Desc	FOUNDED IN 1999, THE LAND TRUST FOR TENNESSEE PERMANENTLY PROTECTS LAND THROUGH A RANGE OF TOOLS, INCLUDING DONATED CONSERVATION EASEMENTS, PURCHASED CONSERVATION EASEMENTS, LAND DONATIONS, BARGAIN SALE ARRANGEMENTS, TRANSACTION FACILITATION, AND LAND PURCHASES. THE LAND TRUST HOLDS CONSERVATION EASEMENTS ON PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LAND, INCLUDING FARMS, FORESTLAND, AND URBAN OPEN SPACES; AND WE ARE THE ONLY STATEWIDE CONSERVATION ORGANIZATION WITH AN ACTIVE FARMLAND CONSERVATION PROGRAM. BEYOND RAISING OUR ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET, EACH YEAR WE ASSIST IN SECURING FUNDING COMMITMENTS FROM VARIOUS SOURCES (E.G. PRIVATE, GOVERNMENTAL, CORPORATE) TO BRING TO THE CLOSING TABLE, WHETHER FOR ACQUISITION OR FOR LANDOWNER TRANSACTION ASSISTANCE. WE FACILITATE ACQUISITIONS TO ADD LAND TO STATE NATURAL AREAS, STATE PARKS, STATE FORESTS, WILDLIFE PRESERVES, AND MUNICIPAL PARKS. WE ASSIST MUNICIPALITIES AND INDIVIDUALS WITH PLANNING PROCESSES AND COALITION-BUILDING AROUND THOSE PROCESSES. WE ARE ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN COMMUNITY CONSERVATION, FOSTERING COMMUNITY AWARENESS ABOUT THE PUBLIC BENEFITS OF LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION THROUGH WORKSHOPS, SCHOOL PROGRAMS, FIELD TRIPS, AND EVENTS ALL OVER THE STATE AND AT GLEN LEVEN FARM. AS OF MARCH 31, 2019, THE LAND TRUST FOR TENNESSEE HAS PERMANENTLY PROTECTED 124,430 ACRES OF LAND THROUGH 388 PROJECTS. IN FY19, THE LAND TRUST FOR TENNESSEE COMPLETED 12 PROJECTS TOTALING 2,630 ACRES IN 11 COUNTIES ACROSS THE STATE. THIS INCLUDES 387 ACRES OF PRIME AGRICULTURAL SOILS, 14 MILES OF RIVERS AND STREAMS, AND OVER THREE MILES OF PUBLIC ROAD FRONTAGE. THE LAND TRUST ALSO ADDED ACREAGE TO THREE EXISTING CONSERVATION EASEMENTS, RESULTING IN AN ADDITIONAL 137 ACRES, INCLUDING 25 ACRES OF PRIME AGRICULTURAL SOILS, 1.2 MILES OF RIVERS AND STREAMS, AND 1.2 MILES OF PUBLIC ROAD FRONTAGE, ALL PROVIDING SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC BENEFIT. PROTECTED LAND INCLUDES WORKING FARMS AND FORESTS, RECREATIONAL LAND (BOTH PRIVATE AND PUBLIC), SCENIC VIEWSHEDS, WILDLIFE HABITAT, LAND WITH ECOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE, AND LAND CONTAINING SIGNIFICANT WATER RESOURCES. THESE PROPERTIES WERE PROTECTED THROUGH DONATED CONSERVATION EASEMENTS, PURCHASED CONSERVATION EASEMENTS, FACILITATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECT LAND ACQUISITIONS THROUGH DONATIONS AND BEQUESTS. TRANSACTIONS WERE COMPLETED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PRIVATE LANDOWNERS, PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS, WILLIAMSON COUNTY, AND THE TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND CONSERVATION ("TDEC") - STATE PARKS. THE LAND TRUST ALSO SUCCESSFULLY MONITORED, MANAGED, AND ENFORCED APPROXIMATELY 350 EXISTING CONSERVATION EASEMENTS AND PROPERTIES.CONSERVATION HIGHLIGHTS FROM FY19:- DUCK RIVER WATERSHED CONSERVATION: THE DUCK RIVER IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST BIOLOGICALLY DIVERSE RIVERS. OUR WORK TO CONSERVE LAND IN ITS WATERSHED CONTINUED IN 2018 WITH THREE PROJECTS, BRINGING OUR TOTAL TO 16,588 ACRES PROTECTED SINCE 1999.