DescLand ConservationWe have protected more than 400,000 acres across Colorado, thanks to fantastic partnerships and visionary landowners. The permanent protection of those 400,000 acres ensures that valuable wildlife habitat, productive farms and ranches, irreplaceable scenic views, and vital wetlands and river corridors will be there for future generations. Because of the vast conservation need across the state, Colorado Open Lands has identified geographic priority areas in which to focus its land protection work and have the most impact. These Priority Landscapes were selected because they contain the ingredients we believe necessary for successful conservation: high conservation value, willing landowners, community partners, political support, and local funding. We use conservation easements as our primary method for protecting land. A conservation easement is a legal agreement (a formal promise) that ensures each property's unique conservation values are permanently protected. Ultimately, our work is possible because of our numerous partnerships with landowners, other charitable organizations, local governments, business people, funding agencies, and state and federal conservation programs.Desc

DescCommunications, Outreach and EducationColorado Open Lands is dedicated to forging a real connection between conserved lands and the people of Colorado. It is in that spirit that we offer a suite of education and outreach programs, designed to connect people to land and all the benefits it provides. We offer the following activities: expeditions on conserved properties, a directory of products and services form conserved lands, agricultural demonstration projects, increased hunting and fishing opportunities, farm to table events, and promotion of urban agriculture.Desc

DescStewardshipThe purpose of our Stewardship Program is to ensure that the conservation values (for example wildlife habitat, productive farmland, important stream corridor) of each conservation easement we hold are protected forever. By doing so, we ensure that the wishes of the conservation easement donor and the public's trust are upheld. This objective is met by maintaining close contact with current landowners, and by monitoring properties on an annual basis. Annual monitoring allows us to visit regularly with landowners, providing an opportunity to discuss the land, the conservation easement, and any needs, concerns or difficulties that the landowner may have. This regular communication helps to avoid misunderstandings and keeps new landowners informed.Colorado Open Lands maintains a model conservation easement Stewardship Program by staying current on new technology, testing new techniques, and sharing our progress with the land conservation community.Desc

Part II, Line 3: Explanation of Each Easement ChangeOne conservation easement was amended to move the permitted building envelope to a different location. One conservation easement was amended to correct an error in the map.
Part II, Line 5: Summarized PolicyColorado Open Lands (COL) operates under a Conservation Easement Stewardship and Monitoring protocol that is consistent with the Land Trust Alliance's Standards and Practices. The Land Trust Alliance is a national land conservation organization representing over 1,100 member land trusts in the U.S. COL's policies ensure that it has the commitment to protect and the resources to enforce each of its conservation easements. All policies are approved by the board, including the Enforcement, Amendment, and Record Keeping policies. COL's policies ensure that COL will have the necessary documentation to enforce each conservation easement going forward. This includes a present conditions or baseline report, prepared at the time of the gift, that accurately describes the condition of the property. COL uses a customized database to document and record all site visits, stewardship issues, enforcement actions, reserved rights, and amendments.If a property changes hands, it is COL's policy to update our records and contact the new landowner to ensure they fully understand the restrictions set forth on their property. This is to try to prevent a future stewardship issue from arising. COL often has conversations with potential buyers to educate them on the conservation easement restrictions. COL has a policy of monitoring every easement on an annual basis. This usually includes a visit to the property in person but may also include aerial monitoring. Monitoring is completed by COL staff, volunteers, or contractors. Monitors of COL conservation easements will not make decisions in the field as to whether or not a situation is or is not a violation of the terms and conditions of the conservation easement. Instead, monitors will collect information on the item of concern. The upper level staff will evaluate the infraction. If it is determined that the infraction is a violation, the board and legal counsel is notified and a course of action is set to correct the violation. It is the stated policy of COL to enforce all of the terms of our conservation easements. That being stated, it is also the intention of the organization to avoid litigation, if possible, in the enforcement of any violation of a conservation easement. However, legal action may be required and any legal action, including the filing of injunctions, on the part of COL requires the adoption of a resolution of the Board of Directors.COL has a dedicated fund for the purposes of monitoring, stewarding, and enforcing each of its conservation easements. This fund consists of stewardship endowments from the landowners as well as board designated funds to steward the easements we hold in perpetuity.
Part II, Line 9: Organization Reporting of conservation easements.The Organization receives gifts of conservation easements, which represent numerous restrictions over the use and development of land not owned by the Organization. The donated value of conservation easements are recorded, based on the appraised value when available, as revenue when received and an expense is recorded for an equal amount whether the conservation easement is held by the Organization or transferred to an eligible entity. Donated conservation easements are recorded at the estimated fair value when an appraisal is not available. The Organization's policy for conservation easements is that the benefits flow through to the general public and therefore are not capitalized on the statement of financial position. The Organization monitors activities on the land and enforces restrictions contained in both donated and purchased conservation easements.
Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.FUNDS ARE RESTRICTED FOR USE ON LAND CONSERVATION AND STEWARDSHIP PROJECTS AND EASEMENT DEFENSE.
Part X : FIN48 FootnoteTHE ORGANIZATION FOLLOWS "ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES", WHICH REQUIRES THE ORGANIZATION TO DETERMINE WHETHER A TAX POSITION (AND THE RELATED TAX BENEFIT) IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE APPLICABLE TAXING AUTHORITY, BASED SOLELY ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. THE TAX BENEFIT TO BE RECOGNIZED IS MEASURED AS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF BENEFIT THAT IS GREATER THAN FIFTY PERCENT LIKELY OF BEING REALIZED UPON SETTLEMENT, PRESUMING THAT THE TAX POSITION IS EXAMINED BY THE APPROPRIATE TAXING AUTHORITY THAT HAS FULL KNOWLEDGE OF ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION. DURING THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2015, THE ORGANIZATION'S MANAGEMENT EVALUATED ITS TAX POSITIONS TO DETERMINE THE EXISTENCE OF UNCERTAINTIES, AND DID NOT NOTE ANY MATTERS THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION OR WHICH MAY HAVE AN AFFECTON ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS.
