TREASURER’S REPORT
SVT FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
SVT finished the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2009, in good financial health.
The worldwide financial crisis did affect both donations and the SVT endowment.
However, the organization has taken steps to responsibly manage finances through
this period of economic uncertainty.
The Financial Highlights are often difficult to interpret because they consolidate
financial results from three major and distinct areas. The following table breaks the
overall result into its components, which are explained separately below.

3) Change in Endowment value

(260)
1) Operations- This area includes total donations and revenue minus
salaries, utilities, insurance, stewardship, administration, education and
cost of fundraising. In fiscal 2009 operating revenue was significantly less than
budget and less than the prior year. Expenses were cut, including a painful salary
reduction. Strong year-end financial support from members and donors, combined
with the expense reductions, achieved a small surplus in operations.
2) Land Transactions- This area includes funds raised in each year to
preserve land, minus total cost of surveys, legal expense, personnel costs
and SVT’s share of purchase cost of land parcels. In land transactions, the
major financial activity during 2009 was the close on the protection of the Nobscot
Property. SVT’s participation was $1.3 million, some of which was raised in the prior
year. Resultantly, in fiscal year 2009, outflows exceeded inflows whereas in 2008,
inflows exceeded outflows.

3) Endowment Value-This area includes primarily income and change in
value of SVT endowment investment. SVT’s endowment value was impacted
negatively by the stock market decline. The endowment performance is consistent
with conservative benchmarks and better than many other non-profit organizations.
SVT will continue to manage its resources, along with member and supporter
contributions, frugally and responsibly while pursuing its mission to preserve and
take care of land.

SVT Reports on a Memorable Year
At Sudbury Valley Trustees, Fiscal Year 2009 stands out as the year the first 300 acres of the Nobscot Scout Reservation were protected. This goal, long-ago
envisioned by SVT founder Allen Morgan, was achieved in partnership with the town of Sudbury and the Knox Trail Council of the Boy Scouts. Beyond
Nobscot, our land protection team successfully completed seven other projects which permanently preserved an additional 295 scenic acres. These
achievements represent great success, which is partly why the year was memorable.
You can probably guess the other circumstance that caused FY 2009 to go down as memorable year—the economy! As conditions worsened, the Board
of Directors battened down our financial hatches. We reduced expenses and solicited special funds to keep our conservation capacities intact throughout
the storm. A small fraction of our members did choose not to renew their memberships. On the other hand, quite a few of you actually increased your
support of SVT, with the most appreciated explanation, “We thought you might need a little extra this year.” So far, this extra margin of gifts, along with
reduced costs, has protected our ability to do the work you want us to do. Thank you!
Our Activities Program has risen to new heights. Many outings have had waiting lists. The bird programs were well attended, and the book group
continued to grow. We are pleased that so many of you participate in these events.
This year past and every year, those of you who volunteer time and energy make a huge contribution to the SVT mission. Whether you keep our trails
inviting, lead activities, plan the Benefit, help us at Wolbach Farm, or take time to prepare for and attend meetings of our Board and Committees, you
make an enormous difference.
One category of volunteers is summer interns. We had an outstanding group this year. One young woman, when asked what she had learned, responded
with the following:
I learned how much work goes into conservation and how every department has to work together. I will always remember the great work
atmosphere at SVT and strive to find similar places. I also learned a great deal by working with volunteers; I really got to work on my
communication skills and learned how to give clearer directions.
OUR MISSION:
Sudbury Valley Trustees is a regional land trust that
conserves land and protects wildlife habitat in the
Concord, Assabet, and Sudbury river basin for the benefit
of present and future generations.
ABOUT US:
Founded in 1953, Sudbury Valley Trustees is supported
today by a membership of approximately 3,600
individuals, families and corporations throughout 36
different towns in the Concord, Assabet and Sudbury river
basin. Working in close collaboration with landowners,
businesses, local conservation commissions and
government agencies, SVT pursues its land protection
goals through land acquisition and stewardship, advocacy
and education.
It means a lot to us veteran adults to have these intelligent, energetic young people involved here at SVT—and it bodes well for next generation of conservation.
We hope you know that all our work is made possible by your contributions. Thank you for your membership in SVT.
Sincere regards,
Stephen Winthrop

The organization currently owns, through gift and
purchase, more than 2,100 acres in fifteen communities.
In addition, it holds conservation restrictions on more
than 900 acres and has been instrumental in preserving
several thousand acres now protected by public agencies.
SVT is responsible for the protection and care of over 100
properties, which include wetlands, sensitive habitats,
trails, open spaces, and major sanctuaries.