- FARMLAND: OUR EFFORTS TO PROTECT WORKING FARMS CONTINUED IN 2018, INCLUDING THE COMPLETION OF PROJECTS, RESULTING IN AN ADDITIONAL 957 ACRES OF CONSERVED WORKING FARMLAND.- ADDITION TO STATE PARK: IN AUGUST 2018, THE LAND TRUST FOR TENNESSEE, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, ACQUIRED LAND FROM A PRIVATE LANDOWNER, CAMP WALLACE LLC, FOR AN ADDITION TO DOG COVE STATE NATURAL AREA. FURTURE PLANS FOR THIS PROTECTED LAND INCLUDE IT BEING ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC. - HISTORIC LEIPER'S FORK: WE WORKED WITH A PRIVATE LANDOWNER TO CONSERVE A SITE OF HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE THAT DATES BACK TO THE EARLY 1800'S. THE PROPERTY SURROUNDS AND CONTAINS THE REMAINS OF THE HISTORIC "THOMAS HART BENTON" HOUSE AND JOINS TO THE NATCHEZ TRACE PARKWAY, A LINEAR NATIONAL PARK. - WE WORKED WITH A PRIVATE LANDOWNER TO CONSERVE HIS FAMILY'S WORKING FARM IN MARSHALL COUNTY WHERE HIS FAMILY HAS ACTIVELY FARMED THE LAND FOR NEARLY A CENTURY. THIS FARM IS ELIGIBLE FOR CENTURY FARM STATUS IN 2019.- OUR WORK TO PROTECT LAND IN WEST TENNESSEE CONTINUED IN 2018, WITH THE ADDITION OF A PROJECT IN FAYETTE COUNTY WITH A CURRENT LANDOWNER WHO HAS COMPLETED SEVERAL OTHER CONSERVATION EASEMENTS.- WE CONSERVED 245 ACRES OF OPEN SPACE IN COLLEGE GROVE, BY WORKING WITH THE OGILVIE FAMILY AND WILLIAMSON COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT TO CREATE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A PUBLIC NATURE PARK.THE LAND TRUST FOR TENNESSEE SPENT MUCH OF FY19 INVESTING IN A STRATEGIC LAND CONSERVATION PLAN TO TRANSFORM OUR WORK. THIS PLAN, CALLED "FOREVER TENNESSEE", IDENTIFIES AREAS WITH SIGNIFICANT CONSERVATION OPPORTUNITIES AND OUTLINES STRATEGIES FOR OUTREACH AND CONSERVATION OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS. WE ARE THE FIRST STATEWIDE LAND TRUST TO SURVEY CONSERVATION RESOURCES ACROSS AN ENTIRE STATE - USING GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) DATA AND PUBLIC INPUT - TO SET GOALS FOR PROTECTION OF LANDS WITH THE HIGHEST CONSERVATION VALUE. OUR INPUTS INCLUDED SOME 25+ DATASETS, REPRESENTING CRITICAL WILDLIFE HABITAT, FERTILE SOILS, CLIMATE CHANGE RESILIENCY, HISTORIC SITES, AND MORE, COMBINED WITH OVER 1,000 SURVEY RESPONSES FROM ACROSS TENNESSEE. WE ALSO INCLUDED POPULATION GROWTH PROJECTIONS TO ENSURE PRIORITIZATION OF THE MOST THREATENED LANDS. THERE ARE FOUR MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE PLAN: GIS MAPPING AND DATA ANALYSIS; GATHERING PUBLIC INPUT REGARDING CONSERVATION PRIORITIES; CREATING AN INTERNAL-FACING PLAN TO GUIDE OUR WORK; AND DRAFTING, DESIGNING, AND PRINTING AN EXTERNAL-FACING PLAN TO BE USED AS A COMMUNICATIONS TOOL FOR DONORS, LANDOWNERS, AND SUPPORTERS ACROSS TENNESSEE. THE PLAN WILL BE FINALIZED IN FY20.THE LAND TRUST FOR TENNESSEE'S GLEN LEVEN