| Desc | LAND ACQUISITION/PROTECTION COLORADO GULCH ADDITION IN NOVEMBER 2016, THE WOOD RIVER LAND TRUST (WRLT) ACQUIRED 150 ACRES OF LAND AT COLORADO GULCH AND OPENED IT TO THE PUBLIC. IN 2018, WE WERE ABLE TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL 9 ACRES TO THE PRESERVE, PROVIDING MORE ACCESS TO THIS POPULAR RECREATIONAL AREA AND INCLUDING A SITE SUITABLE FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES. THE PROPERTY LIES JUST SOUTH OF OUR DRAPER WOOD RIVER PRESERVE AND HEAGLE PARK AND IS CONTIGUOUS WITH THE EXISTING HAILEY GREENWAY-WHICH NOW INCLUDES NEARLY A MILE OF RIVERFRONT ALONG THE BIG WOOD RIVER. THE HAILEY GREENWAY IS AN AMAZING PLACE TO VISIT AND CONNECT WITH NATURE. WITH THE 159 ADDITIONAL ACRES OF OUR COLORADO GULCH PRESERVE, THE HAILEY GREENWAY PROVIDES AN IMPORTANT PLACE FOR WILDLIFE AND RECREATION TO COEXIST JUST ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN. VORBERG GULCH ACQUISITION IN 2018, WRLT ACQUIRED A 16-ACRE PARCEL CALLED VORBERG GULCH. THIS PROPERTY IS AT THE MOUTH OF THE GULCH AND IS WITHIN AN IMPORTANT WILDLIFE CORRIDOR LEADING INTO CROY CANYON AND TOWARD THE HAILEY GREENWAY VIA THE FUTURE SIMONS/BAUER PRESERVE (SEE BELOW). THE PROPERTY WAS LISTED FOR SALE FOR DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES. WRLT ACQUIRED IT TO HOLD FOR CONSERVATION PURPOSES. CROY CANYON PROTECTION - FUTURE SIMONS/BAUER PRESERVE IN 2018, WRLT ENTERED INTO A PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT WITH THE SIMONS/BAUER FAMILY FOR 118 ACRES OF LAND IN CROY CANYON. THIS ACQUISITION WILL PROTECT THE MOUTH OF CROY CANYON AND 1 MILE OF CROY CREEK AS IT FEEDS INTO THE BIG WOOD RIVER. EXPENSES INCURRED IN THIS FISCAL YEAR INCLUDED DUE DILIGENCE EXPENSES TO MOVE THE ACQUISITION FORWARD. WE ANTICIPATE CLOSING ON THE PROPERTY IN FY 19-20. ROCK CREEK RANCH ROCK CREEK RANCH, ENCOMPASSING 10,394 ACRES, IS ONE OF THE LARGEST UNDEVELOPED PROPERTIES IN THE BIG WOOD RIVER WATERSHED. IT WAS CONSERVED FOR WILDLIFE, CLEAN WATER AND PUBLIC ACCESS THANKS TO THE EFFORTS OF LOCAL LANDOWNERS, PUBLIC AGENCIES AND COMMUNITY GROUPS. IN JUNE 2016, WE PARTNERED WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO'S RANGELAND CENTER AND THE NATURE CONSERVANCY TO GROW ROCK CREEK RANCH INTO A WORLD-CLASS LIVING LABORATORY THAT SHOWCASES THE INTERSECTION OF CONSERVATION, RANGELAND MANAGEMENT, RECREATION, RESEARCH AND EDUCATION. THE ENTIRE ROCK CREEK DRAINAGE LIES SOUTHWEST OF HAILEY AND CONSISTS OF HIGH-QUALITY SAGEBRUSH-STEPPE HABITAT, ASPEN FOREST AND RIVER TERRAIN. THE PROTECTION OF THE AREA ALIGNS WITH STATE AND FEDERAL EFFORTS TO CONSERVE SAGE-GROUSE THROUGH LANDSCAPE-SCALE HABITAT IMPROVEMENTS. THE PROJECT EXPANDS THE BIRDS' PROTECTED HABITAT IN CENTRAL IDAHO'S PIONEER MOUNTAIN CRATERS OF THE MOON AREA TO OVER 80,000 ACRES. ROCK CREEK IS TRULY A SPECIAL SPOT. