IRS990/Desc0Land protection and stewardship: Since incorporating in 1992, LPOSC has accepted donations of conservation easements permanently protecting in excess of 20,709 acres of land with superior conservation values across six counties in southwestern Colorado. In October 2024, LPOSC implemented LANDSCAPE, a secure, cloud-based land conservation software platform designed by former land trust professionals. The system centralizes project management, annual monitoring, exercised rights, issue tracking, funding management, and accreditation reporting thereby enhancing organizational efficiency, long-term accountability, and transparency. This platform strengthens LPOSCs ability to maintain compliance with accrediation requirements and land trust best practice standards. As a certified conservation easement holder, LPOSC is legally obligated to monitor land use and ecological conditions on each property on which it holds a conservation easement to ensure that the conserved land and natural resources are being used in compliance with the terms of the conservation easement. Monitoring helps LPOSC to establish and/or maintain valuable relationships with owners of conserved land, and further helps to foster LPOSCs image in the community as a trusted land steward. This is in addition to work the organization does with numerous private landowners to secure protection of other valuable open spaces, wildlife habitat, recreational areas, and agricultural land in the region.
