AMENDMENT: GREEN MOUNTAIN CONSERVNACY: THE PURPOSES OF THE GREEN MOUNTAIN CONSERVANCY EASEMENT ARE TO CONSERVE WILDLIFE HABITAT, FOREST VALUES, SCENIC RESOURCES, NON-COMMERCIAL RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES, EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, PLANT HABITAT FOR ECOLOGICAL AND BIOLOGICAL HEALTH OF THE PROPERTY, AND PUBLIC ACCESS OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRESENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS. THIS AMENDMENT FURTHERED THE CONSERVATION PURPOSES OF THE EASEMENT BY ADDING 29.77 ACRES OF PREVIOUSLY UNCONSERVED LAND TO THE EASEMENT. IN ADDITION, THE AMENDMENT FURTHERED THE CONSERVATION PURPOSES OF THE EASEMENT BY ADDING MORE ACREAGE TO THE FOREST PROTECTION ZONE.

THE VLT BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND THE VERMONT HOUSING AND CONSERVATION BOARD APPROVED THIS AMENDMENT. AMENDMENT: BUTLER J&B: THIS CORRECTIVE AMENDMENT FIXED AN ERROR IN THE PROPERTY LEGAL DESCRIPTION CONTAINED IN THE SCHEDULE A OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT, WHICH ERRONEOUSLY INCLUDED A REFERENCE TO A DEED FOR LAND WHICH WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE CONSERVED. THE ERROR IS EVIDENCED IN THE CONTENT OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENT, THE BASELINE DOCUMENTATION REPORT AND THE CONSERVATION MAP, WHICH DEMONSTRATE THAT THERE WAS NO INTENTION TO CONSERVE SAID LAND. THE VLT BOARD OF TRUSTEES, THE VERMONT HOUSING AND CONSERVATION BOARD AND THE USDA ACTING THROUGH NRCS APPROVED THIS CORRECTIVE AMENDMENT.
