAY (MRG): ITS MISSION IS TO PROTECT ENHANCE NATURAL LANDS, STREAMS, AND OPEN SPACES WITHIN THE LAKE MACATAWA WATERSHED FOR PUBLIC ENJOYMENT AND THE PRESERVATION OF PLANT AND WILDLIFE HABITAT. WHERE APPROPRIATE, THE MRG WILL CREATE PARKS AND OPEN SPACES FOR RECREATION, CONSERVATION, WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT, AND PRESERVATION. ODC EXPLORER NETWORK: IT PROVIDES NATURE-BASED, SMALL GROUP ECO-TOUR EXCURSIONS WITH EXPERIENCED TRAVELERS AND NATURALISTS FROM THE ODC NETWORK. THE ODC NETWORK CONNECTS PEOPLE WITH UNIQUE ECOSYSTEMS AND EXPERIENCES AIMED AT BUILDING KNOWLEDGE, AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNIQUE NATURAL HISTORY AND CULTURAL HISTORY OF THE WORLD. ON AVERAGE, THE ODC EXPLORER NETWORK FACILITATES TWO ECO-TOUR ADVENTURES EACH YEAR. ODC EARLY CHILDHOOD: THE ODC EARLY CHILDHOOD BUSINESS LINE INCLUDES LITTLE HAWKS DISCOVERY PRESCHOOL, HATCHLINGS CHILD CARE, SEEDLINGS DISCOVERY PRESCHOOL AND DRAGONFLIES DISCOVERY PRESCHOOL. THESE ARE NATURE BASED EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS THAT FOCUS ON CONNECTING EARLY LEARNERS TO THE OUTDOORS. NEARLY 400 CHILDREN AGES 0-5 ATTEND THESE PROGRAMS WHERE THEY ARE PROVIDED A QUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE THAT PREPARES THEM TO BE ACTIVE, INDEPENDENT LEARNERS WHO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF AND APPRECIATION FOR THE NATURAL WORLD AND ENSURING A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE. PROJECT CLARITY (PC): THE PC MISSION IS TO RESTORE THE WATER QUALITY OF LAKE MACATAWA AND THE MACATAWA WATERSHED THROUGH A MULTI-PHASED APPROACH FOCUSED ON LAND RESTORATION, BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES, COMMUNITY EDUCATION, AND LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY. OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS OVER 100 WATERSHED RESTORATION PROJECTS HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED IN THE MACATAWA WATERSHED. ODC CONSERVATION SERVICES: ITS PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE LAND MANAGEMENT AND RESTORATION SERVICES, INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT, AND WILDLIFE HABITAT AND CONSERVATION IMPROVEMENT TO PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LAND OWNERS IN THE KALAMAZOO AND MACATAWA RIVER WATERSHED REGION.

ODC EDUCATION NETWORK: IT PROVIDES A CUSTOMIZED SET OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND NATURE-BASED EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP STUDENTS, EDUCATORS AND EDUCATION ADMINISTRATORS CREATE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR ENVIRONMENT. ODC EDUCATION NETWORK HAS A TEAM OF EDUCATIONAL PROFESSIONALS THAT WORK THE SCHOOLS AND ORGANIZATIONS TO BUILD CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE CLASSROOM AND THE OUTDOORS USING PROJECT-BASED LEARNING, ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION, AND CUSTOMIZED EXPERIENCES THAT BUILD RELEVANT CONTEXT AND MEANING INTO AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE. CURRENTLY, THERE ARE 17 SCHOOLS WORKING WITH THE ODC EDUCATION NETWORK TO CONNECT THEIR CLASSROOMS, SCHOOLS AND STUDENTS TO THE OUTDOORS. KALAMAZOO RIVER GREENWAY (KRG): THE MISSION IS TO PROTECT AND ENHANCE NATURAL LANDS, STREAMS, AND OPEN SPACES WITHIN THE KALAMAZOO RIVER WATERSHED IN ALLEGAN COUNTY FOR PUBLIC ENJOYMENT AND THE PRESERVATION OF PLANT AND WILDLIFE HABITAT. WHERE APPROPRIATE, THE KRG WILL CREATE PARKS AND OPEN SPACES FOR RECREATION, CONSERVATION, WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS AND PRESERVATION. DEGRAAF NATURE CENTER: OWNED BY THE CITY OF HOLLAND, THIS 18-ACRE NATURE CENTER IS LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE CITY. THE CONTRACTUAL MANAGEMENT OF THE CENTER WAS TRANSITIONED TO THE ODC