Mission and programs · 2025

• STEWARDSHIP: Funds were used for lumber, screws, bolts and treads to replace deteriorate bog bridging and build a new bridge on our Candlewood Ridge property. About 140 saplings and steel cages were purchased for and installed on the Sheep Farm South property where invasive vegetation removal was recently done. A private contractor was paid to perform field mowing at several properties. Stewardship of all preserves was performed including installation of signage, invasive control, routine mowing and purchase of small tools.

  Expenses $13,203

• MISSION OUTREACH: Funds were used to create documentaries about GOSA's mission to educate the public about wildlife and the environment. Flyers were created and printed to inform members and the community about GOSA's properties, the benefits of being outdoors, and community hikes hosted by GOSA.

  Expenses $13,152

• COMMUNITY OUTREACH: Buses were provided to transport young children to our properties where they were led on hikes to experience nature. Students in grades K-3 from Groton Public Schools and campers from the Groton Parks and Recreation summer camp program benefited from this program. A movable trail counter was purchased and initially installed at Sheep Farm North to record the number of hikers using the property.

  Expenses $5,795

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
