THE TOTAL CONSERVATION EASEMENTS AND THE ESTIMATED VALUE IS DISCLOSED AS A FOOTNOTE IN THE AUDITED STATEMENTS OF THE LAND TRUST. BECAUSE OF SEVERE LIMITATIONS ON USE, SALE OR TRANSFER OF THESE EASEMENTS AND BECAUSE THE LIMITATIONS ARE, FOR PRACTICAL PURPOSES, INEXTINGUISHABLE, SYCAMORE CONSIDERS THEM TO BE OF ESSENTIALLY NO VALUE IN THE HANDS OF THE ORGANIZATION. THIS IS NOT A REFLECTION UPON THE VALUATION OF THE DONATION. THE DONATIONS, SUPPORTED BY INDEPENDENT APPRAISALS, REFLECT THE VALUE SURRENDERED BY THE DONOR BUT NOT NECESSARILY THE VALUE AT WHICH SYCAMORE SHOULD RECOGNIZE THE TRANSACTION. THE RECOGNITION OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS AT NO VALUE IS IN KEEPING WITH CUSTOMARY PRACTICE BY SIMILAR ORGANIZATIONS.
