IN SOME INSTANCES WHEN THE TRUST PURCHASES A CONSERVATION EASEMENT ON FARMLAND, IT MAY ALSO ACQUIRE AN OPTION TO PURCHASE THE CONSERVED FARM AT AGRICULTURAL VALUE IN THE EVENT THE LANDOWNER ELECTS TO SELL THE PROPERTY TO AN UNRELATED PARTY OR TO SOMEONE WHO IS NOT A QUALIFIED FARMER AS DEFINED IN THE EASEMENT AGREEMENT. THE TRUST ALSO HOLDS TITLE TO CERTAIN PARCELS WHICH MANAGEMENT DEEMS NOT TO HAVE ANY FAIR VALUE DUE TO THE CONSERVATION RESTRICTIONS OR OTHER LIMITATIONS.
