Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“The process has not changed from the prior year.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART II, LINE 5:

“The trust has a 4 page policy approved by its board in april 2024 regarding the monitoring, inspection, violations and enforecement of conservation easements. The policy outlines the necessity of monitoring, clarifies violations and addresses how the trust will address such violations.”

PART II, LINE 9:

“Conservation easements are legal documents recorded with the county clerk in accordance with new york state law. A conservation easement places legally enforceable, permanent restrictions on the development and other uses of the property. Conservation easements are negotiated between the landowner and the organization based on the conservation values of the property and the wishes of the landowner. By accepting a conservation easement, the organization is responsible to ensure compliance with the easement and any associated costs of enforcement in perpetuity. The estimated value of the easements is not included in the balance sheet because the easements do not represent a future economic benefit to the organization.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE TRUST HAS A 4 PAGE POLICY APPROVED BY ITS BOARD IN APRIL 2024 REGARDING THE MONITORING, INSPECTION, VIOLATIONS AND ENFORECEMENT OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS. THE POLICY OUTLINES THE NECESSITY OF MONITORING, CLARIFIES VIOLATIONS AND ADDRESSES HOW THE TRUST WILL ADDRESS SUCH VIOLATIONS.
IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1CONSERVATION EASEMENTS ARE LEGAL DOCUMENTS RECORDED WITH THE COUNTY CLERK IN ACCORDANCE WITH NEW YORK STATE LAW. A CONSERVATION EASEMENT PLACES LEGALLY ENFORCEABLE, PERMANENT RESTRICTIONS ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER USES OF THE PROPERTY. CONSERVATION EASEMENTS ARE NEGOTIATED BETWEEN THE LANDOWNER AND THE ORGANIZATION BASED ON THE CONSERVATION VALUES OF THE PROPERTY AND THE WISHES OF THE LANDOWNER. BY ACCEPTING A CONSERVATION EASEMENT, THE ORGANIZATION IS RESPONSIBLE TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE EASEMENT AND ANY ASSOCIATED COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT IN PERPETUITY. THE ESTIMATED VALUE OF THE EASEMENTS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE BALANCE SHEET BECAUSE THE EASEMENTS DO NOT REPRESENT A FUTURE ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO THE ORGANIZATION.
