| Part II, Line 9-Description of easement reporting | LAND AND CONSERVATION RESTRICTIONS: THE ORGANIZATION RECORDS BOTH LAND ACQUISITIONS AND LAND CONVEYANCES AT COST IF PURCHASED OR AT FAIR VALUE AT THE DATE OF ACQUISITION, IF ALL OR PART OF THE LAND WAS RECEIVED AS A DONATION. FAIR VALUE IS GENERALLY DETERMINED BY APPRAISAL AT THE TIME OF ACQUISITION AND IS NOT SUBSEQUENTLY ADJUSTED. VALUES ARE PRIMARILY BASED ON INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL APPRAISALS PERFORMED FOR THE ORGANIZATION OR ON APPRAISED VALUES DETERMINED OR ADOPTED BY PUBLIC AGENCIES. WHERE NEITHER OF THE FOREGOING SOURCES IS READILY AVAILABLE, THE ORGANIZATION MAY USE THE FULL CASH VALUE AS ESTABLISHED BY THE LOCAL TAX ASSESSOR, COST IF THE CASH VALUE IS MINIMAL OR INTERNAL ESTIMATES BASED ON STAFF ANALYSES. WHERE A CURRENT APPRAISAL IS AVAILABLE FROM A PROFESSIONALLY QUALIFIED INDEPENDANT APPRAISER RETAINED BY A THIRD PARTY, SUCH VALUE MAY BE ADOPTED WHEN THE ORGANIZATION IS SATISFIED THAT THE APPRAISAL IS REASONABLE.THE ORGANIZATION ALSO RECEIVES DONATIONS OF CONSERVATION RESTRICTIONS AND EASEMENTS ON LAND WHICH IT DOES NOT HOLD TITLE. THESE ARE VOLUNTARY LEGAL AGREEMENTS BY WHICH LANDOWNERS CAN ELECT TO ENSURE PERMANENT PROTECTION OF THE CONSERVATION VALUES OF THEIR PROPERTY. THESE CONSERVATION RESTRICTIONS AND EASEMENTS ARE REPORTED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT A NOMINAL VALUE, $1. IF PURCHASED, THE COSTS ARE EXPENSED WHEN THE RESTRICTION AND EASEMENT IS ACQUIRED.
