Mission

TO CONSERVE THE UNIQUE CHARACTER OF TENNESSEE'S NATURAL AND HISTORIC LANDSCAPES AND SITES FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

Activities or mission (Part I)

CONSERVATION OF UNIQUE CHARACTER OF TENNESSEE'S NATURAL & HISTORIC LANDSCAPES & SITES

  • CONSERVATION SUCCESS: DURING FISCAL YEAR 2023, THE ORGANIZATION COMPLETED 13 PROJECTS, PROTECTING 991 ADDITIONAL ACRES OF LAND IN TENNESSEE. ELEVEN OF THESE PROPERTIES WERE PROTECTED WITH CONSERVATION EASEMENTS, THE ORGANIZATION'S PRIMARY TOOL FOR CONSERVING LAND, ONE WAS AN OUTRIGHT DONATION OF LAND, AND ONE WAS AN AMENDMENT TO ADD 27 ACRES OF LAND TO AN EXISTING CONSERVATION EASEMENT. EIGHT OF THESE 13 PROJECTS ARE LOCATED IN ONE OF THE ORGANIZATION'S TEN CONSERVATION OPPORTUNITY REGIONS (CORS), WHICH ARE THE PRIORITY AREAS ESTABLISHED THROUGH THE ORGANIZATION'S STRATEGIC CONSERVATION PLAN, FOREVER TENNESSEE. THE PERMANENT PROTECTION OF THESE PROPERTIES RESULTED IN THE PRESERVATION OF 5.4 MILES OF PUBLIC ROAD FRONTAGE AS WELL AS 5.4 MILES OF TENNESSEE'S RIVERS AND STREAMS. AT THE END OF FY23, THE ORGANIZATION HAD PROTECTED A TOTAL OF 134,156 ACRES OF LAND THROUGH 450 PROJECTS. STEWARDSHIP: THE ORGANIZATION COMPLETED 100% OF ITS ANNUAL MONITORING IN FY23 THROUGH BOTH IN-PERSON VISITS AND THROUGH SATELLITE IMAGERY. THIS INCLUDES 557 ON-THE-GROUND VISITS COMPLETED BETWEEN APRIL 2022-MARCH 2023 AND 47 VISITS COMPLETED USING SATELLITE IMAGERY. (DUE TO TIMING OF FISCAL YEAR, SOME PROPERTIES WERE VISITED TWICE DURING THIS PERIOD). MONITORING IS A CRITICAL PART OF THE ORGANIZATION'S COMMITMENT TO UPHOLD ITS PROMISE OF PROTECTING LAND IN PERPETUITY. THE ORGANIZATION'S STEWARDSHIP STAFF ALSO HANDLED HUNDREDS OF OTHER STEWARDSHIP ITEMS INCLUDING ACTIVITY REQUESTS, APPROVALS, EASEMENT INTERPRETATIONS, AND PROPERTY TRANSFERS. THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUED TO INVEST IN ITS STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM BY ADDING AN ADDITIONAL STAFF POSITION TO THE DEPARTMENT-- A STEWARDSHIP FIELD COORDINATOR. FUNDRAISING SUCCESS: THE ORGANIZATION HAD A STRONG FUNDRAISING YEAR AND WAS ABLE TO MEET ITS ANNUAL FUNDRAISING GOALS. THE ORGANIZATION INCREASED FUNDRAISING EVENT REVENUE, EXCEEDING ITS GOALS FOR ONCE IN A BLUE MOON EVENT IN OCTOBER 2022 AND CONTINUING TO DEVELOP NEWER EVENTS INCLUDING MUSIC ON THE FARM IN JUNE 2022 AND FOREVER TENNESSEE IN MARCH 2023. THESE EVENTS PROVIDED ADDITIONAL REVENUE SOURCES AND DONOR CULTIVATION OPPORTUNITIES. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO ACHIEVED ITS HIGHEST UNRESTRICTED REVENUE TO DATE, RAISING OVER $1,045,000 TO SUPPORT ITS CONSERVATION WORK ACROSS THE STATE.OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT: IN ADDITION TO UTILIZING OUTREACH METHODS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA, E-NEWSLETTERS, AND OTHER VIRTUAL PLATFORMS, THE ORGANIZATION ENGAGED IN-PERSON AUDIENCES BY ATTENDING AND PRESENTING AT CONFERENCES, TABLING EVENTS, AND HOSTING PROGRAMS AND VOLUNTEER EVENTS AT GLEN LEVEN FARM. THIS INCLUDES FREE MONTHLY COMMUNITY DAYS, VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS AND COMPANIES, AND FIELD STUDIES FOR GRADES K-2.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
