Form And Line ReferenceFormAndLineReferenceDescExplanationExplanationTxt
Schedule D, Part II, Line 5A property steward visits every property managed by the Trust at least once annually and a site visit form is completed and retained. Land management issues are responded to as they arise. A memorandum of record is drafted for any issues and responses as they occur. If the Trust discovers that a conservation easement has been violated, an enforcement team will be established to investigate and determine courses of action for ongoing violations to include legal action, if needed.
Schedule D, Part II, Line 9Costs related to the purchase of an easement are recorded as a reduction in cash and an increase in an expense account, easement acquisition costs. If a value of a donated easement can be determined, the easement is recognized as an in-kind contribution offset by an in-kind expense.
