Land Acquisition

We work diligently to acquire land within the watershed and/or the viewshed of Radnor Lake. Our goal is to protect the unique ecosytem of the natrual area. Accomlishing this goals requires constant diligence in tems of land acquisition, donor and neighbor relations, and funding. In our budget, the amount of income over expenses is saved for future land acquisition. 11/2015 Radnor announce a 52 acre expansion that will create the opportunity for additional trails and parking off of Franklin Road.  Other opportunities for land acquisition are always on the horizon.

Population(s) Served

Funds for Environmental Instruction and Research are spent on several programs aimed at studying the Radnor ecosystem and sharing the results with educators, student groups, and visitors. We have recently funded a water quality study; an Oral History project with MTSU; a turtle study with Lipscomb; and a GIS Mapping study with TSU. In addition, we have updated the information and map panels on the kiosks at the park.

Population(s) Served

The Junior Ranger Program is a summer internship for high school students. It is an opportunity for students to work with Rangers in the natural area and develop a greater appreciation for the park and its management. This summer, we offered 2 ten day sessions and had 10 Junior Rangers participate in each. This program is a highlight for Radnor Staff and a tremendous help to the Natural Area.

Population(s) Served

This program provides funds for equipment such a spotting scopes used by the Rangers in programming and special gear or clothing not provided through state funding. In addition, supplies such as work gloves and bottled water is purchased for monthly Volunteer Days. Friends also supports the Natural Area with  funds for  the printing of the Natural Area's Program Schedule.

Friends of Radnor Lake in partnership with the Barbara J. Mapp foundation has added a beautiful new Aviary Education Center at Radnor Lake State Natural Area. The project was completed in 2015 and turned over to the State of Tennessee. A wonderful addition to the Nashville community.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
