THEREFORE, THE FULL TRACKING OF OUR CONSERVATION EASEMENTS IS DONE OUTSIDE OF THE FINANCIAL ARENA AND INSTEAD IN SEPARATE SPREADSHEETS AND IN LAND FILES. IT IS IN THESE SPREADSHEETS AND FILES WHERE INFORMATION ON EVERY ONE OF OUR CONSERVATION EASEMENT PROPERTIES ARE KEPT INCLUDING MONITORING RECORDS, APPRAISED VALUE (IF APPLICABLE), THE DATE ACCEPTED, PROPERTY CHARACTERISTICS, LANDOWNER CONTACT INFORMATION, ETC. PART V, LINE 4: THE PURPOSE OF THE DOOR COUNTY LAND TRUST STEWARDSHIP ENDOWMENT IS TO GENERATE INCOME TO BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE OF PROVIDING PROTECTION, MANAGEMENT, MAINTENANCE, AND MONITORING OF LANDS OWNED BY DOOR COUNTY LAND TRUST, AND FOR THE MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS HELD BY DOOR COUNTY LAND TRUST. BY CREATING THE STEWARDSHIP ENDOWMENT, DOOR COUNTY LAND TRUST WILL LESSEN ITS RELIANCE ON FLUCTUATIONS IN ANNUAL SUPPORT AS A MEANS OF FUNDING ITS LAND STEWARDSHIP RESPONSIBILITIES.
