Return Reference	Explanation
II 3	One conservation easement was amended to subtract 19.3 acres to the 227.5 acres originally conserved.
II 9	Conservation easements are recorded at cost if purchased. Once the easement has been acquired the value of the asset is written down to a value of 1 on the statement of financial position with a corresponding entry to program service costs. Donated easements are not recorded as an asset, revenue or expense but a record of the transaction is maintained and the details of the transaction are reported in a footnote to the financial statements.
V 4	Intended uses for the endowment funds the funds shown in Part V serve to provide annual operating income to the organization, with a primary focus on sustaining the organizations ongoing and perpetual stewardship and enforcement of its conservation holdings.
X 2	The organization adopted the provision of FASB ASC 740, accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Accordingly, management evaluated the organizations tax positions and concluded the organization had maintained its tax-exempt status, does not have any significant unrelated business income and had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements. With few exceptions, the organization is no longer subject to income tax examination by the US federal or state tax authorities for tax years more than three years old.