NETWORK WITH THE GOAL OF GROWING THE IMPACT AND PROGRAM OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED AT DEGRAAF BY THE ODC NETWORK STAFF. IT SERVES AS AN URBAN NATURE EDUCATION SITE, EXPANDING OUR ABILITY TO REACH MORE PEOPLE. NATURE-RICH COMMUNITY: THE NEWEST OF THE ODC BUSINESS DIVISIONS, NATURE-RICH IS AN INITIATIVE THAT WAS DEVELOPED TO PROMOTE A SYSTEMS-BASED SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM TO ADVANCE NOT ONLY ODC NETWORK'S INTERNAL SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS, BUT ALSO TO PROMOTE SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH THE COMMUNITY. 15687162 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 16 0 404 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 16 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MI X X X TRAVIS WILLIAMS 6163939453 A-4214 56TH STREET HOLLAND MI 49423 TRAVIS WILLIAMS CEO 50.00 X 241000 0 22827 JOHN VINCENT CHIEF OF EARLY CHILDHOOD E 40.00 X 135000 0 18403 JAMES KRUPKA CHIEF OF INTERPRETATION 40.00 X 132500 0 18326 JAMES OOSTING VP OF OPERATIONS 40.00 X 127500 0 15031 JAYNE MACOMBER CFO 40.00 X 108769 0 17216 NICK REISTER PRESIDENT 50.00 X X 0 0 0 JOE DYKHUIS VICE PRESIDENT 2.00 X X 0 0 0 JENNA TERRHORST SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 MATT ORAZEM TREASURER 2.00 X X 0 0 0 ERIC DE WITT PAST PRESIDENT 1.00 X 0 0 0 ALISON MILLER TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 CASEY MARIETTA TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 CJ ELLENS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 HAR YE KAN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 KEVIN NASH TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 KYLE GEENAN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 LAURIE SCHMITT TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 MICKI JANSSEN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROD SMITH TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARTY AMON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 TODD REED TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 744769 0 91803 5 0 1 0 0 287004 2060385 6489706 2092871 8837095 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS 900099 9253309 9253309 9253309 38512 38512 33239 0 33239 33239 33239 235000 347618 -112618 -112618 -112618 24231 287004 144402 -120171 -120171 MITIGATION CREDIT REVENUE 900099 228700 228700 228700 18158066 9482009 0 -161038 836572 709580 81399 45593 9597780 8140834 933863 523083 289093 245209 28129 15755 728947 618294 70926 39727 766085 649793 74541 41751 125091 125091 49282 49282 351362 201899 121538 27925 110807 99726 11081 118790 87589 15521 15680 306357 297166 6126 3065 74918 66573 2086 6259 39061 33349 1428 4284 526244 526244 668998 644148 24850 196939 174780 19566 2593 CONSERVATION/COMM PROJE 1154522 1154522 PROGRAM SUPPLIES 1144159 1136991 7168 PROJECTS AND SERVICES 679600 679600 DUES AND MEMBERSHIPS 532351 308764 212938 10649 558699 438345 115800 4554 18855657 15687162 2427577 740918 574921 302826 2490846 1709325 119320 44869 436827 346380 28246360 3636860 22429677 24609500 422668 481803 244664 225776 26718923 27720479 545606 761367 1919409 1564758 7235238 10205705 1893670 729334 11593923 13261164 X 12570181 11830498 2554819 2628817 15125000 14459315 26718923 27720479 -697591 31906 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 5064388 5362418 5947435 11160938 8837095 36372274 5064388 5362418 5947435 11160938 8837095 36372274 2418775 33953499 35570 6772 110413 48955 71751 273461 444395 662100 546811 807999 228700 2690005 39335740 0.86320 0.84910 X SCHEDULE A, PART II, LINE 10, EXPLANATION OF OTHER INCOME: MITIGATION CREDIT REVENUE - 2021 AMOUNT: $ 444,395. 2022 AMOUNT: $ 662,100. 2023 AMOUNT: $ 546,811. 2024 AMOUNT: $ 807,999. 2025 AMOUNT: $ 228,700.
