- ANNUAL REPORT 2017 - 4 5 Nantucket Conservation Foundation Daniel Sutherland Photography PRESIDENT’S REPORT ARTHUR A. GOSNELL

2017 was an eventful year for the Foundation. Thanks to the leadership of President David Poor and Executive Director Jim Lentowski the Foundation was able to complete the acquisition of Norwood Farm and move forward as an institution with no debt on our balance sheet. David and Jim were instrumental throughout the Norwood process, which took over a decade to complete if one includes the time needed to structure the transaction and get all parties to agree on an approach.

David Poor stepped down as President in 2017 and we are grateful for all of his time and energy over the last 16 years as a trustee, Vice President, and President. During his tenure David had a tremendous impact on many aspects of our operations, but none more so than fundraising in connection with the acquisition of the Field Station on the Polpis Road and Norwood Farm. In recognition of these achievements the David Poor Development Chair has been established in David’s honor at the Foundation.

2017 was Jim Lentowski’s last full year as Executive Director. After 47 years with the Foundation Jim is looking forward to retirement this July. The Foundation today has slightly over 9,000 acres in conservation, as compared with roughly 1,000 at the time Jim joined the organization. He not only did this, but by collaborating with other like minded organizations on Nantucket he helped facilitate other significant conservation endeavors such that in Roughly half of total roughly half of Nantucket has been Nantucket has been preserved as open space. Jim’s dedication preserved as open space. to the Nantucket Conservation “ Foundation sets the standard for - Arthur Gosnell conservation leadership on Nantucket, and he is recognized across the United States as a result.

president’s report

The conversion at the cranberry bogs over to organic production continued in 2017. We hope to be fully organic in 2018. This three year process has been expensive, but thus far seems to be going very well. We thank our supporters who made the conversion possible.

Our efforts also continue with respect to cutting fire breaks across Foundation property in order to minimize the risk of a wildfire breaking out as has been the case in other parts of the country. Over the last four years we have cut 180 acres of fire breaks. This work has been made possible by a very significant anonymous gift that has enabled us to purchase two Fecon forestry mulching machines and to perform the work itself.

The Foundation has always been very fortunate to have our wonderful staff of dedicated people who take care of our properties, farm the cranberry bogs, and perform important science, stewardship, and administrative functions. We thank them and all of our members for their continued support and look forward to seeing everyone this summer!

Total Revenue

Revenues 400K Total Revenue for the year of $5.0 million was comprised of Unrestricted Revenues 4.4 of $4.4 million and Restricted Revenues of Million $400K. Revenues were derived primarily from Membership Dues, Capital Campaign donations, Foundation grants, restricted land-fund gifts through membership donations and investment Unrestricted income. The Cranberry operations produced a Revenues net loss of $219K as market prices remained depressed due to oversupply. Restricted Revenues

Expenses Direct Operating Expenses were $3.8 million, which was neutral to budget as we maintained tight control of expenses in response to the macro-economic environment.

Balance Sheet The Foundation remains in very good financial shape with solid liquidity and negligible debt. Overall, net assets increased by $1.2 million to $130.8 million.

We are continually reviewing revenues, expenses and capital expenditures along with initiating new ideas and programs to improve our revenue base. Overall, the Foundation remains in solid financial shape, and we are confident of our ability to safeguard the Foundation’s assets, manage the current portfolio of properties, and pursue additional conservation properties as they become available.

- ANNUAL REPORT 2017 - 18 CRANBERRY REPORT

he rich history of harvesting cranberries on Nantucket continued with the 2017 harvest. We reduced the bogs in production from 195 acres to 50 acres at the Milestone bogs for 2017 as market pricingT remained depressed and we decided to lessen the risk until the market bounces back. Originally donated to the Foundation by founding trustees Roy Larsen, Walter Beineke and Arthur Dean, the Milestone Bog was at one time the largest contiguous cranberry bog in the world. The Windswept Bog was purchased in 1980 and is now being managed organically by the Foundation. The Milestone Bog will also be managed organically from 2018 on. The beauty of one bog is very different from the other. At Milestone, the wide, expansive view of the grasslands to the Sankaty Lighthouse in the distance brings you back to an earlier time. At Windswept, hardwood forests, fragrant shrubs and marsh and meadow communities surround the bogs as beach trees tower overhead, some of which are well over two centuries old. Pre-dating the Civil War, cranberry harvesting was an integral part of Nantucket’s economy, most notably after the whaling industry had moved on. The Foundation is proud to maintain this historically important heritage.

Going forward, we will be managing all of our bogs organically as it coincides so well with our overall conservation efforts and message.

