Part II, Line 5: Summarized PolicyConservation easements are perpetual agreements between the Trust and private or public landowners whereby the landowners agree to abide by certain restrictions designed to preserve the open space or conservation value of their land. The Trust accomplishes one of its primary program service objectives, land conservation, in part, by acquiring such easements. Conservation easements donated to or purchased by the Trust are not recognized as assets or revenues in the financial statements because the Trust does not have fee title to the properties and there are no expected future economic benefits. If purchased, the costs of conservation easements are expensed when the easements are acquired. Restricted contributions require the fulfillment of certain conditions as set forth by the donor. Failure to fulfill the conditions could result in the return of the funds to the donors. The Trust deems this contingency remote since by accepting the contributions and their terms it has accommodated the objectives of the organization to the provisions of the contributions. The Trust's management believes the organization has complied with the terms of all contributions.
Part II, Line 9: Organization Reporting of conservation easements.As of December 31, 2017, the Trust held the easements of 6010 acres (note F of Audited Financial Statements).In addition, the Trust holds a deed restriction and owns the subsurface mineral rights for a Cedar Hills property with 3,748 acres.