FARM - LOCATED JUST FOUR MILES FROM THE CENTER OF DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE - IS TRULY THE "FRONT DOOR" OF THE ORGANIZATION. ALL OF OUR ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS ON SITE ARE TO RAISE THE VISIBILITY OF THE LAND TRUST AND THE IMPORTANCE OF LAND CONSERVATION. IN APRIL 2018, THE ORGANIZATION MOVED THE MIDDLE TENNESSEE OFFICE TO THE FARM. MUCH WAS DONE TO PREPARE THE HOME FOR OFFICES, INCLUDING CLIMATE AND HUMIDITY-CONTROL SYSTEMS, FOUNDATION STABILIZATION, PLASTER DEMOLITION AND REBUILDING, A NEW GATE SECURITY SYSTEM, A FRENCH DRAIN SYSTEM TO MOVE WATER AWAY FROM THE 1857 STRUCTURE, PAINT, ELECTRICAL UPGRADES, CONSTRUCTION OF WALLS TO CREATE PRIVATE OFFICES AND AN ADA BATHROOM, RENOVATION OF TWO EXISTING BATHROOMS, AND CONVERSION OF A STORAGE ROOM INTO A KITCHEN. IN 2018, GLEN LEVEN FARM CONTINUED TO GROW AS A CENTER FOR CONSERVATION EDUCATION. TWO SCHOOL GROUPS - PRIVATE AND TITLE I SCHOOLS - OF 116 CHILDREN PARTICIPATED IN THE ORGANIZATION'S FALL OUTDOOR-BASED FIELD TRIP PROGRAM, "NATURE'S CLASSROOM". IN ADDITION, THE LAND TRUST STAFF CONDUCTED NUMEROUS TOURS OF THE PROPERTY FOR ADULTS AND DEVELOPED PARTNERSHIPS WITH SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES. COMMUNITY OUTREACH ALSO INCLUDED MISSION-RELATED PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND EVENTS ON THE FARM, INCLUDING ONCE IN A BLUE MOON, THE ORGANIZATION'S LARGEST EVENT.THROUGHOUT FY19, THE LAND TRUST PARTICIPATED IN OVER 65 PUBLIC EVENTS, INCLUDING SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS, BOOTH DISPLAYS, FIELD DAYS, FESTIVALS, AND CONFERENCES. THROUGH THESE EVENTS, WE ESTIMATE THAT WE HAVE REACHED OVER 1,200 LANDOWNERS, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, ADVISORS, AND LOCAL OFFICIALS. WE ALSO PROVIDED INDIVIDUALIZED CONSERVATION INFORMATION TO HUNDREDS OF LANDOWNERS INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT CONSERVATION OPTIONS THROUGH ONE-ON-ONE CONVERSATIONS AND ON-SITE MEETINGS, AND HOSTED OVER 600 GUESTS AT OUR ANNUAL ONCE IN A BLUE MOON EVENT. THE LAND TRUST'S OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT HAVE RESULTED IN A PIPELINE OF OVER 50 ACTIVE PROJECTS FOR FY20. THE WORK OF THE LAND TRUST WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT COLLABORATIONS WITH OTHER CONSERVATION ORGANIZATIONS AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES. NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION PARTNERS INCLUDE: THE CONSERVATION FUND, OPEN SPACE INSTITUTE, THE NATURE CONSERVANCY - TN CHAPTER, ACCESS FUND, THE SOUTHEAST CLIMBER'S COALITION, THE MOUNTAIN GOAT TRAIL ALLIANCE, FRIENDS OF RADNOR LAKE, FRIENDS OF THE SOUTH CUMBERLAND STATE PARK, NORTH CHICKAMAUGA CREEK CONSERVANCY, WEST MEADE CONSERVANCY, CUMBERLAND RIVER COMPACT, CUMBERLAND REGION TOMORROW, THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION OF FRANKLIN AND WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE PRESERVATION TRUST, RIPPAVILLA INC., AND SOUTHERN OFF-ROAD BIKING ASSOCIATION.
