Drinking Water

Celebrate! Facilities staff has completed the installation of the state required drinking water disinfection system for all OLT facilities: Main Bath, Pool Bath, Welcome Center, Sunset Rooms, Spruce House, Pavilion, Oak House, Cottonwood, Elm, and Willow cabins. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has removed their boil order. The water is tested daily for the required chlorine residual and the filters that remove the disinfectant work well so that the drinking water tastes clean and chemical free. It has been a big project. Thanks to everyone for your patience and understanding as we worked through the details of design, installation, and testing. Enjoy drinking the water and be assured in knowing that it is safe. The state has a few more requirements that we will be adding and we are working on the occasional low pressure concerns. The good news is that we no longer have to provide jugs of chlorinated water that tasted of chemical and added hours of work every day.

Summer is Almost Gone

Thanks to everyone for another enjoyable summer. This year, there were some challenges: County wide Fire Ban, dry weather, reduced volume of water from the springs, and skies that were sometimes smoky from the many fires throughout the region and the entire west. We've had some welcome rainfall in the past few weeks and the fire ban has been lifted. We are in a desert and fire is always a danger but it is less like a tinder box since the rain. Reduced water volume from the springs made for a longer fill time for the swimming pool after each cleaning every Wednesday. We did use the diesel generator as back-up as we repaired the collection box and that did help fill the pool more quickly for those weeks. Switching from hydroelectric power to diesel and then back does interrupt power and cause some electronic devices to require re-setting. We apologize for any problems that may have been caused by that.

The days are shorter, the nights are cooler. We would like to see more snowfall this winter and if we could get some more rain in the next few months, we could recover a bit from the nearly year long drought. Thanks to all for the extra care with smoking and fire this summer. Your thoughtfulness saw us safely through thus far. Finding cigarette butts along paths or at the pools is unsightly and disappointing. Please smoke only inside the Smoke Hut or inside your vehicle

2017 Annual Report

Annual Report to Audited Financials and IRS 990

We've streamlined our presentation of the Annual Report for 2017 again and included links to the full Audit Report with graphs and the IRS Form 990 . This provides the most detailed information about OLT's financial health and well being for 2017.  We have been sending regular monthly email newsletter updates (archived on the website) which include information and highlights that used to be in the annual report.  This website presentation takes the place of the printed and mailed format that we have used in the past, which saves considerable costs while allowing us to provide more information.  If you prefer printed copies of this material, we can provide that at your request.  If you would like to provide an additional donation of support to OLT (or renew your membership) please use the links to the donation form below, call us, or use the online donation form. Feel free to provide any feedback to Executive Director Doug Bishop. Thank you.

Treasurer's Report

- Patrick Comiskey

The board received the 2017 audit report from Taylor, Roth company in early June. Scott McCumber, Doug Bishop and I reviewed the report with the auditors in a phone conference on May 9th. The audit opinion was unqualified indicating that there were no material issues relative to generally accepted accounting principles. Net assets of Orient Land Trust increased by $277,999 for 2017. Comparing to 2016 results, total revenue and support increased by $72,141 while total expense increased $31,171. Notable increases in expense occurred in the labor and payroll tax categories as would be expected as the number of visitors continues to increase each year. There was also some discussion regarding possible tax issues related to sales of products produced at the Everson Ranch. While not an issue currently, Taylor, Roth and Company will continue to advise us if and when this becomes an issue.

The database project implementation is taking much longer than the board had desired or expected. Recent decisions will hopefully result in the project getting back on track and ready for full implementation in the near future. Management and the board continue to believe that this new application will create opportunities and efficiencies beyond those that were obvious at the time the decision was made.

As in the past, I would attribute these results to the excellent performance of the organization's management team, the wonderful support and efforts of the volunteers and what I believe to be the vigilant oversight of the board.

For 2018 and the future, the organization continues to explore land conservation opportunities including land acquisition. The year 2018 is shaping up to result in another positive increase in the organization's assets. As stewards of these resources, I am confident that the board will continue to pursue and achieve the conservation goals of OLT.

Notes from the board Chair

Doug Bishop
- John Standish 

I have had the privilege of serving as OLT’s Board Chair for another year during this period of continued steady-handed growth, management and operation. Highlights of the year included the second Fall Ranch Celebration, which featured locally sourced food and music by Colorado Springs’ Flying W Wranglers. While the celebration was not a big money maker for OLT, it was a solid success from the perspective of enhancing awareness of the dramatic improvements and activities taking place at Everson Ranch, including their new veggie garden.

After many years of research, 2017 also encompassed an intensive push to create OLT’s new reservation and database system through the engagement of a contracted Denver software developer. The inherent complexity of the project and delays along the way derailed the planned launch of the new database in December. Happily, the current stopgap application developed by Chris Miller continues to be solid and should hold us over as need be until the new database system is ready for prime time.

A second major project that began in late 2017 was the installation of a chlorination system that was the result of the state’s mandate to disinfect the tap water that up until that point had been untreated from the source of the spring in the Valley View Hot Springs property. The new system needed to be comprehensive as well as systemic, involving the rerouting and treating of multiple piping and filtration systems within the village. Since we all have been spoiled by the great tasting untreated water at OLT for many years, no one relished the idea of having to add chemicals to Valley View’s water, so I was thrilled to discover that in the interest of keeping OLT’s water as pure and good-tasting as possible, the new system plans included the addition of dechlorination filters for the drinking water at every stage.