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO OTHER RESEARCH CENTER LIKE IT IN THE STATE. LONG VALUED FOR ITS BENEFITS TO PEOPLE AND NATURE, ROCK CREEK RANCH WILL CONTINUE TO BE CONSERVED FOR SAGE -GROUSE AND MANAGED FOR RESEARCH AND PUBLIC USE. IN 2018, THE RANCH WAS RENAMED "RINKER ROCK CREEK RANCH" TO RECOGNIZE THE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION HARRY RINKER MADE IN THE CONSERVATION OF THE PROPERTY. WE CONTINUED WITH STREAM RESTORATION PROJECTS AT RINKER ROCK CREEK RANCH AND IMPROVED IRRIGATION SYSTEMS FOR BETTER WATER MANAGEMENT FOR SAGE GROUSE HABITAT (TO BE ABLE TO FLOOD IRRIGATE WET MEADOWS USED BY SAGE GROUSE) AS WELL AS ALLOWING FOR OFF-STREAM WATERING OF CATTLE. WE ALSO WORKED WITH PARTNERS TO REMOVE BARBED WIRE FENCING THAT CAN HINDER WILDLIFE MIGRATION. WE REPLACED THIS FENCING WITH WILDLIFE FRIENDLY LET-DOWN FENCING THAT ALLOWS FOR BETTER WILDLIFE MOVEMENT THROUGH THE PROPERTY AND BETTER CATTLE MANAGEMENT. IN ALL, 10 MILES OF BARBED WIRE FENCE WERE REPLACED WITH WILDLIFE FRIENDLY FENCING AND AN ADDITIONAL 7 MILES OF NEW WILDLIFE FRIENDLY FENCING WAS INSTALLED. ON MARCH 22, 2018, WRLT AND THE NATURE CONSERVANCY ENTERED INTO AN EXCLUSIVE LEASE-OPTION AGREEMENT WITH THE BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO THAT CALLS FOR THE UNIVERSITY TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THE RINKER ROCK CREEK RANCH PROPERTY. THE INITIAL LEASE TERM IS FOR 99 YEARS, WITH LEASE RENEWAL TERMS OF 10 YEARS EACH. WRLT'S SHARE OF THE TOTAL RENT FOR THE LEASE IN THE AMOUNT OF 1,220,888 WAS RECEIVED ON CLOSING. THE AGREEMENT PROVIDES AN OPTION TO THE UNIVERSITY FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY FOR 100, EXERCISABLE AT ANY TIME DURING THE LEASE OR LEASE RENEWAL TERMS. CONTROL OF THE PROPERTY WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE UNIVERSITY WHICH IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COSTS AND EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE OWNERSHIP AND OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY. THE LEASE WAS DETERMINED TO BE A SALES-TYPE AGREEMENT UNDER GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. THE REMAINING BOOK VALUE OF THE LAND TRANSFERRED OF 6,702,500 WAS ACCOUNTED FOR AS A PROGRAM EXPENSE AND THE AMOUNT RECEIVED UPON EXECUTION OF THE LEASE WAS ACCOUNTED FOR AS REVENUE. VALLEY CREEK PRESERVE SINCE THE ACQUISITION OF THIS ICONIC RIPARIAN PROPERTY IN THE HEART OF STANLEY, IDAHO, THE WOOD RIVER LAND TRUST HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STAKEHOLDERS TO IDENTIFY INTERPRETATIVE AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE PROPERTY. IN 2018, WRLT CONTINUED TO WORK WITH THE CITY OF STANLEY ON MANAGEMENT OF THE PRESERVE AND ALSO INSTALLED A KIOSK ON-SITE WITH INTERPRETIVE SIGNAGE. PIONEERS ALLIANCE WRLT STAFF'S COLLABORATIVE WORK WITH THE PIONEERS ALLIANCE HAS BROUGHT TOGETHER RANCHERS AND PROPERTY OWNERS TO PROTECT APPROXIMATELY 90,000 ACRES IN THE PIONEER MOUNTAINS-CRATERS OF THE MOON LANDSCAPE THROUGH THE NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE'S AGRICULTURAL LANDS EASEMENT PROGRAM. IN 2018, THE LAND TRUST CONTINUED TO COLLECT INFORMATION ON GREATER SAGE- GROUSE POPULATIONS AND WORKED WITH LANDOWNERS TO IMPROVE THAT HABITAT. | Desc |

