Fortino David Laurance emeritus 4–5 Communications 6–9 Financial Report Lynn Loacker Tim Boyle Mark Long Randy Labbe & Development Donors Dear Friends, From keeping our rivers full and flowing to protecting valuable ecosystems, we understand that the impact we have originates with our generous donors. In 2014, we continued to make progress on the ground while building momentum for quantified conservation. Over the past 12 months, we worked with an array of stakeholders to do more restoration projects, plant more native trees, secure more water HEIDI HOFFMAN PHOTOGRAPHY in streams, and share our ideas widely. But we don’t buy into the simple notion that more is better. For us, better is better. That’s why we continue to quantify our actions using the most rigorous standards, cutting-edge tools, and methods that really work. With your help, we’re ensuring that every action we take is making a difference for our freshwater resources, our wildlife species and our communities. Thank you for lending us your strength and confidence to move beyond traditional tactics and pursue innovations that match the scale of the problems ahead of us. We’ve done some great things together, and I hope you’ll see the impact you have had in the pages that follow. If you read closely, you’ll find not only milestones achieved but the building blocks for great things to come. Yours in conservation, Joe S. Whitworth President Staff along the Willamette River in Portland, OR. 2014 Annual Report 1 87 million gallons of water restored per day As ongoing drought fuels competition for scarce freshwater resources, incentive-based water transactions have gained traction throughout Oregon. Our work in 2014 brought our cumulative flow restored to rivers and streams to 134 cubic feet per second — more than 87 million gallons of water per day. For Fifteenmile Creek, we continued to improve stream conditions through the innovative Fifteenmile Action Plan to Stabilize Temperature (FAST). This is a cooperative initiative that informs irrigators of forecasted lethal stream temperatures so that they can proactively curtail diversions. We also celebrated Signed 22 new flow restoration 10 years of keeping 15 cubic feet per second of flow contracts with landowners in the Lostine River during Chinook salmon spawning throughout Oregon migration and continued our partnership with the Nez Perce Tribe to monitor fish response to restored flows. And in the John Day Basin, we signed new Generous funding for flow restoration provided by NFWF’s water leases with multiple landowners on Reynolds Columbia Basin Water Transactions Program Creek, increasing flows to the mouth of this critical tributary to the John Day River.

The Museum, Opal School, and 3 the Museum Center for Learning inform each other in dynamic dialogue between informal, formal, and professional education. Opal School offers rich learning experiences and environments resulting from the practice of inquiry-based approaches through the arts and sciences. The Center studies how children learn in these environments, and helps to apply those approaches to exhibits and programs in the Museum. The result is an integrated, CONTENTS philosophically aligned approach based on playful inquiry— where adults and children learn together both in and out of school, and best practices are shared with educators worldwide through publications, workshops, and symposiums. STORIES Our integrated approach reached its most recent expression with the opening of Outdoor Adventure in April 2014. For years, 5 Opal School had used the adjacent Hoyt Arboretum as an outdoor classroom. The Center had studied how children interact with and learn in nature. That research was applied to transform 1.3 acres of inaccessible land adjacent to the Museum into an area that is neither park nor playground, but rather a carefully DONORS & designed nature learning environment for families with children of all ages and abilities.
