Financial Statement Notes

Part II, Line 9:

“The Organization's express purpose is the "Protection of Farmland, in Perpetuity, for Agricultural Purposes". The methods used to accomplish this purpose involve both the recording and the monitoring of restrictive covenants which permanently limit the use of the subject land to agricultural purposes. As an integral part of its exempt purpose, the Organization, in conjunction with State and local programs, will purchase unrestricted farmland, record permanently restrictive covenants, and resell the farmland to a conservation buyer. Additionally, the Organization will buy, hold and/or resell Calvert County "Transfer Development Rights". All easements are recorded on the books at cost.”

Part IV, Line 2B:

“The Organization holds in escrow principal amounts provided by the State of Maryland's Dept. of Natural Resources - Rural Legacy Program. The State Program requires its preserved properties to be inspected every third year; the interest income generated from the invested escrow funds is deemed earned by the Organization as compensation for providing ongoing easement monitoring services.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Organization's express purpose is the "Protection of Farmland, in Perpetuity, for Agricultural Purposes". The methods used to accomplish this purpose involve both the recording and the monitoring of restrictive covenants which permanently limit the use of the subject land to agricultural purposes. As an integral part of its exempt purpose, the Organization, in conjunction with State and local programs, will purchase unrestricted farmland, record permanently restrictive covenants, and resell the farmland to a conservation buyer. Additionally, the Organization will buy, hold and/or resell Calvert County "Transfer Development Rights". All easements are recorded on the books at cost.
IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The Organization holds in escrow principal amounts provided by the State of Maryland's Dept. of Natural Resources - Rural Legacy Program. The State Program requires its preserved properties to be inspected every third year; the interest income generated from the invested escrow funds is deemed earned by the Organization as compensation for providing ongoing easement monitoring services.