| Desc | RIVER HEALTH AND RESTORATION WOOD RIVER LAND TRUST AND TROUT UNLIMITED (TU), IN COLLABORATION WITH A VARIETY OF AGENCY AND PRIVATE PARTNERS, ARE WORKING TO RESTORE THE GLORY OF THE GREAT WESTERN TROUT FISHERY, THE BIG WOOD RIVER. BASED ON THE 2016 STUDY, ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL TO RESTORE DYNAMIC FLUVIAL CONDITIONS THE WRLT AND PARTNERS HAVE BEEN PROVIDING INPUT ON STREAM ALTERATION PERMITS SUBMITTED IN BLAINE COUNTY AND THE CITY OF KETCHUM. THESE PERMITS ARE FOR LANDOWNERS WHO WISH TO ALTER THE RIVER TO ALLEVIATE FLOOD DAMAGE ON THEIR PROPERTY. WE COMMENT ON THESE PERMITS TO STRIVE FOR A BALANCE OF PROTECTING EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND PROTECTING THE RIVER'S HEALTH BY EDUCATING LANDOWNERS ON BEST PRACTICES FOR STREAM REHABILITATION. IN EARLY 2018, THE WRLT BEGAN PARTNERING WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO PLAN AND CONDUCT STREAM RESTORATION ON THE BIG WOOD RIVER JUST NORTH OF KETCHUM. THE STREAM RESTORATION DESIGN WILL BENEFIT OVER 2,000 FEET OF RIVER WHILE PROTECTING THE HULEN MEADOWS POND, WHICH IS A POPULAR RECREATIONAL AREA FOR COUNTY RESIDENTS. THE STREAM RESTORATION WILL BENEFIT LOCAL FISH POPULATIONS, IMPROVE RIVER HEALTH, STABILIZE STREAM BANKS, AND ALLEVIATE SEDIMENT LOAD DOWNSTREAM. THE PROJECT IS FINISHED WITH THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND WE ARE CURRENTLY BOLSTERING PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE BLM AND OTHER PUBLIC AGENCIES AS WELL AS LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING SOURCES. WRLT ALSO CONTINUED WORKING WITH THE CITY OF HAILEY, BLAINE COUNTY, AND THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT 9 TO MOVE THE US ARMY CORPS SECTION 206 PROJECT FORWARD TO EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY OF THE RESTORATION OF LIONS PARK AT THE HAILEY GREENWAY. THE GOAL OF THIS MULTI-YEAR PROJECT IS TO RESTORE FLOODPLAIN CONNECTIVITY AND FUNCTION AND MITIGATE FLOODING THAT OCCURS IN COMMUNITIES DOWNSTREAM BECAUSE OF DEGRADED RIVER FUNCTION. WOOD RIVER WATER COLLABORATIVE TOGETHER WITH OUR PARTNERS AT TROUT UNLIMITED AND THE NATURE CONSERVANCY, WOOD RIVER LAND TRUST CONTINUES TO HELP FACILITATE THE WOOD RIVER WATER COLLABORATIVE (WRWC). THERE ARE 75 PARTNERS IN THE COLLABORATIVE REPRESENTING DIVERSE INTERESTS INCLUDING: SENIOR AND JUNIOR WATER USERS, AGRICULTURE, GROUNDWATER DISTRICTS, MUNICIPALITIES, STATE LEGISLATORS, THE IDAHO DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES, THE IDAHO WATER RESOURCE BOARD, COUNTY