Description	THE STUDENT AND LANDOWNER EDUCATION AND WATERSHED STEWARDSHIP (SLEWS) PROGRAM ENGAGES OVER 500 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN SEVEN COUNTIES (YOLO, SACRAMENTO, SOLANO, COLUSA, SONOMA, NAPA, AND SAN JOAQUIN) IN HABITAT RESTORATION THAT ENHANCES CLASSROOM LEARNING, DEVELOPS LEADERSHIP SKILLS AND RESULTS IN REAL HABITAT RESTORATION. SLEWS ADDRESSES THE IMMEDIATE NEED FOR HEALTHIER LAND AND MORE WILDLIFE HABITAT, WHILE MEETING THE LONG-TERM NEED TO INSTILL CONSERVATION AND STEWARDSHIP VALUES IN OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. NOT LONG AGO, CALIFORNIA WAS A DIVERSE HABITAT OF STREAMS, WETLANDS, WOODLANDS AND GRASSLANDS. AGRICULTURE AND DEVELOPMENT HAVE REDUCED THE NUMBER AND QUALITY OF THESE ECOSYSTEMS. REMOVAL OF NATIVE VEGETATION AND OVER-GRAZING HAS CONTRIBUTED TO LARGE-SCALE EROSION, DEGRADATION OF WATER QUALITY, AND LOSS OF WILDLIFE HABITAT. MANY FARMERS, RANCHERS AND LAND MANAGERS WHO WANT TO RESPOND TO THIS CRISIS LACK THE TIME, LABOR, AND EXPERTISE TO SUCCEED AT LONG-TERM RESTORATION. ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION IS A PERFECT "LABORATORY" FOR TEACHING TEENS A RANGE OF ACADEMIC SUBJECTS PLUS DEVELOPMENTAL SKILLS LIKE COOPERATION AND LEADERSHIP. SINCE MOST SCHOOLS LACK THE FUNDING, EXPERTISE AND/OR RESOURCES TO TRANSPORT AND TEACH STUDENTS IN THE FIELD, SLEWS IS A PERFECT SOLUTION. WITH OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH RESTORATION PROFESSIONALS FROM PUBLIC AGENCIES, LOCAL WATERSHED GROUPS AND OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, WE ARE ABLE TO CREATE PROJECTS FOR OUR STUDENTS THAT HAVE A LASTING IMPACT ON THE LAND. OVER MULTIPLE VISITS, STUDENTS PLANT OAKS, COTTONWOODS AND OTHER NATIVE SPECIES ON "THEIR" SITE, COLLECT NATIVE SEEDS, BUILD AND INSTALL BIRD BOXES, REMOVE INVASIVE SPECIES AND INSTALL IRRIGATION SYSTEMS; ALL TO INCREASE BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE LAND. MOST IMPORTANTLY, STUDENTS TAKE THEIR WORK SERIOUSLY BECAUSE THEY SEE HOW THEY ARE HELPING TO HEAL THE ECOSYSTEM. THIS YEAR, THE SLEWS PROGRAM COMPLETED ITS 13TH FULL SCHOOL YEAR IN MAY 2013. THE PROGRAM SUCCEEDED IN IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF ECOSYSTEMS IN THE PUTAH-CACHE WATERSHED, THE SACRAMENTO RIVER WATERSHED, THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY DELTA, THE SAN JOAQUIN WATERSHEDS OF THE LOWER MOKELUMNE WATERSHED AND SAN JOAQUIN RIVER, SONOMA CREEK, AND THE NAPA RIVER WATERSHED. WE CONTINUED IN OUR FOURTH YEAR OF RESTORATION IN SOLANO AND NAPA COUNTIES, AND CONTINUED A SLEWS PROGRAM IN SONOMA COUNTY, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AUDUBON CANYON RANCH'S BOUVERIE PRESERVE. OUR 2012-2013 ACCOMPLISHMENTS INCLUDED 10 RESTORATION SITES IN THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY, WITH 10 SCHOOLS AND 28 FIELD DAYS. WORK WAS COMPLETED IN THE COUNTIES OF SACRAMENTO, YOLO, COLUSA, AND SOLANO. ONE HIGH SCHOOLS PARTICIPATED IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY SLEWS PROGRAM, WITH A TOTAL OF ONE RESTORATION SITE AND FIVE FIELD DAYS.	Description

Description	THE FARMS LEADERSHIP PROGRAM PUTS STUDENTS IN AGRICULTURAL SETTINGS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY LEARN ABOUT AND EXPERIENCE THE RELEVANCE OF BASIC ENVIRONMENTAL AND AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES. AT THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR IN SIX REGIONS THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA, WE WORK PRIMARILY WITH URBAN HIGH SCHOOLS TO SELECT 200 STUDENTS FROM DIVERSE ETHNIC AND CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE YEAR-LONG PROGRAM. DIVERSITY AMONG PARTICIPANTS IS A VITAL COMPONENT OF ALL OF THE CENTER FOR LAND-BASED LEARNING (CLBL) PROGRAMS, SINCE WE EXPECT THE PARTICIPANTS TO DEVELOP LEADERSHIP SKILLS WORKING WITH OTHERS FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS. DURING MONTHLY FIELD DAYS, FARMS STUDENTS WORK WITH - AND LEARN FROM - FARMERS, RANCHERS, TEACHERS, AGRICULTURAL BUSINESS OWNERS, ENVIRONMENTAL PROFESSIONALS, ACADEMICS AND RESEARCHERS IN A CURRICULUM TAILORED FOR THEIR REGION. STUDENTS IDENTIFY AND COMPLETE A RELEVANT COMMUNITY ACTION PROJECT BY THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. STUDENTS ALSO EXAMINE HOW SOCIETY'S CHOICES AFFECT THE WATERSHED, WILDLIFE, VEGETATION, SOIL CONDITIONS, AND AIR QUALITY. WE ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO CONSIDER THE CULTURAL AND SOCIAL NEEDS THAT DRIVE AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF SPECIFIC CHOICES IN PRODUCING FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. THESE ARE ALL CONSIDERED KEY ELEMENTS IN MOVING TOWARD PRODUCTIVE AGRICULTURE THAT IS ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE OVER THE LONG TERM. THE 2012-2013 STATEWIDE FARMS PROGRAM FEATURED SIX SITES RANGING FROM YUBA CITY IN THE NORTH TO LOS ANGELES COUNTY IN THE SOUTH. THIS YEAR CLBL MAINTAINED THE SAME NUMBER OF FARMS SITES AS THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 51 FIELD DAYS WITH APPROXIMATELY 1,510 STUDENT VISITS AS A RESULT OF THE FARMS PROGRAM THIS YEAR.

ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	THE PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE OF THE CENTER FOR LANDBASED LEARNING IS TO INSPIRE AND MOTIVATE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES, ESPECIALLY YOUTH, TO PROMOTE A HEALTHY INTERPLAY BETWEEN AGRICULTURE, NATURE, AND SOCIETY THROUGH THEIR ACTIONS AND AS LEADERS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.
FIRST ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION	FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A	OVER-GRAZING HAS CONTRIBUTED TO LARGE-SCALE EROSION, DEGRADATION OF WATER QUALITY, AND LOSS OF WILDLIFE HABITAT. MANY FARMERS, RANCHERS AND LAND MANAGERS WHO WANT TO RESPOND TO THIS CRISIS LACK THE TIME, LABOR, AND EXPERTISE TO SUCCEED AT LONG-TERM RESTORATION. ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION IS A PERFECT "LABORATORY" FOR TEACHING TEENS A RANGE OF ACADEMIC SUBJECTS PLUS DEVELOPMENTAL SKILLS LIKE COOPERATION AND LEADERSHIP. SINCE MOST SCHOOLS LACK THE FUNDING, EXPERTISE AND/OR RESOURCES TO TRANSPORT AND TEACH STUDENTS IN THE FIELD, SLEWS IS A PERFECT SOLUTION. WITH OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH RESTORATION PROFESSIONALS FROM PUBLIC AGENCIES, LOCAL WATERSHED GROUPS AND OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, WE ARE ABLE TO CREATE PROJECTS FOR OUR STUDENTS THAT HAVE A LASTING IMPACT ON THE LAND. OVER MULTIPLE VISITS, STUDENTS PLANT OAKS, COTTONWOODS AND OTHER NATIVE SPECIES ON "THEIR" SITE, COLLECT NATIVE SEEDS, BUILD AND INSTALL BIRD BOXES, REMOVE INVASIVE SPECIES AND INSTALL IRRIGATION SYSTEMS; ALL TO INCREASE BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF THE LAND. MOST IMPORTANTLY, STUDENTS TAKE THEIR WORK SERIOUSLY BECAUSE THEY SEE HOW THEY ARE HELPING TO HEAL THE ECOSYSTEM. THIS YEAR, THE SLEWS PROGRAM COMPLETED ITS 13TH FULL SCHOOL YEAR IN MAY 2013. THE PROGRAM SUCCEEDED IN IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF ECOSYSTEMS IN THE PUTAH-CACHE WATERSHED, THE SACRAMENTO RIVER WATERSHED, THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY DELTA, THE SAN JOAQUIN WATERSHEDS OF THE LOWER MOKELUMNE WATERSHED AND SAN JOAQUIN RIVER, SONOMA CREEK, AND THE NAPA RIVER WATERSHED. WE CONTINUED IN OUR FOURTH YEAR OF RESTORATION IN SOLANO AND NAPA COUNTIES, AND CONTINUED A SLEWS PROGRAM IN SONOMA COUNTY, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AUDUBON CANYON RANCH'S BOUVERIE PRESERVE. OUR 2012-2013 ACCOMPLISHMENTS INCLUDED 10 RESTORATION SITES IN THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY, WITH 10 SCHOOLS AND 28 FIELD DAYS. WORK WAS COMPLETED IN THE COUNTIES OF SACRAMENTO, YOLO, COLUSA, AND SOLANO. ONE HIGH SCHOOLS PARTICIPATED IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY SLEWS PROGRAM, WITH A TOTAL OF ONE RESTORATION SITE AND FIVE FIELD DAYS.
SECOND ACCOMPLISHMENT DESCRIPTION	FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B	PROFESSIONALS, ACADEMICS AND RESEARCHERS IN A CURRICULUM TAILORED FOR THEIR REGION. STUDENTS IDENTIFY AND COMPLETE A RELEVANT COMMUNITY ACTION PROJECT BY THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. STUDENTS ALSO EXAMINE HOW SOCIETY'S CHOICES AFFECT THE WATERSHED, WILDLIFE, VEGETATION, SOIL CONDITIONS, AND AIR QUALITY. WE ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO CONSIDER THE CULTURAL AND SOCIAL NEEDS THAT DRIVE AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF SPECIFIC CHOICES IN PRODUCING FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. THESE ARE ALL CONSIDERED KEY ELEMENTS IN MOVING TOWARD PRODUCTIVE AGRICULTURE THAT IS ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE OVER THE LONG TERM. THE 2012-2013 STATEWIDE FARMS PROGRAM FEATURED SIX SITES RANGING FROM YUBA CITY IN THE NORTH TO LOS ANGELES COUNTY IN THE SOUTH.
