Schedule D, Page 1, Part II, Line 5

“The stewardship committee is charged with monitoring, inspection, handling of violations, and enforcement of the conservation easements held by the organization. Properties are inspected to determine if the property owner is adhering to the restrictions imposed by the terms of the easement. If a violation of the easement agreement is found, action is taken by the organization to compel the property owner to adhere to the terms of the conservation easement.”

Schedule D, Page 1, Part II, Line 9

The conservancy has acquired numerous easements in oakland county, michigan in which the donor grants a perpetual conservation easement over the property. The purpose of the easement is to preserve the natural, scenic, open space, scientific, biological and ecological values of the property. Any uses of the easement property, which may impair or interfere with the conservation values, are expressly prohibited by the easement document. Disclosure includes: property name, year acquired and number of acres. Conservation easements are not included in the organization's financial statements.”
