2 MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD CHAIR & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

ur 40th anniversary year has been extraordinary! Celebrations throughout the year honored all those whose vision and hard work laid the foundation Ofor our current success. Sadly, we also paid our last respects to one of our founders, Henry H. H. Meigs, whose passing in February signified the end of an era. This milestone year has been marked by a renewed connection to our neighbors. A series of informal gatherings has strengthened relations, and the formation of the new Schuylkill Center Community Council has opened the door to ongoing dialogue about partnership efforts within the local community. Outside recognition from prominent local institutions brought validation for our efforts and commitment to environmental leadership. Our Education staff’s work with the Green Woods Charter School received commendation from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and our land restoration

efforts garnered renewed funding from the Horace Acting Director, Dennis Burton (seated on left) and Goldsmith Foundation. We also received a substantial Board Chair, Harry Weiss (standing on right) with grant from the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum neighbors Mark Soffa, Brendan Binder and Ruth Ann Fitzpatrick celebrating the Center at a reception in the Commission. home of supporters Debbie and Bobby McFerrin. Without our friends, the work of the Center could not flourish. Thank you for your continued, generous support!

3 Annual Picnic Neighbors & friends enjoyed delicious home cooking and birthday cake provided by Eiselen’s Pastry Shoppe at our 40th Anniversary Potluck Picnic in July.

40th CELEBRATIONS We celebrated this important milestone all throughout the year!

40th Kickoff Party At our Opening Night Reception at Drexel University’s Westphal Picture Gallery in February, we kicked off the year of festivities by honoring our past Board Chairs. In attendance were (left to right) Charles D. Dilks, William G. Walkup, John W. Church, Jr., Julie D. Spahr, I. Tatnall Starr II, Thomas S. Stewart, and George M. Riter, Esq. Also honored were past chairs Linda Unland, John A. Affleck, William Y. Webb, David P. Montgomery, and F.M. Rivinus, and deceased past chairs Bertram W. Zumeta and Emerson Greenaway.

4 Renewed Neighbor Relations Throughout the year, an informal series of gatherings and meetings greatly strengthened our ongoing relationships with Center neighbors. Additionally, The Schuylkill Center Community Council was formed as a partnership between the Center, our neighbors, and members of local civic associations to work toward restoring the ecological vitality of the Schuylkill River watershed.

Night At the Phillies Nearly 300 friends spent a chilly “Night at the Phillies” this April with the Phanatic, and raised over $1,400!

Improved Visitor Experience Several new features, rolled out for our 40th anniversary year, have made it easier for first-time or returning visitors. A new trail map and guide helps people navigate the Center’s trails and learn about the history and current use of the Center’s land. New entrance, driveway and parking lot signage, as well as signs on the roads leading up to the Center, improve visibility as well.

5 Green Roof Installed Thanks to The McLean Contributionship, this fall the Center installed a vegetated roofing system on a portion of our Education Building. In just a few growing seasons, the plant community on the roof will be a thriving, seasonally-changing natural system! Otherwise known as a “green roof,” this system will reduce the amount and rate of stormwater runoff from our building, and is one of the few places in the Philadelphia area where this green building technology is demonstrated. In the upcoming years, we will work with student groups to compile a body of data comparing the new green roof to the adjacent traditional roof, documenting its benefits for the environment.

Kentucky Warbler Habitat Enhancement Project Expanded Our BioPreserve provides undisturbed wildlife habitat and offers NEW THIS YEAR an important study site for researchers. This year, funding from the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation allowed us to restore important habitat that we hope will attract a breeding pair of migrating Kentucky Warblers. Last seen nesting in 1999, a Kentucky Warbler was heard calling last year for the first time since! The restored, dense understory created through this project is also preferred by many other native creatures, including the Scarlet Tanager, Wood Thrush, and Ovenbird.

6 Joint Visioning Process with Green Woods Charter School Since 2002 when Green Woods opened its doors as Philadelphia’s newest public charter school in space leased from the Center, our educational partnership has grown and flourished. This year, a joint planning process underwritten by the Nonprofit Finance Fund allowed stakeholders from both organizations to consider and plan for our future together. In particular, the process focused on the physical space required for our partnership to meet its mission.

Technology Upgrades With support from The Wright-Cook Foundation, we purchased and installed a new server, upgraded our fundraising software and purchased 5 new computer towers, which greatly expanded the effectiveness of our staff.

