Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 1, Part II, Line 5

“The trust has a written policy regarding the monitoring and enforcement of conservation easements (ce) which is designed to protect the integrity of the ce. Members of our stewardship committee regularly visit each ce (in most cases once a year) to identify violations, comparing existing conditions with those described in detailed baseline documents prepared for each ce. Such visits are documented with a written report and photos as necessary. Violations are addressed. The board has set aside a budget for managing violations. Our easement documents alert the ce landowner that monitoring and enforcement will take place.”

Schedule D, Page 1, Part II, Line 9

“The organization does not report its conservation easements in its revenue and expense statement or its balance sheet since they are valued at zero.”
