Return Reference	Explanation
Schedule D, Part II, Line 5	Conservation Easement Monitoring Protocol is intended to aid in the Conservation Easement monitoring process for New Jersey Audubon Society. Conservation Easements are defined as a voluntary agreement between NJA and a landowner that limits the type or amount of development on their property while at the same time allowing the landowner to maintain private ownership of the land. NJA accepts the easement with understanding that it must enforce the terms of the easement in perpetuity. After the easement is signed, it is recorded with the County Register of Deeds and applies to all future owners of the land. Conservation Easement Monitoring Protocol involves a site visit (monitoring) and follow-up report. Site visits are performed annually by a NJA representative. The landowner is contacted prior to the site visit and is invited to participate (however participation is not mandatory). The date of easement monitoring may vary annually (i.e. seasonally) to maximize opportunity to observe a wider variety of plants and animals making use of the easement. The easement monitoring report is completed during the site visit and placed in the property file. Photos are taken at each site visit as part of the monitoring report. A follow-up letter is sent to the landowner highlighting the results of the site visit.
Schedule D, Part II, Line 9	Expenses associated with acquiring and maintaining the easements are expensed.
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2	New Jersey Audubon Society is exempt from Federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the financial statements do not reflect a provision for Federal income taxes. There were no uncertain tax positions at August 31, 2015 and 2014. The Society did not have any income tax related penalties or interest for the years in question.
Schedule D, Part XI and XII, 2D	IN-KIND CONTRIBUTIONS OF $11,318
SCHEDULE D, PART XI, 4B	A CHANGE IN VALUE OF CRT OF $37,139 LESS A LOSS ON DISPOSAL OF ASSETS OF $54,200.
SCHEDULE D, PART XII, LINE 4B	LOSS ON DISPOSAL OF ASSETS: -$54,200.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, 4B, & 4C	STEWARDSHIP One of the most exciting projects in recent NJ Audubon history is the Quail Restoration Initiative. This ambitious endeavor to restore Northern Bobwhite to New Jersey became real when we released 80 wild Northern Bobwhite, captured and trans- located from Georgia, onto the Pine Island Cranberry property in the heart of the pinelands. The first year's results were impressive with 14 confirmed nests and 66 hatched chicks. This was the first confirmed nesting and hatching of Northern Bobwhite in the NJ Pinelands since the 1980s! The project has just begun as we will be conducting two more releases over the coming years, and tracking and documenting the quail's survival and habitat use. We joined with more than fifty other non-profit organizations on the Delaware River Watershed Initiative, a bold endeavor spearheaded by the William Penn Foundation to protect and restore water quality across a 13,500 square mile area. We lead efforts to engage farmers and landowners in the implementation of best management practices that safeguard waterways, reduce water use, and improve wildlife habitat. We are working in two distinct regions of the state, the Highlands region and the area overlapping the Kirkwood-Cohansey Aquifer (largely southern NJ). In the Highlands region we have supported the installation of cover crops on more than 400 acres of farmland, worked on 23 acres of wetland restoration, 30 acres of grassland restoration, and more than three miles of riparian restoration. In the Kirkwood-Cohansey region we launched a small grants program to fund conservation practices and have funded projects covering close to 1,000 acres. This means supporting the use of cover crops, irrigation efficiency improvements, installation of grassed waterways and riparian buffers. We entered into a partnership with the New Jersey Invasive Species Strike Team to raise awareness about the impact invasive species have on native systems and to directly eradicate invasive species populations throughout the state. Consequently, we've engaged new partners in the eradication of invasive plants at high priority forest sites, held more than 10 outreach events involving more than 800 individuals, trained numerous partners and private landowners in invasive species eradiation techniques and directly eradicated over 230 invasive plant populations, many of which are newly emerging species that pose significant risk to native plants and wildlife. Our forest stewardship and restoration work continues to directly create, improve and restore habitat for numerous birds and other wildlife, while also improving forest health. Across New Jersey we developed or implemented more than 20 forest stewardship plans that cover more than 20,000 acres. The work has involved creating small patches of habitat for Golden-winged Warblers and other young forest species in northwestern NJ, creating habitat for Red-headed Woodpeckers in northern and southern NJ, restoring areas damaged by the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid at the Janet Van Gelder Wildlife Sanctuary, and creating habitat, while reducing wildfire risk, at the Hovnanian Sanctuary in Ocean County. POLICY & ADVOCACY At the State level, there were a number of successful policy actions during the year. One of the most significant accomplishments was the advancement of state legislation and the ultimate