Tommy Larrabee heads our cranberry operations as Cranberry Bog Manager. Tom took the handoff from his father, Tom Larrabee Sr., who ran the operation for many years and was a long standing island tradition himself. It takes a varied combination of mechanical, hydrological, chemical and forecasting abilities to correctly manage the operation. Also part of our fulltime crew at the bogs is Assistant Manager Nick Larrabee (Tom’s son) and Bill Coffin, the Foundation’s master mechanic.

A pertinent piece of history has been captured at the bogs, along with the protection of two beautiful ecosystems. Managing both these aspects is a connection to our original trustees’ mission which still resonates today.

19 Nantucket Conservation Foundation The annual Cranberry Festival was held on Saturday of Columbus Day Weekend at the Milestone Cranberry Bog. With an unusually warm fall, berries were not yet ripe enough for the bogs to be flooded and wet-picking to begin. Spectators were able to witness demonstrations of the much less recognized dry-picking. This method maintains the berries’ natural protective coating.

There was plenty to celebrate: a fantastic fall day with 6,000 island residents and visitors; the Foundation now using all organic farming methods (with the Milestone Bog expected to join the Windswept Bog as a certified USDA Organic producer in 2018); over 9,000 acres of the island – that’s over 30% – under the Foundation’s stewardship; and carefully managed open spaces that are available to the public, year-round. The perfect Fall weather allowed for festival goers to enjoy music, hayrides, delicious food from local vendors, and fun children’s events.

- ANNUAL REPORT 2017 - 20 PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

As more people visit our sensitive “spit of sand”, as Melville called it, the increasing responsibilities of property maintenance require us to take on varied and adapting skills. The simple fact is that our properties are being utilized more than ever and for that reason more emphasis is being placed on our Properties Management group to satisfy the responsibilities involved with being the island’s largest land holder. Those responsibilities include maintaining the many miles of our walking trails, open pastures and roads open to the public which require mowing and brush cutting cycles be planned and executed in concert with the property management plans we’ve developed. Using our heavier equipment to cut back vegetation from our extensive road edges enable clearer sightlines for the safety of drivers, walkers and bikers, as well as mowing and cutting back the hundreds of acres in the Middle Moors “Serengeti” for a grassland restoration project in conjunction with our science department. New trails are being cut in to accommodate the additional walkers. Extensive fire breaks are being cut to help prevent wildfire. In addition, trail signage and fence lines must be maintained and constant patrolling of our properties completed for any signs of misuse or repair. The group has helped complete field work for several of our Science Department’s grants and provides invaluable logistical assistance and direction in the field for our rangers and our expanding research staff. Building repairs on our structures are ongoing and the skill sets we’ve developed allow us to do most of the necessary work in house, which allows us to control the repair/renovation schedule and lower costs associated with the work.

Property Maintenance Department

The group consists of Chris Iller, Richard Mack, Donnie Mack, Jake Visco and Dave Visco. Their ability in adapting to an almost daily mix of prioritizing and balancing new developments, especially during the summer high season, is their true value. We thank them for their fine efforts once again.

21 Nantucket Conservation Foundation SCIENCE AND STEWARDSHIP

The Nantucket Conservation Foundation’s Science and Stewardship Department undertakes research, inventory, management and monitoring projects to provide increased understanding of the rare resources found on our properties. This information is used by our year- round staff, including Karen Beattie (Science and Stewardship Department Manager), Jennifer Karberg, Ph.D. (Research Program Supervisor), and Kelly Omand and Danielle Science and Stewardship O’Dell (Ecologist/Field Supervisors) to make Department Manager well-informed ecological management decisions Karen C. Beattie and develop property management plans for the Foundation’s various conservation lands. Research Program Supervisor During 2017, we worked closely with several Jennifer M. Karberg, Ph.D. highly-qualified seasonal staff to accomplish these objectives. Elizabeth Buck returned for a Ecologist/Field Supervisors fourth season and worked in a supervisory role Danielle I. O’Dell as our Shorebird Monitor/Invasive Species Field Kelly A. Omand Crew Leader. Jacob Earle and Scott Fuchs were our Botany/Ecology Field Assistants. Neil Foley, Shorebird Monitor/Invasive our Coatue Shorebird Monitor/Ranger, also Species Field Crew Leader returned for a fourth summer as an integral part Elizabeth C. Buck of the science team.

■ Sandplain Grassland Network Science and Stewardship Department staff continued our participation in the Sandplain Grassland Network, which is a collaboration of researchers and managers working across the coastal Northeastern U.S. to summarize existing sandplain grassland management strategies and identify potential collaborations. The group is in the final stages of developing a comprehensive publication summarizing best management practices and future research needs. Jen Karberg and Karen Beattie both authored chapters on prescribed fire and livestock grazing management (respectively), which are currently being peer reviewed. This document, when completed, will be professionally published and also be available as an online resource.

