Financial Statement Notes

Schedule D, Page 1, Part II, Line 5

“The northern waters land trust's conservation easement and land monitoring policy outlines a commitment to annually monitor and document each conservation easement and property held in fee, ensuring that conservation values are preserved in perpetuity. This includes regular inspections, landowner engagement, and adherence to best practices to identify and address any compliance issues promptly.”

Schedule D, Page 1, Part II, Line 9

“Conservation easements accepted or purchased by the organization are not recognized as assets or revenues as the organization does not have fee title to the properties and there are no expected future economic benefits. If purchased, the cost of conservation easements are expensed when acquired.”