As the positive reputation of OLT continues to spread, more and more visitors have committed to spending time at Valley View to relax in the soothing waters, hike up to the bat cave or on the many trails on the slopes of the Sangre de Cristos, view the stars through the newly acquired high-power telescope, or just chill. The downside of OLT’s growing popularity has been an increasing tendency to meet the daily quota throughout the year—including weekdays in winter—and the necessity of staff having to turn away impromptu visitors once the capacity has been reached.

The evolution of the summer Science Camp has also become a big success, as is the case with volunteer programs such as the weed pull that continue to enhance and educate. Moreover, OLT seems to be on track to sustain its legacy of conservation, education and enrichment for many years to come.

 

OLT's Executive Director Message

Doug Bishop
- Doug Bishop

The most important thing to say is, “Thank You!” The success of Orient Land Trust depends on everybody. The hard-working staff keeps operations and facilities running efficiently and reliably. Volunteers cover the many details of keeping things humming. Among the volunteers, we have Bat Hosts, Camp Hosts, Discovery Hosts and many people who give of their time and muscle to do what needs to be done. The board of directors also are important volunteers that tend to the business of Orient Land Trust with thoughtfulness and attention to details during the long board meetings. Directors prepare to carefully and thoroughly consider all the issues that are discussed and the decisions that need to be made. Guests and visitors for helping keep things tidy and neat. Staff works diligently to get things done and help people get what they need quickly and cheerfully. Perhaps most importantly, we want to say thank you to the members and guests that are respectful and compassionate visitors creating and maintaining the community that thrives here, even though it is difficult to define. To all, two inadequate words that are probably too infrequent, Thank You!

The year 2017 presented some challenges. The Colorado Department of Public Health, Drinking Water Division now requires us to provide disinfected drinking water. The project is a large one that involves separating the drinking water from the geothermal water. Our engineer came up with a system that provides for the state required disinfection and includes a final filter that removes the disinfection chemistry. Late 2017 we did much of the trenching and pipe installation. The garden at the Everson Ranch was larger and more successful. We grew many pumpkins along with other garden produce. Mike and Cherrye were busy with weekend meals and farm tours. OLT engaged in building a new database and reservation system. Our operations are unusual and the needs are complex. Thankfully, the old database continues to function and we are relying on it to keep up with the demands until the new software is finished and tested.

Attendance for 2017 was up over the year before. We are filling our capacity limits more frequently, especially during mild weather. We reach capacity every day in the summer. Some days fill earlier than other days. As the population of Colorado grows, and people like what they learn about Orient Land Trust, admission to the hot springs will require a reservation more and more frequently. We don’t like turning people away. We do that to protect and preserve the hot springs from overuse.

 

2017 Visitation

The year showed an increase in day and overnight admission passes, adult and child visitation. We have a great staff who managed the Welcome Center, guest registration, housekeeping and facilities maintenance.  Seasonal volunteers supported staff as ambassadors, hosts and tour guides. We received many compliments from guests that our staff and volunteers are friendly, helpful and added to the experience of visiting OLT!

2017 Volunteer Report

Volunteer Program:  Best ever!  We had many experienced and devoted volunteers return along with some exceptional new people joining the program. Our program grew by an additional 15 volunteers and 143 person-hours! 128 volunteers donated 8,275.25 person-hours!  This year we received many compliments about our camp and discovery hosts and tour guides. OLT hosted the third annual Volunteer Appreciation Weekend on December 1 & 2, which was attended by 42 volunteers. Warm weather was a plus, we had a great potluck at the pavilion celebrating our community!  This program is on a solid foundation and continues to grow and improve. Many of our volunteers expressed sincere gratitude at being a part of the OLT Family and have already committed to returning for 2018. So much gratitude goes to these devoted volunteers who help us to keep this exceptional place running smoothly!

2017 Educational Programs

Educational Programs: We gave 553 Educational Tours to 4,997 youth, adults and seniors.  That is an increase of 236 tours to an additional 1237 people from 2016!

Astronomy, Bat and Everson Ranch tours were offered daily throughout the summer and Hydroelectric Tours were offered weekly or upon request. We did not have a geologist available on a regular basis so geology tours were offered for science camp and upon request.  This was the first year we kept track of hot springs tours and history tours. A Hot Springs tour consists of a staff or volunteer walking guests around the hot springs and telling them about our mission, community, membership, educational programs and culture.

Science Camp: We had an increase in registration to 30, which almost doubled from past years!  OLT’s program continues to grow, offering new workshops and educational experiences. Science camp workshops are led by OLT staff and volunteers and are sponsored by a Saguache County Sales Tax Grant of $2,550.   

Everson Ranch tours were offered daily this summer (not just weekends as in 2016) and we recorded the greatest increase of almost 400 guest visitations in this program.  Guests loved the Ranch, visiting the animals, seeing the bees, gardens, and greenhouse. The Ranch was used as our base for Science Camp, which took impact away from the hot springs.  As our registration grew, we needed more space and the ranch worked great, offering workshops under the big tent. Mike and Cherrye were instrumental in the Ranch Program success by welcoming guests, supervising volunteers, giving tours and hosting events.
