2009 Annual Report to Members

March 2010
From the Director
Eric Erler

The success of land trusts in Washington and across the country is

undeniable. In Washington State alone, land trusts have conserved
a quarter million acres of threatened wildlife habitat and productive
family farms and timberlands. Each year Washington land trusts
raise forty million dollars to acquire strategic wild lands and help
families stay on their land. But if I had to identify one characteristic
that makes land trusts so unique, it is that we recognize and
reward actions that are positive. It seems that polarization, distrust
and fear pervade nearly every aspect of our society. We are often
unable to see eye to eye on the most fundamental challenges we
face, let alone agree on complex issues such as land use, habitat
preservation or environmental health.

The problem with this approach is that it fails to acknowledge that

we all share responsibility for the challenges we face, particularly
when it comes to a healthy environment. This is exactly why the
vision and approach of Capitol Land Trust provides a unique model
for success. We work with a diversity of partners and always seek
common ground and shared goals. Compromise is the norm, not
the exception.
Decker Creek Put simply, we recognize and reward what people are doing right.
Wetland Complex Above all, we raise awareness of how essential landowners, elected
536 acres of officials, business leaders, builders, farmers, loggers, environmen-
forest & wetlands talists, educators, and others are to our conservation work.
Conserved 2009 Because we all share responsibility for the precarious condition of
our natural environment, we all should share the responsibility,
and the opportunity, to make it better.

This past year, Capitol Land Trust conserved nearly 1,000 acres of
essential natural areas, priority wildlife habitat and productive
working lands in four counties. We conserved 536 acres of pristine
wetland and riparian habitat along Decker Creek in Mason and
Grays Harbor Counties. We acquired another 1¼ miles of forested
marine shoreline and salt marsh habitat in lower Eld Inlet. This
acquisition caps 15 years of work that has permanently conserved
six miles of marine shorelines in Eld Inlet alone. We also acquired
prime habitat for multiple salmonid species along the Cowlitz River.
Finally, we conserved one of the largest wetland systems in
Thurston County by purchasing two sites south of Maytown and
working with state agencies and the legislature to conserve an
additional 240-acre site nearby. This work adds to already
conserved areas within the wetland complex, creating a 475-acre
contiguous block of freshwater wetland habitat.

All of these projects shared one important aspect: consistency with Capitol
Land Trust’s five-year strategic plan. A recent review of every project ever
completed by Capitol Land Trust since 1989 found that 98% of projects
completed were consistent with the organization’s strategic conservation
goals. This consistency with strategic goals demonstrates our commitment
to operate strategically and efficiently. We work hard to accomplish the
most with limited resources. For most of the past decade, an analysis of
donor support compared to acres conserved each year consistently shows
209 Fourth Ave E. #205 that for every $200 we receive in private contributions, we are able to

Capitol Land Trust’s current strategic plan also establishes fundraising

goals for both conservation projects, and organizational operation and
growth. On the conservation side, we recognized that to accomplish the
www.capitollandtrust.org ambitious goals we set, we would need to raise ten million dollars in new
conservation funding between December 2008 and December 2010. To put
G this into perspective, to reach the 25-month, ten million dollar goal, we
Kathleen Ackley need to raise $400,000 every month, or more than $13,000 every day.
Membership & Outreach This is a lofty goal, especially given the severe recession we faced during
Coordinator this period. That said, with nine months to go, we have secured $7.9
million in new conservation funding and are 79% toward reaching this
Eric Erler ambitious goal.
Executive Director
It goes without saying, that this success is made possible by the incredible
Caitlin Guthrie support we receive from our many project partners and from you, our
Stewardship Coordinator generous members and supporters. We deeply appreciate the time, energy
and money you devote to furthering Capitol Land Trust’s mission. Thank
Kathryn Moore you for another great year!

Special Thanks to our Volunteer Land Stewards, dedicated to annually visiting and monitoring each
and every one of Capitol Land Trust’s conservation properties. These volunteers spend countless hours
traipsing through mud, shrubbery, wetlands, forests and fields. Their participation ensures our Stewardship
Program flourishes and our conservation properties remain healthy with high quality habitat values.
