When land or easements are donated to GSWA, an unrestricted donation will be sought to cover the antipicipated annual stewardship costs.Stewardship and enforcement needs and costs will be assessed and budgeted each fiscal year and occasional fund drives may be held that are entirely devoted to stewardship fundraising. A Conservation easement stewardship and defense fund will be temporarily restricted in the Board designated reserve fund.These funds are held in reserve and are to be used only for stewardship and defense of easement and Fee land and only in the case where routine operational funds are insufficient. Part II, Line 9: Organization Reporting of conservation easements. Accounting for conservation easements:Recorded on statements and written off due to no economic value and very little expense incurred.
