| 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. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O) 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 11TH FULL SCHOOL YEAR IN MAY 2011. 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 THIRD YEAR OF RESTORATION IN SOLANO AND NAPA COUNTIES, AND CONTINUED A SLEWS RESTORATION PROGRAM IN SONOMA COUNTY, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AUDUBON CANYON RANCH'S BOUVERIE PRESERVE. OUR 2010-2011 ACCOMPLISHMENTS INCLUDED 10 RESTORATION SITES IN THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY, WITH 13 SCHOOLS AND 36 FIELD DAYS. WORK WAS COMPLETED IN THE COUNTIES OF YOLO, COLUSA, AND SOLANO. TWO HIGH SCHOOLS PARTICIPATED IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY SLEWS PROGRAM, WITH A TOTAL OF TWO RESTORATION SITES AND EIGHT FIELD DAYS. THREE HIGH SCHOOLS PARTICIPATED AT THREE RESTORATION SITES AND 12 FIELD DAYS IN NAPA COUNTY. ONE HIGH SCHOOL PARTICIPATED WITH FIVE FIELD DAYS AT A RESTORATION SITE IN SONOMA COUNTY. ONE RESTORATION SITE IN SONOMA COUNTY BENEFITED FROM ONE HIGH SCHOOL'S PARTICIPATION IN FIVE FIELD DAYS. | Description |

| Description | THE FARMS LEADERSHIP PROGRAM PUTS STUDENTS IN AGRICULTURAL SETTINGS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY 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 CENTER FOR LAND-BASED LEARNING (CLBL) PROGRAMS, SINCE WE EXPECT THE PARTICIPANTS TO DEVELOP LEADERSHIP SKILLS WORKING WITH OTHERS FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS. CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O. 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. THIS IS ALL CONSIDERED A KEY IN MOVING TOWARD PRODUCTIVE AGRICULTURE THAT IS ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE OVER THE LONG TERM. THE 2010-2011 STATEWIDE FARMS PROGRAM FEATURED SIX SITES RANGING FROM YUBA CITY IN THE NORTH TO ORANGE COUNTY IN THE SOUTH. THIS YEAR CLBL MAINTAINED THE SAME NUMBER OF FARMS SITES AS THE PREVIOUS YEAR AS FUNDING HAS BECOME RELATIVELY STABLE. THIS WAS THE FOURTH YEAR OF THE "SLEWS TO FARMS" PROGRAM.

| Description | OUR GREENCORPS PROGRAM, WHICH BEGAN IN MAY 2010, EXPOSED YOUTH AGES 16-20 FROM LOW-INCOME POPULATIONS IN BOTH SACRAMENTO AND YOLO COUNTIES TO A MULTITUDE OF "GREEN" CAREERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE IN SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES. EACH INTERN LEARNED ABOUT, AND PARTICIPATED IN, THE FOLLOWING JOBS; HABITAT RESTORATION, WILDLIFE BIOLOGY, CONSERVATION, GREEN BUILDING, WATER EFFICIENT LANDSCAPING, HEALTHY SOIL MANAGEMENT, COMPOSTING, SUSTAINABLE VEGETABLE PRODUCTION (PLANTING, MULCHING, ORGANIC PEST MANAGEMENT, DRIP IRRIGATION, HARVESTING, AND PACKING FOR MARKET), AND OTHER GREEN TECHNOLOGIES. THIS SUMMER JOBS PROGRAM WAS FUNDED FOR A YEAR BY THE FEDERAL STIMULUS PACKAGE (WORKFORCE INITIATIVE ACT) AND DISTRIBUTED THROUGH SACRAMENTO EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING AGENCY. THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF HOURS WORKED BY ALL INTERNS LAST SUMMER(MAY-OCTOBER) WAS OVER 5,000; AVERAGE INCOME PER INTERN WAS 1,500. AS THESE INTERNS WERE FROM VERY LOW-INCOME POPULATIONS, THE EARNINGS MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THEIR LIVES. FOR SOME, IT HELPED WITH FAMILY HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES. FOR OTHERS, IT HAS ALLOWED THEM TO PAY FOR THEIR COLLEGE APPLICATIONS OR TAKE COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMS. OF THE 25 YOUTH EMPLOYED THROUGH GREENCORPS, OVER HALF ARE NOW ATTENDING COLLEGE OR WILL BE ATTENDING COLLEGE IN THE FALL OF 2011. AT LEAST SIX OF THE INTERNS HAVE CHOSEN AGRICULTURE OR NATURAL RESOURCES/ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES FOR THEIR AREA OF STUDY. ANOTHER FIVE HAVE PART-TIME JOBS IN THE "GREEN" INDUSTRY. IN OCTOBER 2010, CLBL BEGAN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE "SACRAMENTO VALLEY BEGINNING FARMER TRAINING AND INCUBATOR PROGRAM" FUNDED BY A SPECIALTY CROP BLOCK GRANT FROM THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE. EXTENSIVE WORK WAS DONE TO HIRE A HIGH-QUALITY DIRECTOR, CREATE JOB DESCRIPTIONS, COMPILE CURRICULUM AND RESOURCES, HIRE CONSULTANTS AND CURRICULUM TEAM MEMBERS.

