Fifteen volunteer workdays were held involving over three hundred people. Activities primarily included picking up litter, cleaning and repairing amenities, painting, weeding, and mulching, watering, trimming, and planting trees. Six Eagle and Gold Award scout projects were completed in 2023. These included the installation of an orchestra in the park program, a pollinator garden, two little libraries, the repairing of trails and planting of trees. Conservancy members also contributed thousands of hours on repairs, eliminating graffiti and illegal dumping, security, and organizing workdays, scout projects, and community events.
Expenses $83,669

Accessibility projects were prioritized and are in progress, expected to be completed in 2024. They include construction of eight miles of ADA all weather trails, four new parking areas, five safe street crossings, and fifty wayfinding signs. Projects to add over 1000 trees and fifty new benches/tables along trails are also in progress in 2023-2024. Slated for completion in 2025-2026 are restrooms, the environmentally sensitive development of the fifteen-acre Native Prairie Preserve with a boardwalk and educational signage, and an outside connection to Brays and Sims Bayou trails.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
