FORM 990, PART XI, LINE 9:

“ROUNDING -4.”

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

“The finance committee is primarily responsible for providing financial oversight for the organization, including annual budgeting and short and long term financial planning, financial reporting, and the creation and monitoring of internal controls and accountability policies.”

Financial Statement Notes

PART II, LINE 9:

“The conservancy acquires easements through both grants and purchase. The acquisition of easements establishes a fiduciary responsibility for the conservancy and no recording of an asset or liability is required.”

PART X, LINE 2:

“Fasb asc 740-10, accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. Based on an evaluation of uncertain tax positions, management is required to measure potential tax liabilities that could have a risk of greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. As of december 31, 2020, management has determined that the organization has no such risk and therefore no liabilities have been recorded for uncertain tax positions. The organization is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code, except on net income derived from unrelated business activities. The organization believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken, and as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions material to the financial statements.”
