Delaware Nature Society

Annual 2008 

Report 

Our 45th year of commitment to 

Environmental Education, 

Natural Resources Conservation, 

Preservation & Advocacy 

Delaware Nature Society

The Delaware Nature Society, a nonprofit membership or- 

ganization, fosters understanding, appreciation and enjoyment 

of the natural world through education, preserves ecologically 

significant areas, and advocates stewardship and conserva- 

tion of natural resources. 

The Delaware Nature Society (DNS) owns or manages more 

than 1900 acres of wildlife habitat and education preserves. A 

farm education program is taught at our 352-acre Coverdale 

Farm. Abbott’s Mill’s historic, water powered gristmill is pre- 

served and operational. The Society’s Burrows Run and Flint 

Woods Preserves in New Castle County and Marvel Saltmarsh 

and Cedar Bog Preserves in Sussex County provide extensive 

field study opportunities. 

DNS has been chosen to operate the Dupont Environmental 

Education Center under construction at the Russell W. Peter- 

son Urban Wildlife Refuge on the Wilmington riverfront, sched- 

uled to open in October 2009, and is in its third year of 

operations at Cooch-Dayett Mills in Newark. Unlike many na- 

ture centers that offer environmental education only, the 

Delaware Nature Society has Natural Resource Conservation 

and Advocacy components also. In addition, it is the Delaware 

affiliate of the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), offering input 

on national issues that concern citizens in our region. 

Our nature centers and preserves serve as regional hubs for 

environmental activities in every season. Individuals, school 

students, teachers and community groups increase their 

awareness of the natural world through our programs.

Dear Members and Friends: 

Over this past year of change and transition, the Delaware Nature Society made great strides in fulfilling its 

mission to foster understanding, appreciation, and enjoyment of the natural world through education; preserve 

ecologically significant areas; and advocate stewardship and conservation of natural resources. Following are 

some highlights that stand out in our minds: 

Fundraising Remained Strong in ‘08 

The Delaware Nature Society’s Annual Giving fund reached a total just shy of our all-time high. In 2008, 

$254,115.26 was raised from 828 donors. Additionally, our Capital Development Program raised $506,531.40 

for the Coverdale Farm expansion project including the renovations of the Education/Community Supported 

Agriculture (CSA) building. 

Reaching a New Audience 

“The Nature of Delaware” is the Delaware Nature Society’s blog featuring Field Trips, Outdoor Observations, 

Mike Riska, Executive Director 

and Environmental Topics launched in 2008. It is here that we will update recent field trips and show photos of 

our adventures, reveal interesting natural spectacles we come across, discuss the environment and conservation in Delaware, and generally blog about 

fun and exciting happenings within the Delaware Nature Society. 

Coverdale Farm Expansion Continues 

At Coverdale Farm the Farm Operations Center (containing farm equipment storage space, a small office area, and a nutrient management shed) was 

completed along with the site work which included a septic system and roadways. Farmyard buildings for chickens and pigs were built and made handicapped 

accessible for program participants. We are excited about our progress that continues at the Farm that will allow us to start a Community Supported 

Agriculture (CSA) program in 2010. 

Planning for Operations at the Riverfront 

The Delaware Nature Society continues planning for the opening and the start of operations at the DuPont 

Environmental Education Center in Wilmington. The center opening is scheduled for October 10, 2009 and 

we are looking forward to programming showcasing where the city, river and marsh meet. The Center, owned 

by the Riverfront Development Corporation, is on the edge of the 212-acre Russell W. Peterson Urban 

Wildlife Refuge that adjoins the tidal Christina River, which is home to many species of amphibians, birds, 

mammals, fish, reptiles and native plants. 

Furthering our Programming at Cooch-Dayett Mills 

Through a partnership with the Delaware Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs, the Delaware Nature Society 

continued operations at Cooch-Dayett Mills in Newark. With programming provided by DNS, Cooch- 

Dayett Mills features education for families, school classes and the public. The historic roller mills, along with 

natural features of the site, become the classroom. 

Reviewing the accomplishments of 2008, we are truly excited about the prospects for the future including Coverdale Farm growth, Cooch-Dayett Mills 

programming, our expansion to the Wilmington Riverfront and preparing for Community Supported Agriculture, all enabling us to reach new audiences. 

Realizing none of it would be possible without our most important and vital assets: our dedicated volunteers (close to 1,000 contributing a value of 

$363,000 in service!), our integral staff, and the committed leadership of our Board of Directors, we wish to take this opportunity to offer our most sincere 

thanks and appreciation. We look forward to continuing our progress in the future!

Education Highlights 

ACHIEVEMENTS AND GROWTH IN ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS 

Since its 1964 founding, the Delaware Nature Society has reached more than 1.3 million 

people of all ages through its education programs. The Nature Society’s Education Department 

includes three well-developed program areas: 

- members/seasonal: adults, children and families 

- schools: teachers and student classes 

- public groups: scouts, faith-based and community organizations 

In 2008, the Education Department welcomed more than 52,100 students, members and 

guests to our programs and included these distinguished highlights: 

MEMBERS 

Maintained members program participation (over 3,100) between 2007 and 2008 in the 

current economic situation. 

