Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Part II, Line 5

“Policies are in place for all conservation easements to ensure monitoring, inspection, and enforcement occur on an annual basis.”

Schedule D, Part II, Line 9

“Acquired conservation easements are not recognized as assets in the statemen of financial position or revenues in the statement of financial activity because the typical conservation easement provides BRLC with no affirmative rights except to monitor and enforce the easement. If purchased, the costs are expensed when the easements are acquired. Easements will be disclosed in the footnotes of the financial statements. As of December 31st 2023, BRLC held 3 conservation easements; Easement one (Bear River Bottoms) in Cache County, is comprised of approximately 455 acres of land, Easement two (Lakota Preserve) in Rich County is comprised of approximately 2.7 acres of land, Easement three (Schiess Property) in Cache County is comprised of approximately 25.5 acres of land, and Easement four (Evans Ranch) in Cache County is comprised of approximately 1054.32 acres of land.”

Schedule D, Part V, Line 4

“The board has established quasi-endowment funds for two major purposes: staff support and position security and monitoring, management, and enforcement of conservation easements and fee title properties.”
