Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part II, Line 9:

The organization records donated and purchased charitable conservation easements as an asset on the balance sheet at $1.

Part X, Line 2:

Management of the organization is required to determine whether a tax position of the organization is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation process, based on technical merits of the position. Management of the organization is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, management's conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). The organization's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Part V, Line 4

At December 31, 2014, the intended uses and balances of the board designated quasi-endowment funds are as follows: $299,661 is restricted for future legal defense, servicing conservation easements and servicing property; $843,525 is for future opportunities to conserve land and $17,070 established an endowment fund to attract future donor gifts.
