It is TRTs policy to uphold its conservation easements as written and to identify, investigate, evaluate and respond to any potential violations as quickly as possible. In the case of a material violation, TRT will require cessation, repair, and/or mitigation of any damage to protected conservation values. TRT is prepared to take legal action to defend its rights as easement holder if necessary. TRTs policy clearly describes the process for enforcing the terms of the easement should any violation be identified to ensure corrective actions are taken to cure the violation. Part II, Line 9: Organization Reporting of conservation easements. Easements acquired by the Organization are conservation easements and include restrictions over the use of land which is not owned by the Organization. By accepting such conservation easements the Organization becomes responsible for certain costs related to monitoring and enforcing the easements. The Organization recognizes a contingent liability related to such easements. The footnote describing these obligations and easements in the Organizations financials is as follows:As of December 31, 2020 conservation easements managed by the Organization consisted of the following: Dos Rios Ranch: Approximately 1,603 acres near the Tuolumne River located in Stanislaus County, California. Hidden Valley Ranch: Approximately 497 acres near the Tuolumne River located in Stanislaus County, California. The Organization has a fiduciary responsibility to preserve the conservation easements, and this responsibility may result in future costs to the Organization for monitoring, management or enforcement of the terms of the related easements. The amount of such future costs is uncertain and depends on factors such as the existence, if any, of violations of the conservation easements in the period in which such costs are incurred. Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund. The organization's endowment was established by the board in 2018 for the purpose of supporting the mission of the organization. Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Internal Revenue Service and the California Franchise Tax Board have determined that the Organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under IRC 501(c)(3) and California RTC 23701(d). The Organization has evaluated its current tax positions as of December 31, 2020 and is not aware of any significant uncertain tax positions for which a reserve would be necessary. The Organizations tax returns are generally subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities for three and four years, respectively, after they are filed. false Virtual Gala 27107 27107 27107 27107 X 4 35720 FMV false true false Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Federal & Fiscal Program Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process First the Executive Director reviews the Form 990 prior to filing.
