Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 1, Part II, Line 5

The vice president land protection will manage and oversee the monitoring of all conservation easements and updates to baseline documentation reports. Each property will be monitored once per calendar year. Monitoring inspections are either performed remotely utilizing satellite/aerial imagery or in-person by walking the entirety of the property. Internal policy requires an in-person inspection once per three year cycle. During the in-person inspection, lft staff or monitoring volunteer make every effort to speak with the landowner (s) or his/her representative during the visit. If staff or a volunteer identifies any areas of concern or potential or actual easement violation, they are instructed to document this with digital photography, collect as much information as possible, and immediately inform the vice president of land protection and president/ceo. Within 30 days following the annual inspections, a monitoring report and any updates to the baseline documentation report are mailed to the landowner (s). The requirement of an annual inspection is documented within the language of the conservation easement document.

Schedule D, Page 1, Part II, Line 9

The trust acquires conservation interests in land by donation and purchase of conservation easements. Conservation easements do not meet the criteria for asset recognition under generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, there is no asset on the statement of financial position for purchased or donated easements. Donated easements are reflected as in-kind contributions and expenses on the statement of activities at fair value. Purchased easements are reflected as in-kind contributions and expenses on the statement of activities to the extent their fair values exceed their cost.
