Part II, Line 5 - Summarized PolicyEach easement is monitored annually by a visit on the ground or by aerial method. Prior to the visit there will be at least one written, email or phone communication to the landowner describing the monitoring visit. Mesa Land Trust will inform the landowner of the purpose of the visit and will invite the landowner to be present on the visit. Before visiting the property the baseline documentation, previous monitoring reports and other background information will be reviewed. During the visit the property will be examined aerially, by vehicle and/or by foot. Notes and pictures will be taken documenting changes to the land, whether the natural means or through the activity of the landowner.A monitoring form will be completed to ensure consistency and thoroughness of each visit. The report will include information on the property, the conservation easement and the state of the property at the time of the monitoring visit outlining any changes or potential violations. Photos, maps and exhibits may also be included in the report as needed. Mesa Land Trust will retain the form in its permanent files and a copy of the report with a letter acknowledging its completion will be send to the landowner.If any violations are found, Mesa Land Trust will follow its Easement Violations policy.