AND STATE AGENCIES AND OTHER NON-PROFITS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE WRWC IS TO ENSURE SUSTAINABLE WATER USE FOR FARMING AND RANCHING; TO PRESERVE SAFE, CLEAN DRINKING WATER TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE WOOD RIVER WATERSHEDS; AND TO CONSERVE RIPARIAN AND RIVER HABITAT FOR FISH AND WILDLIFE THAT RELY ON THE BIG WOOD RIVER, SILVER CREEK, LITTLE WOOD RIVER AND THEIR TRIBUTARIES. THIS YEAR, WE CONTINUED TO WORK WITH WRWC PARTNERS TO DEVELOP A TOOL THAT COULD ALLOW IRRIGATORS TO KNOW THE PROBABILITY OF WHEN THEY WILL HAVE TO SHUT OFF WATER USE BY THEIR WATER RIGHT DATE. THIS TOOL USES SURFACE FLOW, SNOW WATER EQUIVALENT, SNOW WATER SURFACE INDEX, AND GROUND WATER LEVELS TO MAKE THESE PREDICTIONS. THIS WILL ALLOW IRRIGATORS TO PLAN CROP PRODUCTION MORE EFFICIENTLY. THE TOOL IS NOT FINALIZED BUT WE ARE EXPLORING FUNDING TO FINE TUNE IT AND REFINE OUR ABILITY TO MAKE THESE PREDICTIONS. BAUGH CREEK RESTORATION TOGETHER WITH PARTNERS AT TROUT UNLIMITED, THE NATURE CONSERVANCY, AND US FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, THE WRLT PARTICIPATED IN RESTORATION PROJECTS ON BAUGH CREEK TO HELP WITH STREAM HABITAT RESTORATION AFTER THE SHARPS FIRE. TROUT FRIENDLY THE TROUT FRIENDLY (TF) PROGRAM IS IN ITS 13THTH YEAR OF PROMOTING WATER CONSERVATION, SOIL HEALTH AND NATIVE PLANT USE WITH FREE EVENTS AND LANDSCAPE SIGNS THAT DEMONSTRATE THESE VALUES. THIS WAS THE SECOND YEAR THE PROGRAM HOSTED A RESILIENT LANDSCAPES FOR RESILIENT COMMUNITIES WORKSHOP SERIES. THESE SEMINARS INCLUDED THE ANNUAL WEED MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP, WHICH IS INTENDED FOR INDUSTRY LEADERS WHO CAN ALSO RECEIVE CREDITS FROM BLAINE COUNTY FOR WEED MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATION. THE SEMINARS PROVIDED COMMUNITY MEMBERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE LANDSCAPE PROFESSIONALS HELP THEM DESIGN THEIR OWN TROUT FRIENDLY LANDSCAPES. WRLT PARTNERED WITH THE CITIES OF HAILEY, KETCHUM AND SUN VALLEY TO PROVIDE THESE OUTREACH EVENTS COVERING TOPICS FROM IRRIGATION EFFICIENCIES TO SOIL HEALTH TO USE OF NATIVES AND DROUGHT-TOLERANT PLANTS TO HELP WITH WATER CONSERVATION. WRLT ALSO PARTNERED WITH THE CITY OF HAILEY FOR IMPLEMENTING WATER CONSERVATION GRANTS FROM THE BUREAU OF RECLAMATION AND THE WATER RESOURCE BOARD. CITIZENS OF HAILEY RECEIVE REBATES FOR REMOVING GRASS/TURF. REBATES ARE DEPENDENT ON PARTICIPANTS ATTENDING A RESILIENT LANDSCAPES FOR RESILIENT COMMUNITIES SEMINAR. THIS IS A STRONG PARTNERSHIP FOR MESSAGING AND BUILDING A WATER CONSERVATION ETHIC WITHIN THE LANDSCAPE. | Desc |

| FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION | THE WOOD RIVER LAND TRUST PROTECTS AND RESTORES LAND, WATER, AND WILDLIFE HABITAT IN THE WOOD RIVER VALLEY AND ITS SURROUNDING AREAS. WE WORK COOPERATIVELY WITH PRIVATE LANDOWNERS AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES TO ENSURE THESE AREAS ARE PROTECTED NOW AND FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. SEE ATTACHED NARRATIVE FOR FURTHER DETAIL |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | LAND ACQUISITION/PROTECTION COLORADO GULCH ADDITION IN NOVEMBER 2016, THE WOOD RIVER LAND TRUST (WRLT) ACQUIRED 150 ACRES OF LAND AT COLORADO GULCH AND OPENED IT TO THE PUBLIC. IN 2018, WE WERE ABLE TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL 9 ACRES TO THE PRESERVE, PROVIDING MORE ACCESS TO THIS POPULAR RECREATIONAL AREA AND INCLUDING A SITE SUITABLE FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES. THE PROPERTY LIES JUST SOUTH OF OUR DRAPER WOOD RIVER PRESERVE AND HEAGLE PARK AND IS CONTIGUOUS WITH THE EXISTING HAILEY GREENWAY-WHICH NOW INCLUDES NEARLY A MILE OF RIVERFRONT ALONG THE BIG WOOD RIVER. THE HAILEY GREENWAY IS AN AMAZING PLACE TO VISIT AND CONNECT WITH NATURE. WITH THE 159 ADDITIONAL ACRES OF OUR COLORADO GULCH PRESERVE, THE HAILEY GREENWAY PROVIDES AN IMPORTANT PLACE FOR WILDLIFE AND RECREATION TO COEXIST JUST ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF TOWN. VORBERG GULCH ACQUISITION IN 2018, WRLT ACQUIRED A 16-ACRE PARCEL CALLED VORBERG GULCH. THIS PROPERTY IS AT THE MOUTH OF THE GULCH AND IS WITHIN AN IMPORTANT WILDLIFE CORRIDOR LEADING INTO CROY CANYON AND TOWARD THE HAILEY GREENWAY VIA THE FUTURE SIMONS/BAUER PRESERVE (SEE BELOW). THE PROPERTY WAS LISTED FOR SALE FOR DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES. WRLT ACQUIRED IT TO HOLD FOR CONSERVATION PURPOSES. CROY CANYON PROTECTION - FUTURE SIMONS/BAUER PRESERVE IN 2018, WRLT ENTERED INTO A PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT WITH THE SIMONS/BAUER FAMILY FOR 118 ACRES OF LAND IN CROY CANYON. THIS ACQUISITION WILL PROTECT THE MOUTH OF CROY CANYON AND 1 MILE OF CROY CREEK AS IT FEEDS INTO THE BIG WOOD RIVER. EXPENSES INCURRED IN THIS FISCAL YEAR INCLUDED DUE DILIGENCE EXPENSES TO MOVE THE ACQUISITION FORWARD. WE ANTICIPATE CLOSING ON THE PROPERTY IN FY 19-20. ROCK CREEK RANCH ROCK CREEK RANCH, ENCOMPASSING 10,394 ACRES, IS ONE OF THE LARGEST UNDEVELOPED PROPERTIES IN THE BIG WOOD RIVER WATERSHED. IT WAS CONSERVED FOR WILDLIFE, CLEAN WATER AND PUBLIC ACCESS THANKS TO THE EFFORTS OF LOCAL LANDOWNERS, PUBLIC AGENCIES AND COMMUNITY GROUPS. IN JUNE 2016, WE PARTNERED WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO'S RANGELAND CENTER AND THE NATURE CONSERVANCY TO GROW ROCK CREEK RANCH INTO A WORLD-CLASS LIVING LABORATORY THAT SHOWCASES THE INTERSECTION OF CONSERVATION, RANGELAND MANAGEMENT, RECREATION, RESEARCH AND EDUCATION. THE ENTIRE ROCK CREEK DRAINAGE LIES SOUTHWEST OF HAILEY AND CONSISTS OF HIGH-QUALITY SAGEBRUSH-STEPPE HABITAT, ASPEN FOREST AND RIVER TERRAIN. THE PROTECTION OF THE AREA ALIGNS WITH STATE AND FEDERAL EFFORTS TO CONSERVE SAGE-GROUSE THROUGH LANDSCAPE-SCALE HABITAT IMPROVEMENTS. THE PROJECT EXPANDS THE BIRDS' PROTECTED HABITAT IN CENTRAL IDAHO'S PIONEER MOUNTAIN CRATERS OF THE MOON AREA TO OVER 80,000 ACRES. ROCK CREEK IS TRULY A SPECIAL SPOT. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO OTHER RESEARCH CENTER LIKE IT IN THE STATE. LONG VALUED FOR ITS BENEFITS TO PEOPLE AND NATURE, ROCK CREEK RANCH WILL CONTINUE TO BE CONSERVED FOR SAGE -GROUSE AND MANAGED FOR RESEARCH AND PUBLIC USE. IN 2018, THE RANCH WAS RENAMED "RINKER ROCK CREEK RANCH" TO RECOGNIZE THE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION HARRY RINKER MADE IN THE CONSERVATION OF THE PROPERTY. WE CONTINUED WITH STREAM RESTORATION PROJECTS AT RINKER ROCK CREEK RANCH AND IMPROVED IRRIGATION SYSTEMS FOR BETTER WATER MANAGEMENT FOR SAGE GROUSE HABITAT (TO BE ABLE TO FLOOD IRRIGATE WET MEADOWS USED BY SAGE GROUSE) AS WELL AS ALLOWING FOR OFF-STREAM WATERING OF CATTLE. WE ALSO WORKED WITH PARTNERS TO REMOVE BARBED WIRE FENCING THAT CAN HINDER WILDLIFE MIGRATION. WE REPLACED THIS FENCING WITH WILDLIFE FRIENDLY LET-DOWN FENCING THAT ALLOWS FOR BETTER WILDLIFE MOVEMENT THROUGH THE PROPERTY AND BETTER CATTLE MANAGEMENT. IN ALL, 10 MILES OF BARBED WIRE FENCE WERE REPLACED WITH WILDLIFE FRIENDLY FENCING AND AN ADDITIONAL 7 MILES OF NEW WILDLIFE FRIENDLY FENCING WAS INSTALLED. ON MARCH 22, 2018, WRLT AND THE NATURE CONSERVANCY ENTERED INTO AN EXCLUSIVE LEASE-OPTION AGREEMENT WITH THE BOARD OF REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO THAT CALLS FOR THE UNIVERSITY TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THE RINKER ROCK CREEK RANCH PROPERTY. THE INITIAL LEASE TERM IS FOR 99 YEARS, WITH LEASE RENEWAL TERMS OF 10 YEARS EACH. WRLT'S SHARE OF THE TOTAL RENT FOR THE LEASE IN THE AMOUNT OF 1,220,888 WAS RECEIVED ON CLOSING. THE AGREEMENT PROVIDES AN OPTION TO THE UNIVERSITY FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY FOR 100, EXERCISABLE AT ANY TIME DURING THE LEASE OR LEASE RENEWAL TERMS. CONTROL OF THE PROPERTY WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE UNIVERSITY WHICH IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COSTS AND EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH THE OWNERSHIP AND OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY. THE LEASE WAS DETERMINED TO BE A SALES-TYPE AGREEMENT UNDER GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES. THE REMAINING BOOK VALUE OF THE LAND TRANSFERRED OF 6,702,500 WAS ACCOUNTED FOR AS A PROGRAM EXPENSE AND THE AMOUNT RECEIVED UPON EXECUTION OF THE LEASE WAS ACCOUNTED FOR AS REVENUE. VALLEY CREEK PRESERVE SINCE THE ACQUISITION OF THIS ICONIC RIPARIAN PROPERTY IN THE HEART OF STANLEY, IDAHO, THE WOOD RIVER LAND TRUST HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STAKEHOLDERS TO IDENTIFY INTERPRETATIVE AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE PROPERTY. IN 2018, WRLT CONTINUED TO WORK WITH THE CITY OF STANLEY