“The Virginia Outdoors Foundation has the responsibility to enter the property from time to time (usually on an annual basis) for purposes of inspection and enforcement of the terms of the easement after permission from and reasonable notice has been given to the University. The Foundation has the right to bring an action at law or in equity to enforce the restrictions as outlined in the easement. The right specifically includes the right to require restoration of the property to a condition thereafter changed in a manner consistent with the restrictions. A report is received from the Virginia Outdoors Foundation detailing their visit and any issues that might arise.”

“The Virginia Outdoors Foundation easement was included with a gift of a 470 acre farm received in 1998. In December of 2016, an additional 21 adjacent acres were donated to be added to the easement. Both gifts were substantiated by a real estate appraisal report and recorded as an asset of the University on the Statement of Financial Position and as gift revenue on the Statement of Activities when received.”
