THESE PROPERTIES WILL BE PRESERVED AND ARE REPORTED AT FAIR VALUE AT THE TIME RECEIVED. IT IS THE ORGANIZATION'S POLICY TO REDUCE THE FAIR VALUE OF THE PROPERTY TO ITS IMPAIRED VALUE BASED ON THE VALUATION PROVIDED BY THE TOWN IN WHICH IT RESIDES BASED ON THE FIRST TAX BILL RECEIVED AFTER CONSERVATION. THE ORGANIZATION MAINTAINS A POLICY WHEREBY CONTRIBUTIONS OF DONATED CONSERVATION LAND THAT WOULD TYPICALLY NEED TO BE PURCHASED IF NOT PROVIDED BY DONATION, IS RECORDED AS ITS FAIR MARKET VALUE IN THE PERIOD RECEIVED.