■ Northern Long-eared Bat Monitoring Project Danielle O’Dell continued our collaboration with Zara Dowling, a PhD student at UMass Amherst, to document the presence of breeding and hibernating northern long-eared bats on Foundation-owned property. This federally- threatened species was not known to occur on Nantucket prior to this project. This is significant because northern long-eared bat population numbers have been reduced by over 90% in locations off-island where bats hibernate in caves infected with White-nose Syndrome, an introduced fungal disease. This year, we captured bats in mist nets to place radio-transmitters for tracking to roost locations, maternity colonies and hibernation sites and obtain DNA samples for a region-wide research project. We also conducted acoustic monitoring surveys across the island in a variety of different vegetation communities to document bat habitat preferences in collaboration with Samantha Hoff, a PhD student at SUNY at Albany. 23 Nantucket Conservation Foundation ■ Nantucket Flora Update Kelly Omand continued to serve as a project leader on a collaboration to update The Vascular and Non-Vascular Flora of Nantucket, Tuckernuck and Muskeget Islands - the definitive list of our local plant species, first published in 1996 and now outdated. During the 2017 field season, Kelly documented 5 additional species that were not included in the original version of the flora. She also searched online herbaria and state records to add species that were collected on the island in the past, but had not been included in previous floras. When completed, this report will be published and available online in digital format.

■ Head of the Plains Disk Harrowing Research We began a comprehensive project investigating the use of FECON brushcutting, soil disk harrowing and native seed addition to reestablish sandplain grassland habitat at Head of the Plains. After documenting pre- treatment conditions in 2016, the harrow treatment was completed by our Properties Maintenance Department in March 2017. We are examining the response of vegetation communities to this type of soil disturbance in an area that likely has a significant “seed bank” of sandplain grassland-associated plants, including many rare species. We are also documenting the effect of this restoration technique on insect, small mammal and bird populations to gain a broad understanding of its effects at the ecosystem level.

- ANNUAL REPORT 2017 - 24 SCIENCE AND STEWARDSHIP

■ Seabeach Amaranth Reintroduction and Monitoring We collaborated on a region-wide project to re-establish populations of seabeach amaranth (a federally threatened coastal beach plant species) on Nantucket on the Foundation’s Eel Point property, The Trustees of Reservations’ Coskata property, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Great Point property. This work involved establishing plots and planting seeds in appropriate habitat, with follow-up weekly monitoring to document germination, establishment and seed set. This project was spearheaded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at multiple sites across the range of this species in South Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts.

■ Professional Publications Jen Karberg and Karen Beattie completed a journal manuscript entitled “Sheep Grazing as a Grassland Management Tool: Lessons Learned on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts” summarizing the results of the Foundation’s ten year sheep grazing project at Squam Farm, which was published in the Northeastern Naturalist: Special Issue on the Natural History of Agricultural Landscapes. We also made significant progress on the development and submission of additional manuscripts to professional journals, which are currently in the process of being reviewed. These report the results of several completed research projects, including our Medouie Creek salt marsh restoration work (submitted to Wetlands: Journal of the Society of Wetland Scientists), our evaluation of disk harrowing and native seed addition as a grassland management tool (submitted to the Natural Areas Journal), and our prescribed fire grassland restoration and management research at Head of the Plains (submitted to Restoration Ecology).

■ Invasive Species Management Efforts We completed the initial treatment of a 0.6 acre population of non-native, invasive common reed (Phragmites australis) at Madequecham Valley, which has been an ongoing effort since 2013. We will be conducting follow-up monitoring and management at this site for a number of years to remove any re-sprouting stems. Ongoing surveillance was also undertaken at West Hummock Pond, Eel Point and Folger’s Marsh to ensure that common reed populations successfully eradicated from these sites after multiple years of treatment do not re-establish.

25 Nantucket Conservation Foundation ■ Rare Beach-nesting Shorebird Monitoring and Protection We monitored and protected 11 pairs of piping plovers, 20 pairs of American oystercatchers and 38 pairs of least terns that nested and raised chicks on Foundation-owned beaches at Eel Point, Coatue, The Haulover and Polpis Harbor.

■ Management Plans Karen Beattie updated the Squam Farm Property Management Plan, which needed revision to reflect the cessation of sheep grazing management on the property. She is also updating the existing Eel Point plan and developing a new plan for Coatue and The Haulover.

■ “Island Ecology” Column Outreach and Social Media During the summer and early fall, we submitted weekly contributions to the “Island Ecology” column in the Inquirer & Mirror and the NCF Science and Stewardship Department blog. We also participated in the Foundation’s “Mornings For Members” interpretive walks, initiated a new “Science for Members” walk program and contributed to additional development outreach events.