7 ur many and varied environmental Oeducation programs continued this year, bringing hands-on science education to students and adults alike ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

in the greater Philadelphia area. Our one-time field trip and classroom visits continue, but increasingly, we seek the funding to allow longer-term relationships with schools that facilitate a greater depth and breadth of student learning and experience. The new program model that we have developed includes a service-learning experience involving students in actual land restoration projects.

8 The Center is the only data collection site in Philadelphia for FrogWatch, a national monitoring program for frog and toad populations.

The Schuylkill Center offers many urban kids their first experience in a forest!

9 Most of the 46,000 people the Center serves with our environmental education programs each year are students from the Philadelphia School District.

10 With a partnership unique in the United States, the Center’s Educators have developed a full-year environmental science curriculum for the 200 K-8th grade students at the on-site Green Woods Charter School, a part of the Philadelphia public school system.

2005 marks the 7th year the Center has coordinated the Envirothon program for Philadelphia high schools.

11 In the past five years, The Schuylkill Center has invested over $400,000 in land restoration projects on our 340 acres. LAND RESTORATION lways working to educate the public Aabout ecological restoration, we involve many volunteers in hands-on planting and invasive-control projects for schools and community groups. Events such as our 1st annual Plant Sale and annual Restoration Symposium offer more opportunities for spreading the word about this vital work. Research, monitoring and control of native species continues. The Center maintains a leadership position in this field in partnership with many local academic institutions.

Center staff, along with Philadelphia University students and community members, count deer as part of an ongoing research study in deer control and management. Ashleigh Poff & Amanda Bryant take part in a salamander study to determine the health and population of these amphibians. Volunteers create rolling grade dips to manage stormwater runoff. Community members learn about water conservation through the use of rain gardens.

The Center’s deer management program is a model for Fairmount Park, and we consulted for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s plan. Center staff work with Joanne Malfatti works with community the American Chestnut volunteers to reconstruct a stone wall. The Society for Ecological Restoration International defines Foundation to hand pollinate ecological restoration as the process of American chestnut trees. assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged or destroyed.

13 The Schuylkill Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic is the only fully-licensed rehabilitation facility in the 5-county area!

Rick Schubert, new Clinic Director

This fall, the Schuylkill Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic proudly welcomed our new rehabilitator, Rick Schubert! It is clearer than ever that the demand for WILDLIFE our wildlife rehabilitation services continues to grow, and to provide these services, we continue to rely on our dedicated donors and volunteers to help with all REHABILITATION aspects of the Clinic’s operations. The Schuylkill Wildlife Rehabilitation Clinic treats over 2,700 animal patients each year!

14 The Center hosts the only professionally-run gallery space in Roxborough, and the only outdoor installation space of its kind in the city!

Top left: “Natural Selection” by Katrina Mojzesz This year, 22 artists exhibited work in our Environmental Art program! Below: “Figures, Animals & Landforms” by Laura D’Angelantonio ENVIRONMENTAL ART Bottom: “Natural Artifice” by Lisa Murch Four very different exhibits graced our gallery space this year. Through their works, artists challenged viewers to consider issues related to the environment, such as abundance and scarcity, humankind’s place in the natural world, and even the whimsy present in nature. We are pleased to offer our visitors these unique perspectives, which we believe supplement and enhance the overall experience at the Center.

In the Philadelphia area, Henry will best be remembered as one of the founders of The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education, established with his mother, Margaret Houston Meigs, and aunt & uncle, Eleanor Houston Smith and Lawrence M.C. Smith in 1965. Founded upon family land within the city limits, the Center comprises more than 340 acres of natural open space and serves as a model program in environmental education, land restoration and wildlife rehabilitation. It has since been the nation’s premiere environmental education center. In 1976, the National Park Service designated the Center as a National Environmental Study Area in recognition of the Founders’ efforts to provide a site for effective education programs. For 40 years, Henry maintained a close relationship with The Schuylkill Center, serving tirelessly as a trustee, mentor, and guiding spirit. In 1997, the Center’s Board of Trustees presented Henry with the enry Howard Houston Meigs, longtime Founders’ Conservation Award in recognition of his Philadelphia area resident, philanthropist and H service and outstanding leadership in the field of conservationist, was born in Harford County, Maryland conservation. in 1924.
