Major Activities

Activity 2

Land conservation: in 2011, the conservancy purchased a conservation easement on the 34-acre judd ranch in hoytsville. In addition to this easement, the staff spent many hours working on six new easement projects, writing grants, drafting baseline documents and reviewing draft easements. The summit land conservancy received considerable pro-bono legal work mostly related to the negotiation of these easements.

Activity 3

Stewardship: pursuant to the conservancy's policy that each conservation easement be monitored each year, the summit land conservancy's staff, along with volunteers and interns, visited each property under easement and compiled a written monitoring report. Copies of these reports were delivered to each landowner, and the staff met with all of the landowners to discuss any issues of concern in the reports. The conserancy has a separate stewardship endowment account to cover the cost of annual monitoring and easement defense in the future. Approximately 200 volunteer hours were donated towards stewardship.