In addition to these major projects, we also continued monitoring and management on a number of multiple year, ongoing projects, including a region-wide horseshoe crab spawning survey, monitoring of the Medouie Creek salt marsh restoration project, systematic surveys for multiple rare plant species, seed collection and greenhouse propagation of common, native plant species for use in habitat restoration projects, and numerous collaborative non-native, invasive plant species management efforts.

We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to everyone that has contributed to the success of our many projects and endeavors over the past year - especially our generous donors and dedicated Board of Trustees, who make everything we do possible.

- ANNUAL REPORT 2017 - 26 WILDFIRE PREVENTION PROGRAM

2017 represented the fifth year of the implementation of our Wildfire Prevention Program. Prior to that we had drawn up a master plan and for each property and had it approved by the state of Massachusetts. With the purchase of a large, expensive Fecon mulching machine and the development of fire break plans for those NCF properties most at risk the Foundation has created a series of wide, low firebreaks throughout the Middle Moors and the Head of the Plains.

Since that time we have brush cut nearly nine miles of firebreaks throughout the Middle Moors and the Head of the Plains, or about 500 acres. This acreage is re- mowed annually to maintain its low cover. Most people do not realize that there is a history of large, accidental wildfires on the island.

The last section we have targeted, on the south shore near the Tom Nevers area, will be brush but and mowed over the next several years to again slow the spread of a fire, provide better accessibility and safety for responding firefighters, and improve protection for nearby homes and the safety of the people who live in them.

We are grateful to all those who have contributed to the wildfire reduction program and we will continue to modify our plans where needed to ensure the best possible system of firebreaks will be developed.

27 Nantucket Conservation Foundation TUPANCY-HARRIS FOUNDATION

As a member of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees from 1978 until her death, Sallie Gail Harris Tupancy learned about the importance of open space protection and was one of the Foundation’s strongest supporters. Together with her husband Oswald (“Tup”) Tupancy, Sallie created the Tupancy-Harris Foundation in 1987 as a way of supporting the Conservation Foundation as well as a variety of other organizations which they felt benefited Nantucket’s year- round population.

Today, the Conservation Foundation receives a generous annual grant in support of its organizational operations and to help bridge some of the gap that exists between membership revenues and expenses associated with the responsible stewardship of several hundred properties.

The Foundation would like to acknowledge and thank Mr. Doug Burden, executor of the Tupancy-Harris Foundation, for his support and generosity.

We would like to recognize those individuals and families who had the foresight to believe in the organization’s mission long before conservation and “green” issues were popular. Without their loyal and generous support over the past five decades, Nantucket would be a very different place.

Introduced in 2016, the Milestone Partners (“MP”) are those members of the Nantucket Conservation Foundation, who by their generous, unrestricted, annual giving ($10,000 and above for five years) for land stewardship projects and by their direct personal interest and involvement in the organization, are considered a distinctive part of the foundation’s base of support. A 5-year pledge for an amount of $50,000 or more qualifies donors as a Milestone Partner.

Donations made to the Milestone Partners help fund Land Stewardship projects. Upcoming stewardship projects will be presented to the Milestone Partners at their summer Annual Meeting. The intent is that the MPs will develop a true understanding and sense of ownership of a project Milestone Partners meet twice a year with Foundation Board of trustees, will be kept informed through reports from the Foundation’s President and are eligible for personalized, small group tours of the Foundation’s properties.

For more information about becoming a Milestone Partner, please contact the Development Office at 508-228-2884.

How to make a memorial gift

Making a memorial gift to the Nantucket Conservation’s Land Fund is a wonderful and appreciated way to commemorate the passing of a loved one, a close friend or an island neighbor. The Foundation will promptly inform a family member or friend of your thoughtful gesture, acknowledge your gift to you, and unless otherwise requested, include it in our next Annual Report. At the time memorial gift is made we would appreciate being advised to whom our notification should be sent including that person’s mailing address. Notifications to an honoree’s family members or friend or listing in a publication will not include the dollar amount of your gift. Please remember that a memorial gift to the Foundation is a fitting way of celebrating a person’s time on earth and sustaining the effort required to preserve Nantucket’s remarkable open spaces for all to enjoy.

Gift and Estate Planning

A charitable bequest is one of the simplest ways you can leave a long-lasting impact that will help protect Nantucket’s fragile environment. Providing a bequest gift through your will or trust to the Foundation will help us preserve, maintain and manage conserved open spaces of Nantucket now and for years to come. We invite you to contact the Nantucket Conservation Foundation development office for information about leaving a gift in your will at 508-228-2884.
