Return Reference Explanation
PART II, LINE 5: AFT'S POLICY IS TO MONITOR EACH OF ITS EASEMENTS EVERY YEAR, UNLESS AN ISSUE OR CIRCUMSTANCE REGARDING A PARTICULAR PROPERTY WARRANTS MORE FREQUENT VISITS. AFT HAS ALSO ADOPTED A VIOLATIONS POLICY THAT ADDRESSES THE MANNER IN WHICH AFT DETERMINES AND ENFORCES VIOLATIONS OF CONSERVATION EASEMENTS.

PART II, LINE 9: IT IS AFT'S POLICY, WHEN ACQUIRING OR ACCEPTING AN EASEMENT, TO EXTINGUISH IN PERPETUITY THE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS ON THE UNDERLYING PROPERTY.

ANY PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF A CONSERVATION EASEMENT TO A QUALIFIED ENTITY ARE MAINTAINED IN THE ORGANIZATION'S FARMLAND PROTECTION FUND.
PART V, LINE 4: AFT IS COMMITTED TO A LONG-TERM APPROACH WITH A BALANCED PROGRAM OF INVESTMENTS TO PRESERVE AND ENHANCE THE REAL PURCHASING POWER OF THE FUND SO AS TO PROVIDE A STABLE AND, IN REAL TERMS, CONSTANT STREAM OF CURRENT INCOME FOR ANNUAL OPERATING NEEDS.
