THEREFORE, THE FULL TRACKING OF OUR CONSERVATION EASEMENTS IS DONE OUTSIDE OF THE FINANCIAL ARENA AND INSTEAD IN A SEPARATE LANDS DATABASE. IN THIS COMPREHENSIVE LANDS DATABASE ALL OF THE INFORMATION ON EVERY ONE OF OUR CONSERVATION EASEMENT PROPERTIES ARE KEPT INCLUDING MONITORING RECORDS, APPRAISED VALUE IF APPLICABLE, THE DATE ACCEPTED, PROPERTY CHARACTERISTICS, LANDOWNER CONTACT INFORMATION, ETC.

BY CREATING THE STEWARDSHIP ENDOWMENT, DOOR COUNTY LAND TRUST WILL LESSON ITS RELIANCE ON FLUCTUATIONS IN ANNUAL SUPPORT AS A MEANS OF FUNDING ITS LAND STEWARDSHIP RESPONSIBILITIES.