passage of a public question establishing a permanent funding source for the preservation and stewardship of open space and parks. We coordinated a robust state-wide conservation funding ballot measure which passed with 65% voter support in November 2014 and will provide $2 billion in funding over the next 20 years for acquisition of open space and stewardship of preserved lands and parks. This will provide significant protection for valuable habitat as well as protecting water, and clean, safe places for our children to play. Additionally, we focused efforts on ensuring healthy sustainable forests by advancing forest stewardship and sustainable healthy forests initiatives including the Prescribed Burning Act and the NJ Healthy Forests Act. Finally, with a goal to reduce invasive species in NJ (which greatly damage our public and private lands) as well as promote native species and pollinators, we worked to develop and introduce legislation to reduce or prohibit invasive species, promote native species, protect native pollinators and grow backyard habitat. At the federal level, we worked in coalition with organizations from four other states to partners in applying for and securing $13.5 million in Regional Conservation Partnership Program funding from the Natural Resource Conservation Service for the Delaware River Watershed. We also worked to advance the Delaware River Basin Conservation Act to encourage coordination, raise awareness and bring more resources to this valuable watershed. We continued efforts to support the Land and Water Conservation Fund, fought against damaging Clean Water Act riders, secured continued funding for NJ under the State and Tribal Wildlife Grant program and advocated for, secured and celebrated the federal protection of the Red Knot under the Endangered Species Act. EDUCATION: New Jersey Audubon directly reaches 18,759 children and 22,762 adults throughout the year by conducting 2,173 programs. These programs are conducted by the organization's professional staff at six nature centers, as well as trained volunteers. In addition, close to 40,000 people visited our centers and walked our trails. During the year we saw significant growth in our urban education programs in Jersey City, Newark, New Brunswick, Morristown and Linden by working with schools, afterschool programs and other youth-serving organizations. Our team also grew the statewide youth birding program to encourage young people to learn about conservation through birds and bird watching. Our center-based program slate is diverse and tailored to the individual site. Programs consisted of Pre-K introductions to nature through the seasons to community-programming that build connections with individuals and local groups like the Jersey Cape Military Spouses Club. We meet with scout groups and engage scouts in stewardship projects at the centers. We encourage family groups to help monitor bluebird boxes. We hold programs and sales to encourage the use of native plants in individual and community gardens. During summer 2015, our statewide team conducted three weeklong teacher summer institutes to provide K-12 teachers with background in ecology, environmental science, sustainability and educational pedagogy that helps meet state and federal learning standards. Staff participated in numerous annual education conventions and conferences by conducting workshops. Working closely with state and national partners, New Jersey Audubon continues to work on high-profile projects looking at coastal community resiliency and how to teach about this to high school students. Over 27,000 people visited the New Jersey Audubon migration watches during the year. These sites provide people with access to wildlife migration phenomena (hawk migration, songbird migration, butterfly migration) and also opportunities to learn more about how they can help these species. While most of our programs revolve around New Jersey's habitats, animals, plants and natural phenomena, New Jersey Audubon is well-represented on an international level. New Jersey Audubon's Cape May Bird Observatory (CMBO) participated in the first ever International Bird Observatory Conference in Falsterbo, Sweden. CMBO also participated in an ENRAM (European Network for the Radar surveillance of Animal Movement) meeting in the Hula Valley, Israel, where staff shared how US radar can be used to visualize bird migration, quantify stopover habitat of migrating birds, and connect a broad audience to the conservation needs of migrants. The Eco-Schools USA in New Jersey program, a partnership between New Jersey Audubon and National Wildlife Federation worked collaboratively with the EPA Taiwan to connect schools in New Jersey with schools in Taiwan with a common goal of building partnerships in school sustainability actions. Research Funded by a $1.28 million grant through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, NJ Audubon led Stone Harbor restoration efforts, improving critical habitat for endangered beach nesting and migratory shorebirds while protecting neighboring communities from storm surges. After months of planning, huge earth movers replenished sand on eroded beaches at Stone Harbor Point to raise the nesting grounds for federally threatened Piping Plovers and state endangered Black Skimmers and Least Terns-just in time for spring migration and breeding season. We created 25 acres of elevated habitat thereby reducing the potential for flooding of nests of the beach nesting birds, and providing roosting areas for migratory shorebirds.