Ashland Nature Center

Natural Resources Conservation Highlights 

Through the Delaware Nature Society’s Natural Resources Conservation (NRC) Department, 

individuals are helping to protect and restore wildlife habitat, monitor and improve 

local water quality, preserve open space and natural areas, and raise a strong voice for 

the environment at the local, state and national level. In 2008, the Delaware Nature Society 

was pleased to celebrate the following accomplishments: 

NO PLACE LIKE HOME 

Since moving its headquarters to Ashland in 1976, the Delaware Nature Society has 

placed high priority on the permanent preservation of the Red Clay Valley. The valley includes 

spectacular natural areas that sustain an abundance of plants and animals and 

contain some of the richest forest in the Red Clay Creek watershed. The Red Clay Valley is 

becoming an island in our ever-more developed landscape. The Delaware Nature Society 

is committed to ensuring that future generations will be able to enjoy the spectacular resources 

just outside our door. Over the last year DelDOT Secretary Carolann Wicks formally 

approved the Corridor Management Plan for the 28-road network that composes the 

Jen Mihils, Associate Director 

Red Clay Valley Scenic Byway. The Corridor Management Plan describes the goals, strategies, and 

responsibilities for conserving and enhancing the Valley’s cultural, scenic, historic, and natural resources. In addition, the Delaware Nature 

Society sought Important Bird Area status for the Red Clay Valley, which was accepted at the State level. This recognition makes 

official what we have known for a long time - the Red Clay Valley is especially rich in bird species and biodiversity in general. 

RAISING THE PROFILE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES 

In celebration of Earth Day 2008, the Delaware Nature Society hosted a gubernatorial candidates forum focused on environmental issues. 

Approximately 130 individuals attended the event to hear the perspectives of the candidates. More than 60 questions were 

submitted by Delaware Nature Society members and the public which were posted on the DNS website with an audio recording of the 

event. Over the last year, the Delaware Nature Society and conservation partners worked collectively to halt the Army Corps of Engineers 

plan to deepen the main channel of the Delaware River, to support comprehensive energy policy and climate change legislation, 

and to maintain adequate funding for open space and farmland preservation initiatives. 

WATERSHEDS OF DELAWARE 

One of the Delaware Nature Society’s hallmarks since its inception in 1964 has been the ability to inspire people to take action to help 

protect the environment. Technical Monitoring is one of the Society’s most successful citizen science programs and is a nationallyrecognized 

example of the acceptance and use of citizen science water quality data by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources 

and Environmental Control (DNREC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Thanks to a DuPont “Clear into the 

Future” Natural Resource Conservation and Restoration Grant, the Delaware Nature Society was able to upgrade our website and 

post Technical Monitoring data, graphs, site photographs and maps. This information is now just a click away for school students and 

watershed groups throughout the region. 

GARDENING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT 

The Delaware Nature Society’s Backyard Wildlife Habitat program, offered through our affiliate partnership with the National Wildlife 

Federation, provides educational resources and one-on-one consultation for landowners interested in providing food, water, cover and 

places for wildlife to raise young, while implementing resource conservation measures in their backyards. Rain barrels have quickly 

become one of the most popular backyard conservation measures. In 2008, the Delaware Nature Society hosted several “build your 

own” rain barrel workshops that generated waiting lists of more than 200 individuals. 

EXPANDING THE RIBBON OF GREEN 

In 2007, the Delaware Nature Society teamed with the Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife to enroll their collective 313 acres in Sussex 

County into the State’s System of Nature Preserves. The Milford Millponds Nature Preserve achieved permanent preservation of 

the natural and cultural landscape surrounding Abbott’s Mill and Abbott’s Mill Nature Center. Over the last year, volunteers from the 

Milford High School cross country team helped to maintain portions of the Milford Millponds Nature Preserve. Additional lands, totaling 

approximately 60 acres, will be donated to the Delaware Nature Society and added to the Preserve in 2009. 


Land & Biodiversity Highlights 

PROGRESS AND IMPROVEMENTS REALIZED 

The Delaware Nature Society, which owns or manages more than 1,900 acres of 

wildlife habitat and educational preserves, accomplished several productive biodiversity 

management projects in 2008: 

- Baltimore Checkerspot butterflies continue to flourish at the Burrows 

Run Preserve - only one of two known location for this species in Delaware 

- Native tree buffer was expanded along the Burrows Run 

- Sharp-shinned Hawk nested and fledged young at the Ashland Nature 

Center for the second year in a row– this is the only known nesting 

location for this species in Delaware 

- Extensive invasive alien plant control projects were conducted at the 

Ashland Nature Center, Burrows Run Preserve and Abbotts Mill 

- Cooperated with University of Delaware’s Mile-a-minute Plant research 

that was conducted at the Burrows Run Preserve 

- Land management continues at Cooch-Dayett Mills – trails and 

teaching areas are maintained on a regular basis 

Jim White, Associate Director 

- The Ashland landscape project continued with native trees and shrubs being installed 

