IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Ashby Land Trust monitors all conservation restrictions on an annual basis to identify any violations of the restrictions or changes in the properties, to develop and maintain good relations with landowners and residents, and to establish and maintain records of property condition to supplement the baseline documentation taken when the conservation property was accepted. The monitoring reports are provided to the landowner and the president, and if a violation is found a legal task force is formed to assist in the deceision making process of resolving the issues.
IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1To date, Ashby Land Trust has not accounted for conservation easements in its revenue and expense statements or balance sheet. The Trust has accounted for land where it has a fee interest in its financial statements.
