On private lands, we believe that state forest practices statutes and rules should create the enabling conditions for sustainably managed forests that are put to work earning landowners multiple revenue streams from wood products and non-timber goods and services but in a manner that protects public trust resources including soil productivity, water, wildlife, fish and a stable climate. Key activities and accomplishments in 2023 included:1.Developing a strategy to implement a forest carbon tax and reward program at the state level.2.Completing a peer-reviewed article on how to operationalize the forest carbon tax and reward concept.3.Filing litigation challenging harmful logging operations proposed on Washington State forestlands in King County.4.Hosting the Forest Carbon Coalition, a national network of conservation and scientific organizations advocating for climate smart forest practices.5.Hosting two online events addressing the imperative of enrolling forests more directly into the nations climate action framework. 50049 CLIMATE JUSTICE:Together with environmental justice organizations, community groups, people of faith, indigenous peoples, labor allies, and civil society groups, CSEs Climate Justice Program is taking action around the urgent moral imperative of rapidly reducing our collective carbon footprint while ensuring our land use is sustainable, with high value carbon sinks, such as old growth forests, bolstered and expanded as rapidly as possible. Key activities and accomplishments in 2022 included:1.We continued our work with non-profits and decision makers to advance fossil fuel risk bond policies now in place in Oregon and Washington.2.We completed a report providing guidance to state and local governments interested in adopting fossil fuel risk bond programs in their jurisdiction. 41707 GREEN INFASTRUCTURE:Investments in so called green infrastructure solutions such as wetland restoration or agricultural best management practices are increasingly recognized as cost effective ways to achieve environmental quality outcomes relative to investments in gray infrastructure such as wastewater treatment or water filtration plants. To advance green infrastructure solutions, CSE monitors land use decisions at the federal, state and local levels and advocates for inclusion of green infrastructure elements in site designs. Key activities and accomplishments in 2022 included:1.We continued our work with partners to devise a national and/or statewide no-net-loss compensatory mitigation program for forests and farmland.2.Monitoring and commenting on several land use decisions at the local level that will result in significant deforestation or loss of farmland. 166829 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 3 0 true 1 false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 3 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true false false true false false false X JOHN TALBERTH 5103845724 PO BOX 705 PORT TOWNSEND WA 98368 JOHN TALBERTH President 40.00 0.00 X X 98298 0 0 RICHARD MIETZ Director 2.00 0.00 X 4000 0 0 SUSAN LEOPOLD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KELLY O'HANLEY Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANTHONY ROGERS-WRIGHT Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 102298 0 false false false 0 118580 118580 CONTRACT REVENUE 541900 46826 46826 46826 22157 22157 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS INCOME 900099 50 50 50 187613 46876 22157 X 0 0 0 0 98298 88468 4915 4915 0 0 0 0 7897 7107 395 395 0 23007 20706 1151 1150 2487 2238 125 124 0 0 0 28440 25596 1422 1422 0 1784 1606 89 89 0 0 9848 8863 493 492 8352 7517 418 417 0 0 0 0 0 700 630 35 35 TELECOMMUNICATIONS 3612 3251 181 180 COMPUTER EXPENSES 349 314 18 17 Postage and Shipping 243 219 12 12 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 134 121 7 6 215 193 12 10 185366 166829 9273 9264 28161 1753 498940 524331 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 527101 526084 0 0 X 527101 526084 527101 526084 527101 526084 2247 -3264 X false false false X 285248 445408 251990 207769 118630 1309045 15000 50000 46826 111826 0 0 0 285248 445408 266990 257769 165456 1420871 0 0 1420871 20 82 4925 19384 22157 46568 0 20 82 4925 19384 22157 46568 0 0 285268 445490 271915 277153 187613 1467439 0.96830 0.98470 0.03170 0.01530 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b FORM 990 IS DISTRIBUTED TO THE BOARD AND IS REVIEWED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.
