Mission and programs · 2024

• LAND PROTECTION: IN 2024 MRG CONTINUED TO WORK ON LAND PROJECTS THAT WE HOPE WILL LEAD TO MORE PROTECTED LAND IN THE FUTURE. MRG ALSO CONTINUED HABITAT RESTORATION WORK ON MANY OF THE LANDS ACQUIRED IN PREVIOUS YEARS INCLUDING INVASIVE SPECIES REMOVAL, REPLANTING OF NATIVE SPECIES, AND PROTECTION OF RARE PLANT COMMUNITIES. RESEARCH & EDUCATION: RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIP PROGRAM (RAP) OFFERS FUNDING FOR GRADUATE-LEVEL RESEARCH IN THE FIELDS OF ECOLOGY AND CONSERVATION. EACH RAP RECIPIENT RECEIVES A YEARLY STIPEND OF 5000 FOR THREE YEARS TOWARD A SPECIFIC PROJECT ADDRESSING AN ECOLOGICAL QUESTION THAT AFFECTS MRG. RAP RECIPIENTS ALSO MENTOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN OUR WTP PROGRAM.

OUR WILDLIFE TECHNICIAN PROGRAM (WTP) OFFERS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM THE REGION THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONDUCT A 2.5-YEAR (FROM 10TH GRADE TO 12TH GRADE) RESEARCH STUDY UNDER THE MENTORSHIP OF OUR STAFF AND RAP STUDENTS. THE PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED TO COMPLEMENT THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SCIENCE RESEARCH IN THE HIGH SCHOOL (SRHS) CURRICULUM AND PROVIDES ACCESS TO SCIENTIFIC MENTORS, HANDS-ON FIELD EXPERIENCE, AND IMMERSION INTO REAL- WORLD CONSERVATION PROBLEMS FACING SUBURBAN ECOSYSTEMS. IN 2024, MRG MENTORED 12 WTP STUDENTS ACROSS 10TH TO 12TH GRADE.

SPECIFIC TOPICS INCLUDED VERNAL POOLS IN SPRING LANDSCAPES; THE OLD-GROWTH FOREST; BIRDING; OWL BIOLOGY; AND WINTER TREE ID. STEWARDSHIP: WE WORKED ON STEWARDING THE TRAIL SYSTEM BY DESIGNING AN EASY LOOP TRAIL AND RESTORING THE ICONIC HAVEMEYER FALLS TRAIL IN 2024. MRG SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED A FOREST RESTORATION PROJECT THAT INCLUDED REMOVING INVASIVE SPECIES AND ERECTING DEER EXCLOSURES TO PROTECT THE FOREST FLOOR FROM HUNGRY DEER. MIANUS RIVER GORGE SYSTEMATICALLY FOLLOWS A LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN THAT DIVIDES PROTECTED LAND INTO MANAGEMENT UNITS, EACH WITH A SPECIFIC STRATEGY BASED ON PHENOLOGY AND HABITAT TYPE.

  Expenses $755,650 · Revenue $17,350

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 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. 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. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
