We signed Letters of Intent with four additional landowners, all located between Hoytsville and Echo. For these properties (approximately 16,000 acres) we submitted Agricultural Land Easement (ALE) applications to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), requesting just under $30 million in federal funding. We began implementation of our 2023 Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP) award by engaging landowners in the Kamas Valley and our partners to conduct soil monitoring and testing. In addition, we advanced work on seven other projects and contributed to local and national conservation conversations, including participation in the Weber Confluence, the Colorado NRCS Conference, and the national Land Trust Alliance Rally. 319634 Outreach: In 2024, Summit Land Conservancy deepened community connections through events that celebrated the lands and waters we protect. From solstice hikes and wild hop harvesting to sunset meditations and educational hikes with guest speakers, we offered diverse ways to engage with nature. Connecting to nature and with each other builds a strong community and reinforces an appreciation for open spaces. We collaborated with local ranchers on regenerative agriculture, volunteered on farms and trails, and celebrated at our Tenth Annual Hoppy Hour. We also tabled at community events and partnered with Recycle Utah and Swaner Nature Center to launch Summit County's first Latino Conservation Celebration. Through hands-on learning - including land and water education for all Summit County fifth graders - we continue to inspire a strong, conservation-minded community, of all ages. 293733 198350 Stewardship and Monitoring: This year, Summit Land Conservancy conducted in-person monitoring on 57 properties, totaling over 19,000 acres. Staff visited each conservation easement on foot, by bike, or by vehicle to conduct thorough inspections and speak with landowners about their land management practices. Before each visit, staff reviewed baseline documentation, conservation easements, and past monitoring reports to ensure a thorough understanding of the property's current condition and any changes since the previous visit. In addition to annual monitoring, staff conducted site visits in response to reserved rights requests and violations. Several reserved rights requests were reviewed and approved this year, including tree-thinning projects, contaminated soil mitigation, weed management, and a proposal to lease water rights on an agricultural property. 8446145 true true false true false false true false false true true false false true false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 8 0 true 14 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 16 15 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true true false false CA CO CT FL GA MD MA MN NJ NY NC PA UT X X CHERYL FOX 4356490220 1887 Gold Dust Lane Ste 101 PARK CITY UT 84060 CHERYL FOX Chief Executive Officer 40.0 0.0 X X 159799 0 31212 COLLEEN LOGAN VICE PRESIDENT 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 GRAHAM ANTHONY PRESIDENT EMERITUS 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 SHRUTHI KINKEAD Treasurer 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 WILL HODGMAN PRESIDENT 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 CAMILLA KRAGIUS TRUSTEE 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 CHARLIE STURGIS TRUSTEE 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 CHRISTINA STORY TRUSTEE 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 GWEN REDDISH TRUSTEE 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JULIA GEISLER TRUSTEE 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 KRISTIN WRIGHT TRUSTEE 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 MELISSA STOCK TRUSTEE 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 NICK VAN DINE TRUSTEE 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 NIELS VERNEGAARD Trustee 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 RORY MURPHY TRUSTEE 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 SHARI GOTTLIEB TRUSTEE 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 TERRY DISTON TRUSTEE 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 VERONICA DELACRUZ TRUSTEE 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Marcia Griffiths Chief Financial Officer 40.0 0.0 X 98276 0 11573 KATHERINE SATTELMEIR EMPLOYEE 40.0 0.0 X 117286 0 35466 375361 0 78251 2 false true false 0 740291 6860203 2795406 558011 10395900 Government Contract Revenue 900099 198350 198350 0 0 0 0 198350 77288 77288 0 0 23000 6000 0 17000 17000 17000 47340 740291 138310 -90970 -90970 0 0 0 0 0 10597568 198350 0 3318 0 0 300859 184681 83190 32988 699912 441958 184803 73151 38564 20513 12670 5381 68957 33312 25871 9774 70780 44632 18825 7323 29675 29675 1176 1176 109951 65942 30032 13977 62688 24993 21748 15947 20715 16247 3201 1267 19894 12562 5253 2079 8445 6045 2400 8154 2617 4745 792 215085 215085 28634 18081 7560 2993 11062 8674 1711 677 Land Easements Purchased 7045000 7045000 Conservation Expenses 246055 245281 774 Program Related Outreach 50420 50420 Professional Development 12201 10102 2099 0 0 0 0 9048227 8446145 433333 168749 463725 399898 1093453 1446894 465827 618603 114588 30150 0 0 12490 2693 680891 111136 583035 569755 1332591 2554019 0 0 5052854 5061234 9118563 10683246 66677 68460 0 3367872 3190000 0 0 3434549 3258460 X 4939508 5717280 744506 1707506 5684014 7424786 9118563 10683246 1549341 191431 0 X false true true true true X 1954591 4388639 11049197 6262549 10395900 34050876 0 0 1954591 4388639 11049197 6262549 10395900 34050876 724335 33326541 19877 20941 21074 65696 77288 204876 0 0 9906 0 83590 47340 140836 34396588 0 0.96889 0.9916 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 Other Income DESCRIPTION - EVENT INCOME, EXCLUDING CONTRIBUTIONS, COLUMN A - 0.0, COLUMN B - 9906.0, COLUMN C - 0.0, COLUMN D - 83590.0, COLUMN E - 47340.0, COLUMN F - 140836.0; RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 9048227 0 9048227 0 602411 0 150603 0 0 0 0 0 293569 678755 445384 602411 2020119 3030179 1252 1860 0 0 3112 73392 169689 111346 150603 505030 757545 1252 1860 0 0 3112 X X X 56 19228.0 0 0 0 1 true 2187.0 293733 true 1319553 739905 2059458 1065899 253654 1319553 862850 203049 1065899 758092 104758 862850 743592 14500 758092 0.7016 0.2984 0.0 true false 611950 64212 547738 68941 46924 22017 569755 Land Held for Easement 4966000 Beneficial Interest Account 95234 5061234 0 X 10787823 191431 0 191431 10596392 1176 0 1176 10597568 9047051 0 0 9047051 1176 0 1176 9048227 Schedule D, Part II, Line 5 Conservation easements policy THE ORGANIZATION HAS A WRITTEN POLICY REGARDING THE PERIODIC MONITORING, INSPECTION, HANDLING OF VIOLATIONS, AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE CONSERVATION EASEMENTS HELD.

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, provides guidance on how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in the financial statements. This requires the evaluation by management of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in preparation of the Conservancy's tax returns to determine if the positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained if examined by the taxing authorities. Management has determined there are no uncertain income tax positions. Generally, the Conservancy's tax returns remain subject to examination for three years from the date filed.
