About This PDF
This report follows up on two Alliance research projects completed in 2014. One project studied nearly 1,900 land trust IRS Form 990 returns from 2008 through 2012. The second project analyzed online survey results from 409 land trust respondents, with a focus on amendments and terminations since 2006. The results of these projects are outlined in Results of Land Trust Alliance Research and Survey on Easement Modification and Termination, Land Trust Alliance, December 2014.
The 2014 report presented information on easement modification and termination, but did not delve into the specifics of any of these events. The Alliance commissioned this follow-up report in order to learn more about the circumstances, nature and extent of those reported events that involved full or partial terminations and potentially “riskier” amendments.
