Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 2C:

The process regarding the audit committee's oversight of the audit and review of the financial statements has remained consistent with the prior year process.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The organization has adopted the guidance in the fasb codification topic related to uncertainty in income taxes which prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements uncertain tax positions that the organization has taken or expects to take in its tax returns. Under the guidance, the organization may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is "more likely than not" that it is sustainable, based on its technical merits. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. The organization believes that it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its returns.

PART XI, LINE 4B - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

Rental property expenses -18,392.

PART XII, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS:

Rental property expenses 18,392.

IRS990/Desc0LAND PRESERVATION: IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LANDOWNERS, CONSERVE LAKE COUNTY PRESERVES NATURAL AREAS AND FARMLAND IN LAKE COUNTY THROUGH A VARIETY OF METHODS. THESE METHODS INCLUDE CONSERVATION EASEMENT, LAND DONATION, AND ACQUISITION AS WE DID IN 2007 WITH THE PURCHASE OF CASEY FARM. SOMETIMES WE PLAY A VALUABLE ROLE AS A CATALYST AND FACILITATOR. FOR EXAMPLE, WE ENCOURAGED A LOCAL FAMILY TO SELL AN IMPORTANT PARCEL TO THE FOREST PRESERVE DISTRICT AND HELPED THEM WORK OUT MUTUALLY AGREEABLE TERMS. THROUGH POLICY, PLANNING, AND ADVOCACY INITIATIVES WE ALSO HELP BRING ABOUT LAND PRESERVATION SUCCESSES. ONE EXAMPLE IS THE LIBERTY PRAIRIE RESERVE WHERE COLLABORATIVE PLANNING HAS RESULTED IN 3,400 ACRES BEING PRESERVED BY PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PARTNERS.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0LAND STEWARDSHIP: CONSERVE LAKE COUNTY RESTORES LAND TO GOOD HEALTH ON PROPERTY IT OWNS AND ALSO HELPS PRIVATE LANDOWNERS AND PUBLIC PARTNERS BE GOOD STEWARDS OF THEIR LANDS. MANY LANDOWNERS WANT TO CARE FOR THEIR PROPERTIES IN WAYS THAT PROMOTE HEALTHY SOILS, BIODIVERSITY, AND CLEAN WATER BUT NEED HELP USING THE BEST CONSERVATION PRACTICES. FOR EXAMPLE, AT THE DOKUM MSKODA NATURE PRESERVE IN WAUKEGAN (WHICH WE HELPED ESTABLISH) WE ARE MANAGING THE RESTORATION OF IMPORTANT HABITAT THERE FOR A FEDERALLY THREATENED SPECIES OF WILDFLOWER ON BEHALF OF THE LOCAL HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, CHICAGO WILDERNESS, AND SEVERAL PUBLIC AGENCIES. WE ALSO ENGAGE VOLUNTEERS TO HELP WITH LAND RESTORATION WORK AT TWO SITES. AS AN EXTENSION OF OUR LAND STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM, IN 2013 WE MOVED FORWARD WITH A COOPERATIVE SUSTAINABLE FARMING VENTURE AT OUR CASEY FARM PROPERTY IN COOPERATION WITH THE LIBERTY PRAIRIE FOUNDATION, RADICAL ROOT ORGANIC FARM, AND THE LAKE COUNTY FOREST PRESERVE. THIS WILL DEMONSTRATE SUSTAINABLE FARMING PRACTICES THAT WILL BENEFIT THE LAND AND WATER OF LAKE COUNTY.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0OUTREACH AND EDUCATION: THROUGH OUR CONSERVATION@HOME PROGRAM, WE HELP EDUCATE PROPERTY OWNERS ABOUT BEST CONSERVATION PRACTICES FOR THEIR HOME AND BUSINESS PROPERTIES. THROUGH THE END OF 2013, THE CONSERVATION@HOME PROGRAM HAS PROVIDED FREE ONE-HOUR CONSULTATION VISITS TO OVER 525 PROPERTY OWNERS IN 37 MUNICIPALITIES. DURING THESE VISITS WE OFFER ADVICE ON NATURE-FRIENDLY LANDSCAPING PRACTICES, INCLUDING THE USE OF NATIVE PLANTS. WE ALSO CERTIFY PROPERTIES THAT MEET A THRESHOLD OF THOSE PRACTICES AND PROVIDE A SIGN THAT REWARDS THEIR HARD WORK AND PROMOTES THE PROGRAM. WE ALSO PROVIDE PRESENTATIONS AND ORGANIZE EDUCATIONAL EVENTS THAT OFFER THE PUBLIC THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT NATURE AND HOW TO LIVE WITH IT. FINALLY, WE HOLD PLANT SALES TO ENCOURAGE PROPERTY OWNERS TO PLANT NATIVES AND EDUCATE THEM ON APPROPRIATE PLANTS FOR THEIR PROPERTIES
