Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

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

“Upon accepting a conservation easement, the Land Trust assumes a perpetual obligation to monitor, at least annually, the affected property to ensure that the landowners comply with the restrictions in the easement. Further, the Land Trust is perpetually obliged to enforce provisions of the easements in the event of a violation to the terms of the easement. Enforcing an easement violation could involve costly legal or other expenses. The Land Trust classifies these easements as collections held for the benefit of the public and, although conservation easements are real property rights and the donor may receive a charitable tax deduction for an assessed value, they possess little or no market value. Because of this limited market and due to the obligations inherent in easement ownership, the Land Trust places no value on these collections of easement holdings for financial reporting purposes.”

IRS990/Desc0LAND ACQUISITION/PROTECTION - The Palouse Land Trust works with willing landowners to protect working lands, open space, and wildlife habitat in north-central Idaho and eastern Washington. The primary tool the Land Trust uses to accomplish this is a voluntary conservation agreement called a conservation easement. Since 1995, the Land Trust and local families have used conservation easements to protect threatened farmland, wildlife habitat and corridors, rare and endangered plants and habitats, and areas for the public to recreate and enjoy nature.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Outreach - The Palouse Land Trust strives to reach new audiences and constituents to describe how voluntary conservation easements can be used to protect private lands. This includes focusing on outreach to soil and water conservation districts within its service area (North-central Idaho and Eastern Washington), and also focusing on outreach to agricultural producers. The Land Trust also reaches out to the broader community to help people understand the public benefit of private land conservation by attending community and educational events, speaking to local service clubs and classes, and getting people out on the land to experience and enjoy nature.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0Upon accepting a conservation easement, the Land Trust assumes a perpetual obligation to monitor, at least annually, the affected property to ensure that the landowners comply with the restrictions in the easement. Further, the Land Trust is perpetually obliged to enforce provisions of the easements in the event of a violation to the terms of the easement. Enforcing an easement violation could involve costly legal or other expenses. The Land Trust classifies these easements as collections held for the benefit of the public and, although conservation easements are real property rights and the donor may receive a charitable tax deduction for an assessed value, they possess little or no market value. Because of this limited market and due to the obligations inherent in easement ownership, the Land Trust places no value on these collections of easement holdings for financial reporting purposes.
