IDL - 2019 ANNUAL REPORT02Regulating and providing assistance to uphold the protection of ournatural resources through implementation of laws such as the ForestPractices Act, the Lake Protection Act, and the Abandoned MineReclamation Act; Providing fire protection on more than 6 million acres of private, state,and federal lands in Idaho.Part of the Shared Stewardship goal is to double the number of acres treatedon federal forests in Idaho by 2025. Partners will begin by focusing on the6.1 million acres that have been federally designated as at risk of loss dueto insect and disease infestation. Shared Stewardship will enable us to worktogether and across a larger landscape to address the problem through thepower of partnership.These major emphasis areas form the bedrock for IDL’s success. Our missionand the work our employees do daily make a difference for the citizens ofIdaho. Even more impressive is that we are now leveraging our expertiseto help our federal partners and other stakeholders manage our state’snatural resource landscape. The most prominent example of this is the GoodNeighbor Authority (GNA), a program granted under the 2014 Farm Bill.The success of what we do for the endowments and the success of GNAand Shared Stewardship would not be achievable without the work of IDLemployees. Our skilled team of endowment foresters, private forestryspecialists, lands resource specialists, wildland firefighters, and our criticalsupport staff is what makes IDL a premier natural resource managementagency.IDL has worked with the U.S. Forest Service (Forest Service) through GNAfor the past four years. We recognize there is a forest health crisis and noone agency can tackle the issue on its own. Using IDL expertise, manpower,and state contracting procedures, we have seen an increase in timber saleson federal lands, prominently in areas threatened by insects and wildfire.In addition to the increase in harvest, GNA is also increasing the pace andscale of restoration of federal forests and rangelands. Revenues generatedfrom timber sales offset costs incurred by the state, and fund additionalmanagement activities such as reforestation, environmental planning,habitat improvements, and road and trail maintenance.As we move into another year together, we will remain focused on our greatmission. This focus is essential to deliver change and improvement on thescale needed within our communities. I thank every employee for theirdedication to the mission and for carrying out their duties with pride andprofessionalism. I am honored to be a part of this team, and I look forward totackling more challenges and celebrating additional success in the comingyear.DUSTIN T.

The strategicasset mix of the fund is 66% stocks, 26% bonds, and 8% U.S. commercialreal estate. The expected long-term return of this asset mix, after inflation, isapproximately 4% and historically market losses have occurred in one year outof three.In determining distributions, a trustee must balance the needs of current andfuture beneficiaries. It is the Land Board’s policy to distribute a conservativeestimate of long-term sustainable income, from both the fund and the land,and hold sufficient reserves of undistributed income to absorb predictable downcycles in endowment earnings. It is a priority to avoid reductions in distributionsbecause most beneficiaries depend on them to fund ongoing operations.FORESTRY 1,000OVER LAST 10 FISCAL YEARSOGCC9% 1,20010.5%ACCOUNT STATEMENTSCHRIS J.
