Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III, Line 4D

OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Stewardship- protecting and enhancing the conservation values of the lands acquired by the trust, and doing so in perpetuity, is an important aspect of the trust's work. the trust evaluates each property it holds for its conservation value, as well as the threats to these values, and develops and implements a stewardship plan based on this analysis. the plan includes detailed monitoring on an annual basis. current costs associated with the trust's stewardship efforts are expensed as incurred. the costs of future obligations represent a commitment of the trust and will be recorded as they are incurred.

Financial Statement Notes

Part II, Line 5: Summarized Policy

SCT follows all Land Trust Alliance standards and policies when it comes to monitoring and enforcement, verbiage is built into each easement and is in the Land Trust Accreditation Commission's Policy.

Part II, Line 9: Organization Reporting of conservation easements.

The Trust has acquired and holds a number of conservation easements, each representing a legal interest in land owned by another person or entity. The easements grant the Trust the right to use, control, and/or protect the land for conservation purposes. Because of the unique nature of these assets, the impracticality of obtaining consistent and reliable estimates of the values ascribed to these interests, and consistent with the practices followed by many environmental land trusts, the accompanying financial statements do not include any amounts for these property interests. At March 31,2024 the Trust held 235 conservation easements on 56,259 acres of land.

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

The Trusts application of ASC 740 regarding uncertain tax positions had no effect on its financial position as management believes the Trust has no material unrecognized income tax benefits, including any potential risk of loss of its not-for-profit tax status. The Trust would account for any potential interest or penalties related to possible future liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits as income tax expense. The Trust is no longer subject to examination by federal, state or local tax authorities for periods before 2021.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Public Nature Areas - Protecting and enhancing the conservation values of lands acquired by the Trust is some of the most important work in which the Trust is involved. It is the responsibility of the Stewardship Program to protect conservation values and to be a good neighbor and community member for all Trust properties through science-based management. The Trust evaluates every property for its conservation value, the threats to these values, and for opportunities to enhance conservation values through responsible management.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Education - The Trust increases awareness about the benefits of private land conservation and the mission of the Trust. Methods include focusing education and outreach to support conservation in priority areas, targeting technical advisors to landowners, showcasing successful projects to promote conservation and stewardship, and introducing the general public to land conservation through tours and publications. The Trust also provides multiple camps and educational programs throughout the year.The southern conservation trust's environmental education efforts in Fayette county impacts 20,000+ students each year through partnerships with 24 public schools, four private schools, and dozens of homestead groups. sct owns and operates nesmith environmental study area, the first in an expansion of educational projects within fayette county. sct offers four full weeks of camp wild, and educational summer camp for children at line creek and the ridge nature area. working with clayton state university, we have identified over 740 box turtles and launched a protection project at the ridge nature area. sct hold dozens of educational events throughout the year. we are looking forward to opening our latest project, the fayette environmental education center (FEEC), later this year. FEEC will be a premier environmental education destination south of atlanta for children and adults of all ages to learn about the wonders of nature in Georgia and how to have meaningful interactions with nature.
