We generated communications to federal officials in support of strengthened federal rules to protect mature and old-growth forests; we believe this helped to result in stronger draft rules than would otherwise have been promulgated. We helped to sideline federal H.R. 8168, which would have damaged environmental laws in the name of saving giant sequoias.

The draft Form 990 received from our CPA is reviewed by the Executive Director and any questions he may have are resolved in consultation with our CPA, legal counsel and other outside experts in exempt-organization tax reporting. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c Individual Board members may not participate in the voting of any matter before the Board in which the member has a material direct personal interest which conflicts with the member's role as an objective governor. Such conflicts include instances in which the director is an active volunteer or staff person of any organization or company and has a substantive interest in an action by the Board regarding the organization's programs and/or campaigns.When such a conflict arises, a member must declare to the Board his or her conflict at the onset of action by the Board, if another member perceives a conflict, or as soon as he or she becomes aware of the conflict. The member may then choose to recuse himself or herself. If the member chooses not to recuse, the full Board will vote regarding whether or not to allow the member to participate in the relevant decision. Board members with a conflict of interest may participate in the deliberations but may not vote on the issue. The vote may be taken without the member with the conflict of interest present. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are all available to the public via copies provided upon request. Amended Explanation Shortly before the initial final filing deadline various discrepancies were discovered in how some income and expense transactions were coded in our accounting software by a staff bookkeeper who is now no longer with us. Per our tax preparer's recommendation we filed the taxes as they had been prepared, with the intention of filing this corrected return when all revisions were completed.
