“The 990 is reviewed by management and emailed to board members for their review.”

“Board members are provided a copy of the policy annually. They read and sign a statement acknowledging that they have read and understand the policy. At any board meeting where a conflict of interest may arise, the board undertakes an analysis of the situation based on the policy and determines whether or not there is a conflict. If there is a conflict, they handle the issue according to the policy.”

“Tar river land conservancy preserves the natural and cultural resources of the tar river basin and surrounding areas by working in partnership with private landowners, public agencies and others to protect rural land, riparian corridors and ensure clean water.”

“Tar river land conservancy conveyed three (3) conservation easements, having a total appraised value of 969,000, to the north carolina clean water management trust fund concurrent with the purchase of the tracts in fee simple. The conservation easements were not pre-existing; they were conveyed as a part of the purchase transaction.”

“4) acquired fee simple title to 148 acres in warren county, which lands provide a buffer for fishing creek. 5) received by donation the fee simple title to 146.56 acres in franklin county, which lands provide buffers for unnamed tributaries of cedar creek. Trlc received a conservation easement on the 146.56 acres on december 27, 2013. In order to avoid a "merger of title" when the fee simple title interest was conveyed to trlc, trlc conveyed the conservation easement to the conservation trust for north carolina. 6) spent significant time and resources on a land protection project of over 1,000 acres located in granville county, which lands will provide a buffer for falls lake and its tributaries. 7) worked to construct hiking trails at the ledge creek conservation area, and engaged local volunteers, and the youth conservation corps, as a part of the process. 8) hosted two well-attended educational hikes, including our annual field day. The events were held on preserved properties in granville and franklin counties. 9) monitored 88 conservation easements held by trlc. 10) monitored 40 conservation easements held by the state of nc. 11) monitored 32 tracts owned outright by trlc. 12) submitted an application for re-accreditation to the land trust accreditation commission. 13) drafted a new reserved rights policy, updated record keeping, and prepared land management plans as a part of the re-accreditation process. 14) awarded the north carolina forest service - forest stewardship partnership award for trlc's work with landowners in support of the forest stewardship program.”
