Programs
WORKFORCE TRAINING: Using funds from the third year of a grant from the City, we contracted with Friends of Trees to provide work force training for students at an alternative high school, who are interested in the field of natural resources. Students learned basic information about watersheds. They learned specific skills related natural area restoration and enhancement. Students were also trained to serve as crew leaders for a restoration project in the park; they led volunteers who were planting and caring for native plants.

However, the three "special" stewardship days led by Friends of Trees and the high school students were well attended, with more than 50 people at each event. The Friends of Trees events were part of the contract with had with them as partners in one our grants. We will continue to try alternative ways to entice park users to participate in the monthly clean-up and weeding events.

This six hour event took place primarily in the bicycle skills section of the park includes several parallel bike jump lines, ranging from beginning to advanced. The event started with an hour set aside especially for youth, followed by an hour specifically for women riders. After that, riders of all ages were invited to participate. Approximately 120 bike riders participated. In addition, as part of a grant from the City, FoGG was able to provide a mountain-bike riding experience for a group of middle school students who had never had the opportunity before. FoGG contracted with the Northwest Trail Alliance (NWTA) to provide bikes and bike coaches for 11 students from a nearby middle school.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $12k to $32k (+157%).
