“The form 990 is prepared by an outside accountant and reviewed by the executive director. It is provided to the finance committee and treasurer. The Board give final review and approval.”
“Each year Board members are reminded that they have signed an acknowledgement statements declaring they have received the conflict of interest policy, and they agree to comply with all of its provisions. Staff has the same requirement when onboarded.”
“The process for determining compensation for the executive director includes an annual review, a compensation comparability study and approval by the board of directors.”
“Key employees of the organization are reviewed annually and compensated based on comparability study and approval of the executive director.”
“The 990 is mailed or emailed to anyone who requests a copy. The 990 is also published on guidestar. The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available to the public upon request, either by mail or email.”
“The organization has a written policy regarding the periodic monitoring, inspection, handling of violations, and enforcement of its conservation easements.”
“Nature collective uses the "zero valuation" approach to booking conservation easements. The organization has not booked any expenses for the conservation easements because it has not purchased any. All the easements have been given to the organization by governmental agencies. The land trust alliance (lta) describes the reasoning behind using a zero valuation approach as, because the conservation easement does not have any market value it is not considered to be support.”
“The intended use of the endowment funds are to suppor the san elijo tidal circulation program and other conservation programs.”
“Nature collective follows the provisions of uncertain tax positions as addressed in fasb accounting standards codification. Nature collective recognizes accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of the income tax provision, when applicable. There are no amounts accrued in the financial statements related to uncertain tax positions for the year ended december 31, 2022.”

| IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc | 0 | HABITAT CONSERVATION:THE SAN ELIJO LAGOON RESTORATION PROJECT IS ONE OF THE LARGEST WETLAND RESTORATIONS IN CALIFORNIA. OUR PROJECT INCLUDES NEW MUDFLATS AND TIDAL DREDGING IN THE SAN ELIJO LAGOON ECOLOGICAL RESERVE IN ENCINITAS, CA. MUDFLATS ARE A KEY HABITAT FOR MANY ANIMALS ESPECIALLY WATERFOWL. WITHOUT RESTORATION, WE WOULD HAVE LOST THESE VITAL HABITATS NOW RESTORED AND ENHANCED FOR SEA LEVEL RISE.KEEPING LAGOON LANDS AND WATERS HEALTHY MEANS INCREASING TIDAL CIRCULATION, A NATURAL PROCESS THAT MODERN INFRASTRUCTURE HAD NEARLY HALTED. BUT WIDER BRIDGE SPANS, AND ENHANCED TIDAL CHANNELS, ARE NOW DELIVERING TIDAL FLOW FARTHER AND DEEPER INTO SAN ELIJO LAGOON. WHEN RESTORATION WITHIN THE PROJECT AREA IS COMPLETE, WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THROUGH THE NEXT 50 YEARS ENSURING THAT WHAT WE DESIGNED ISWORKING AS SEA LEVELS RISE AND OUR CLIMATE CHANGES.WITHOUT THRIVING PLANT SPECIES INDIGENOUS TO THIS AREA, OUR LANDS AND THEIR ECOSYSTEM AREN'T TRULY HEALTHY. THAT'S WHY WE WORK TO CONTROL INVASIVE PLANTS IN THE SAN ELIJO LAGOON ECOLOGICAL RESERVE, THROUGHOUT THE CARLSBAD HYDROLOGIC UNIT, AND BEYOND. THE MORE PLANTS INDIGENOUS TO THIS AREA FLOURISH, THE MORE THAT ENDANGERED ANIMALS IN CALIFORNIA GET TO RESIDE IN THEIR LIFE-GIVING HABITATS.OUR SCIENTISTS MONITOR INDICATORS OF ECOSYSTEM HEALTH AND FUNCTION IN SAN ELIJO LAGOON ECOLOGICAL RESERVE, AND IN LANDS AND WATERS BEYOND. MONITORING ACTIVITIES INCLUDE SURVEYS OF THE CONDITIONS OF MULTIPLE PLANT COMMUNITIES, WILDLIFE POPULATIONS, WATER QUALITY, AND HYDROLOGIC CHANGES. DATA ARE SHARED WITH REGIONAL AND STATE AGENCIES FOR WATERSHED MONITORING. |