ON MANAGEMENT OF THE PRESERVE AND ALSO INSTALLED A KIOSK ON-SITE WITH INTERPRETIVE SIGNAGE. PIONEERS ALLIANCE WRLT STAFF'S COLLABORATIVE WORK WITH THE PIONEERS ALLIANCE HAS BROUGHT TOGETHER RANCHERS AND PROPERTY OWNERS TO PROTECT APPROXIMATELY 90,000 ACRES IN THE PIONEER MOUNTAINS-CRATERS OF THE MOON LANDSCAPE THROUGH THE NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE'S AGRICULTURAL LANDS EASEMENT PROGRAM. IN 2018, THE LAND TRUST CONTINUED TO COLLECT INFORMATION ON GREATER SAGE- GROUSE POPULATIONS AND WORKED WITH LANDOWNERS TO IMPROVE THAT HABITAT. |
| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B | RIVER HEALTH AND RESTORATION WOOD RIVER LAND TRUST AND TROUT UNLIMITED (TU), IN COLLABORATION WITH A VARIETY OF AGENCY AND PRIVATE PARTNERS, ARE WORKING TO RESTORE THE GLORY OF THE GREAT WESTERN TROUT FISHERY, THE BIG WOOD RIVER. BASED ON THE 2016 STUDY, ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL TO RESTORE DYNAMIC FLUVIAL CONDITIONS THE WRLT AND PARTNERS HAVE BEEN PROVIDING INPUT ON STREAM ALTERATION PERMITS SUBMITTED IN BLAINE COUNTY AND THE CITY OF KETCHUM. THESE PERMITS ARE FOR LANDOWNERS WHO WISH TO ALTER THE RIVER TO ALLEVIATE FLOOD DAMAGE ON THEIR PROPERTY. WE COMMENT ON THESE PERMITS TO STRIVE FOR A BALANCE OF PROTECTING EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND PROTECTING THE RIVER'S HEALTH BY EDUCATING LANDOWNERS ON BEST PRACTICES FOR STREAM REHABILITATION. IN EARLY 2018, THE WRLT BEGAN PARTNERING WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO PLAN AND CONDUCT STREAM RESTORATION ON THE BIG WOOD RIVER JUST NORTH OF KETCHUM. THE STREAM RESTORATION DESIGN WILL BENEFIT OVER 2,000 FEET OF RIVER WHILE PROTECTING THE HULEN MEADOWS POND, WHICH IS A POPULAR RECREATIONAL AREA FOR COUNTY RESIDENTS. THE STREAM RESTORATION WILL BENEFIT LOCAL FISH POPULATIONS, IMPROVE RIVER HEALTH, STABILIZE STREAM BANKS, AND ALLEVIATE SEDIMENT LOAD DOWNSTREAM. THE PROJECT IS FINISHED WITH THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND WE ARE CURRENTLY BOLSTERING PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE BLM AND OTHER PUBLIC AGENCIES AS WELL AS LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING SOURCES. WRLT ALSO CONTINUED WORKING WITH THE CITY OF HAILEY, BLAINE COUNTY, AND THE FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT 9 TO MOVE THE US ARMY CORPS SECTION 206 PROJECT FORWARD TO EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY OF THE RESTORATION OF LIONS PARK AT THE HAILEY GREENWAY. THE GOAL OF THIS MULTI-YEAR PROJECT IS TO RESTORE FLOODPLAIN CONNECTIVITY AND FUNCTION AND MITIGATE FLOODING THAT OCCURS IN COMMUNITIES DOWNSTREAM BECAUSE OF DEGRADED RIVER FUNCTION. WOOD RIVER WATER COLLABORATIVE TOGETHER WITH OUR PARTNERS AT TROUT UNLIMITED AND THE NATURE CONSERVANCY, WOOD RIVER LAND TRUST CONTINUES TO HELP FACILITATE THE WOOD RIVER WATER COLLABORATIVE (WRWC). THERE ARE 75 