Colchester Land Trust Inc C/O Andrew George

“Colchester land trust, inc. Monitors the easements on an annual basis by walking the easement boundaries, areas of restricted use, and areas of recent activity. The monitoring is conducted by volunteers who are assigned stewards of the property. The owner of the property is contacted in advance along with being invited to attend the monitoring inspection. The volunteer stewards report all monitoring on colchester land trust's easement monitoring form. This form is filled out by the individual who performed the monitoring which is then reviewed by the committee chair. The land owner also reviews the form. All forms are kept in their respective folders in cloud storage. The colchester land trust maintains a close working relationship with the owner of the property where the easement is located. This allows for notification/discussion of any changes in ownership or the property itself.”
