Financial Statement Notes

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

“The Organization has acquired and holds a number of conservation easements, each representing a legal interest in the land owned by another person or entity. The easements grant the Organization the right to use, control, and protect the land for conservation purposes. Easements donated or purchased by the Organization are not recognized as assets or revenues in the accompanying financial statements because the Organization holds no affirmative rights except to monitor and enforce the easement. If purchased, the costs of conservation easements are expensed when theeasements are acquired. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Organization did not purchase any conservation easements. At December 31, 2017, the Organization held 125 conservation easements on approximately 89,952 acres of land.Land held for conservation includes land preserves donated or purchased by the Organization for conservation purposes. Acquisitions of land are capitalized at cost, if purchased, or the fair market value on the date of donation, if received as a gift. As of December 31, 2017, the Organization held approximately 2,364 acres of land for conservation purposes.”