| FIRST ACHIEVEMENT DESCRIPTION | FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | 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 11TH FULL SCHOOL YEAR IN MAY 2011. 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 THIRD YEAR OF RESTORATION IN SOLANO AND NAPA COUNTIES, AND CONTINUED A SLEWS RESTORATION PROGRAM IN SONOMA COUNTY, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AUDUBON CANYON RANCH'S BOUVERIE PRESERVE. OUR 2010-2011 ACCOMPLISHMENTS INCLUDED 10 RESTORATION SITES IN THE SACRAMENTO VALLEY, WITH 13 SCHOOLS AND 36 FIELD DAYS. WORK WAS COMPLETED IN THE COUNTIES OF YOLO, COLUSA, AND SOLANO. TWO HIGH SCHOOLS PARTICIPATED IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY SLEWS PROGRAM, WITH A TOTAL OF TWO RESTORATION SITES AND EIGHT FIELD DAYS. THREE HIGH SCHOOLS PARTICIPATED AT THREE RESTORATION SITES AND 12 FIELD DAYS IN NAPA COUNTY. ONE HIGH SCHOOL PARTICIPATED WITH FIVE FIELD DAYS AT A RESTORATION SITE IN SONOMA COUNTY. ONE RESTORATION SITE IN SONOMA COUNTY BENEFITED FROM ONE HIGH SCHOOL'S PARTICIPATION IN FIVE FIELD DAYS. |
| SECOND ACHIEVEMENT DESCRIPTION | FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4B | 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. THIS IS ALL CONSIDERED A KEY IN MOVING TOWARD PRODUCTIVE AGRICULTURE THAT IS ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE OVER THE LONG TERM. THE 2010-2011 STATEWIDE FARMS PROGRAM FEATURED SIX SITES RANGING FROM YUBA CITY IN THE NORTH TO ORANGE COUNTY IN THE SOUTH. THIS YEAR CLBL MAINTAINED THE SAME NUMBER OF FARMS SITES AS THE PREVIOUS YEAR AS FUNDING HAS BECOME RELATIVELY STABLE. THIS WAS THE FOURTH YEAR OF THE "SLEWS TO FARMS" PROGRAM.

| ALL OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS DESCRIPTION | FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4D | OUR GREENCORPS PROGRAM, WHICH BEGAN IN MAY 2010, EXPOSED YOUTH AGES 16-20 FROM LOW-INCOME POPULATIONS IN BOTH SACRAMENTO AND YOLO COUNTIES TO A MULTITUDE OF "GREEN" CAREERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE IN SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES. EACH INTERN LEARNED ABOUT, AND PARTICIPATED IN, THE FOLLOWING JOBS; HABITAT RESTORATION, WILDLIFE BIOLOGY, CONSERVATION, GREEN BUILDING, WATER EFFICIENT LANDSCAPING, HEALTHY SOIL MANAGEMENT, COMPOSTING, SUSTAINABLE VEGETABLE PRODUCTION (PLANTING, MULCHING, ORGANIC PEST MANAGEMENT, DRIP IRRIGATION, HARVESTING, AND PACKING FOR MARKET), AND OTHER GREEN TECHNOLOGIES. THIS SUMMER JOBS PROGRAM WAS FUNDED FOR A YEAR BY THE FEDERAL STIMULUS PACKAGE (WORKFORCE INITIATIVE ACT) AND DISTRIBUTED THROUGH SACRAMENTO EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING AGENCY. THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF HOURS WORKED BY ALL INTERNS LAST SUMMER(MAY-OCTOBER) WAS OVER 5,000; AVERAGE INCOME PER INTERN WAS 1,500. AS THESE INTERNS WERE FROM VERY LOW-INCOME POPULATIONS, THE EARNINGS MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THEIR LIVES. FOR SOME, IT HELPED WITH FAMILY HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES. FOR OTHERS, IT HAS ALLOWED THEM TO PAY FOR THEIR COLLEGE APPLICATIONS OR TAKE COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMS. OF THE 25 YOUTH EMPLOYED THROUGH GREENCORPS, OVER HALF ARE NOW ATTENDING COLLEGE OR WILL BE ATTENDING COLLEGE IN THE FALL OF 2011. AT LEAST SIX OF THE INTERNS HAVE CHOSEN AGRICULTURE OR NATURAL RESOURCES/ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES FOR THEIR AREA OF STUDY. ANOTHER FIVE HAVE PART-TIME JOBS IN THE "GREEN" INDUSTRY. IN OCTOBER 2010, CLBL BEGAN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE "SACRAMENTO VALLEY BEGINNING FARMER TRAINING AND INCUBATOR PROGRAM" FUNDED BY A SPECIALTY CROP BLOCK GRANT FROM THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE.
