Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part II, Line 3-Summary of easement written policies

The Land Conservancy has a written policy that states how the organization will monitor, inspect and handle violations and enforcement of conservation easements. The policy establishes the procedure the organization will follow in the event of a potential easement violation and the appropriate enforcement action. The policy prescribes actions staff will take in assessing and documenting a potential violation, and steps that will be taken by staff and board to resolve any violation, including possible legal action. The Land Conservancy uses the Michigan model conservation easement as the basis for its conservation easements.

Part II, Line 9-Description of easement reporting

The Conservancy assigns a value of $1 to donated and purchased easements and includes them in net assets with donor restrictions to be held in perpetuity.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0The Land Conservancy is Keeping Nature Nearby by permanently preserving land that is important to West Michigans quality of life and environment. We do this by (1) establishing conservancy-owned nature preserves that are open to the public, (2) working with landowners to create conservation easements that protect natural habitats and open spaces on private property and (3) working in partnership with government agencies and communities to create parks and natural areas open to the public for their enjoyment and study of nature.
