Financial Statement Notes

Part II, Line 5: Summarized Policy

“Upon acquisition, a baseline document showing the current land uses and condition of the land is created, then annual monitoring compares the conditions to the baseline. Any land use changes of any kind are compared to the conservation values we are preserving in perpetuity.”

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

“From the footnotes "The Organization records land and land interests at cost if purchased or at fair value on the date of acquisition, if all or part of the land was received as a donation. Fair value is generally determined by appraisal at the time of acquisition and is not subsequently adjusted. Costs related to the acquisition of land and land interests, such as appraisals, surveys, and initial restoration are included in the total cost of the land or land interest."”

Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

“Endowments are intended to provide for the restoration, monitoring and maintenance of parcels acquired for conservation and habitat protection”
