| Desc | Stewardship, Restoration, and Public Access Conserving Carolina continued to steward and enforce the conservation easements it holds, while striving to bring the most current scientific land management resources to our partner landowners. Conserving Carolina also continued its management of the properties it owns by partnering with federal and state agencies, volunteers, and others to increase biological diversity, enhance wildlife habitat, and address other land management needs. Among restoration projects, Conserving Carolina installed pollinator habitat on public and private conserved properties, actively engaged in several stream and wetland restoration projects on private lands and lands that it owns and continued to combat nonnative invasive plant species throughout its service area. Conserving Carolina partnered with state and local governments to create new public parks and recreational lands and to advance greenways, multi-use paths, and trails for a multitude of user groups throughout the region by creating new opportunities for trail construction and maintaining trails. | Desc |

| Explanation | The Organization has received a determination from the U.S. Treasury Department stating that it qualifies under the provisions of Section 501c3 of the Internal Revenue Code as a tax-exempt organization. Accordingly, no accounting for federal or state income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. The Organization recognizes a tax benefit only if it is more likely than not the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized will be the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the more-likely-than-not test, no tax benefit will be recorded. Conserving Carolina and Subsidiaries has examined this issue and has determined there are no material contingent tax liabilities at June 30, 2025 and 2024.