- Completed construction of new trail through Succession Woods and installed Succession Trail markers 

- A vernal pool was created at the Abbott’s Mill Morton Property 

MIDDLE RUN VALLEY NATURAL AREA WOODLAND RESTORATION PROJECT 

The Delaware Nature Society created an overall land and biodiversity management plan for Middle Run Natural Area. In 2008, the fiveyear 

project continued to expand the habitat restoration efforts at this site - two successful woodland restoration plantings (1,000 

trees planted) were completed in the Natural Area. Each of these plantings utilized more than 100 volunteers. Invasive alien vegetation 

removal projects were undertaken. Other activities were the creation of a new trail, environmental educational programs and biodiversity 

surveys, including a bi-weekly bird survey. (136 species to date) 

FACILITIES MANAGEMENT 

· Coverdale Farm Yard (including pig and poultry sheds) was completed and construction planning began for the 

Education & Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) building renovation 

· Floors in the two main bathrooms of the Ashland lodge were replaced 

· The Dilworth house, part of Burrows Run Preserve, underwent extensive exterior stone wall repair including the 

restoration of a historic stone smoke house 

- At Abbott’s Mill, the house on the Morton Property was removed and an out building was renovated for use as a 

teaching area 

- A new electric generator was installed at the Ashland Lodge 

- The Mortenson House, near White Clay Creek State Park, had exterior work completed 


Development Highlights 

JOINING THE E-TIMES AND CONSERVING RESOURCES 

The Development Department is committed to increasing the Delaware Nature Society’s 

use of electronic mediums in our on-going effort to reduce consumption and conserve 

our resources. To that end, 2008 saw a number of highlights in these efforts: 

- Implemented the creation of an online system (built by Lane Services, 

LLC) to process real-time transactions linked directly to the data management 

system for membership, donations and program registration 

- Launched the use of the Informz email system to more efficiently communicate 

and distribute brochures, programs and event information 

and announcements 

- Launched “The Nature of Delaware” the Delaware Nature Society’s 

staff blog featuring Field Trips, Outdoor Observations, and Environmental 

Topics 

- As a conservation measure, reduced printed materials by shortening 

program description lengths to print fewer brochure pages, as well as 

eliminating the printing of some publications and flyers 

As Membership gifts and Program fees do not provide sufficient funds for all that DNS 

accomplishes, our fundraising efforts continued to be a focus: 

· Annual Giving reached a total just shy of our all-time high. In 2008, $254,115.26 was raised from 828 donors. 

· The Capital Development Program raised $506,531.40 for the Coverdale Farm expansion project including the renovations 

for the Education/Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) building. 

In the Development Department’s role of providing support to our education and conservation programs, it will continue striving to 

find new ways to bring the activities of the Delaware Nature Society to more people, and creating more opportunities to educate 

about natural history and the importance of protecting the environment. 

Contributions Note 

Linda Chambers, Associate Director 

Thank you to the thousands of members and donors upon whose generous contributions allow the Delaware Nature Society to continue 

the work we do. Through our programs and activities, contributions are used in many areas, but we always strive to spend these gifts 

wisely. In fact, for two years running, we have been awarded a 4-star rating by Charity Navigator (an independent charity evaluating 

organization) for sound fiscal management and we are very proud of this accomplishment. There are many ways to give – 

membership, annual giving, memorial gifts, and contributions to special funds. Every gift is needed and important, regardless of size. 

Donors with annual combined donations of $500 or more receive an invitation to our Patrons’ Event, held in 2008 at the Wyeth’s Point 

Lookout Farm. 

We have combined all 2008 giving for a cumulative per donor total and list contributor names in the appropriate giving levels. We 

strived to ensure that all donors are represented and in the appropriate level. If there is an error or omission, contact Linda Chambers, 

Associate Director, Development & Marketing at 302-239-2334, ext. 103 and please accept our most sincere apologies. 


Financial Summary 

Delaware Nature Society concluded 2008 with a positive operating result that is overshadowed 

by negative investment performance. Mid-year fiscal concerns were proactively 

addressed with budgetary adjustments that enabled a $30,100 operating surplus 

(prior to the annual transfer to the Property, Plant & Equipment Fund.) The endowment 

accounts lost more than $3,000,000 in market value since the beginning of the year. The 

Nature Society’s master portfolio performance decreased 16.7% compared to a negative 

27.2% for the blended index. The lost market value will mostly impact future fiscal years 

in determining draws for operations. Since the 2009 draw calculation was based on values 

up to September 30, 2008 this decline will more dramatically affect our 2010 budget. 

The current economic climate drove efforts to reduce 2008 costs and budget for 2009 very 

conservatively. However, annual giving contributions, program participation levels and expansion 

to the DuPont Environmental Education Center will be key in 2009 to sustaining 

and/or growing the service provided by the Delaware Nature Society.