PARTNERS IN THE COLLABORATIVE REPRESENTING DIVERSE INTERESTS INCLUDING: SENIOR AND JUNIOR WATER USERS, AGRICULTURE, GROUNDWATER DISTRICTS, MUNICIPALITIES, STATE LEGISLATORS, THE IDAHO DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES, THE IDAHO WATER RESOURCE BOARD, COUNTY AND STATE AGENCIES AND OTHER NON-PROFITS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE WRWC IS TO ENSURE SUSTAINABLE WATER USE FOR FARMING AND RANCHING; TO PRESERVE SAFE, CLEAN DRINKING WATER TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE WOOD RIVER WATERSHEDS; AND TO CONSERVE RIPARIAN AND RIVER HABITAT FOR FISH AND WILDLIFE THAT RELY ON THE BIG WOOD RIVER, SILVER CREEK, LITTLE WOOD RIVER AND THEIR TRIBUTARIES. THIS YEAR, WE CONTINUED TO WORK WITH WRWC PARTNERS TO DEVELOP A TOOL THAT COULD ALLOW IRRIGATORS TO KNOW THE PROBABILITY OF WHEN THEY WILL HAVE TO SHUT OFF WATER USE BY THEIR WATER RIGHT DATE. THIS TOOL USES SURFACE FLOW, SNOW WATER EQUIVALENT, SNOW WATER SURFACE INDEX, AND GROUND WATER LEVELS TO MAKE THESE PREDICTIONS. THIS WILL ALLOW IRRIGATORS TO PLAN CROP PRODUCTION MORE EFFICIENTLY. THE TOOL IS NOT FINALIZED BUT WE ARE EXPLORING FUNDING TO FINE TUNE IT AND REFINE OUR ABILITY TO MAKE THESE PREDICTIONS. BAUGH CREEK RESTORATION TOGETHER WITH PARTNERS AT TROUT UNLIMITED, THE NATURE CONSERVANCY, AND US FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, THE WRLT PARTICIPATED IN RESTORATION PROJECTS ON BAUGH CREEK TO HELP WITH STREAM HABITAT RESTORATION AFTER THE SHARPS FIRE. TROUT FRIENDLY THE TROUT FRIENDLY (TF) PROGRAM IS IN ITS 13THTH YEAR OF PROMOTING WATER CONSERVATION, SOIL HEALTH AND NATIVE PLANT USE WITH FREE EVENTS AND LANDSCAPE SIGNS THAT DEMONSTRATE THESE VALUES. THIS WAS THE SECOND YEAR THE PROGRAM HOSTED A RESILIENT LANDSCAPES FOR RESILIENT COMMUNITIES WORKSHOP SERIES. THESE SEMINARS INCLUDED THE ANNUAL WEED MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP, WHICH IS INTENDED FOR INDUSTRY LEADERS WHO CAN ALSO RECEIVE CREDITS FROM BLAINE COUNTY FOR WEED MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATION. THE SEMINARS PROVIDED COMMUNITY MEMBERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE LANDSCAPE PROFESSIONALS HELP THEM DESIGN THEIR OWN TROUT FRIENDLY LANDSCAPES. WRLT PARTNERED WITH THE CITIES OF HAILEY, KETCHUM AND SUN VALLEY TO PROVIDE THESE OUTREACH EVENTS COVERING TOPICS FROM IRRIGATION EFFICIENCIES TO SOIL HEALTH TO USE OF NATIVES AND DROUGHT-TOLERANT PLANTS TO HELP WITH WATER CONSERVATION. WRLT ALSO PARTNERED WITH THE CITY OF HAILEY FOR IMPLEMENTING WATER CONSERVATION GRANTS FROM THE BUREAU OF RECLAMATION AND THE WATER RESOURCE BOARD. CITIZENS OF HAILEY RECEIVE REBATES FOR REMOVING GRASS/TURF. REBATES ARE DEPENDENT ON PARTICIPANTS ATTENDING A RESILIENT LANDSCAPES FOR RESILIENT COMMUNITIES SEMINAR. THIS IS A STRONG PARTNERSHIP FOR MESSAGING AND BUILDING A WATER CONSERVATION ETHIC WITHIN THE LANDSCAPE. |
