Enforcement serves to: Maintain the conservation values of protected land; Maintain strong working relationships with landowners; Increase public confidence in NVCT; Deter potential offenders from violating conservation easements; Protect and maintain NVCT's status as an accredited land trust. Staff take a front line role in observing and evaluating potential easement violations and pursuing resolution appropriate for the staff level, while the Board of Directors is involved in more complex resolutions and bears ultimate responsibility for defending and upholding NVCT's easements. NVCT's philosophy upon discovering potential violations is to appreciate that the landowner may not have intentionally committed a violation or may be unaware of a third-party violator of the conservation easement. Upon learning of a potential violation, staff take the following actions: document the violation, review existing documentation to determine if the situation is in fact a violation, and contact the landowner to inform them of the matter, ask for information and questions from them, and discuss options for remedying the violation. NVCT's policy is to work with landowners as flexibly as possible in remedying the situation, to provide timeframes for expected action, and to connect landowners with advice or resources as needed to remedy violations. NVCT recognizes three categories of violations: technical, minor, and major. NVCT responses and escalations are phased accordingly. NVCT views litigation or other legal means to address an easement violation as a last resort. Part II, Line 9: The Trust holds 143 conservation easements as of June 30, 2025. This compares to 136 conservation easements held on June 30, 2024. The purpose of the conservation easement is to preserve and protect the environment of the properties and to permanently maintain the open-space value and character of the associated real property. The conservation easements held by the Trust were all obtained via gift deed from the property owner of record at the time of donation. Since these easements have no marketable value, the Trusts policy is to assign a nominal value of $100 per easement and record as conservation easement asset in the accompanying statements of financial position. At June 30, 2025 and 2024, conservation easements were $14,300 and $13,600, respectively. Part V, Line 4: The Trust's Board-designated quasi-endowment fund (also referred to as "the Stewardship Fund") was established to support long-term responsibilities that are accepted by the Trust with each conservation easement. Part X, Line 2: Management has evaluated the Trust's tax positions and concluded that the Trust's financial statements do not include any uncertain tax positions. Part XI, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Direct benefit 47,225. Part XII, Line 2d - Other Adjustments: Direct benefit 47,225.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The 990 was reviewed by the Audit Committee in advance of presenting to the full Board of Directors prior to filing. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The board and staff annually sign COI, and for each easement or fee transaction or other business transaction, the normal practice is to consider conflict of interest, yes or no.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 Monitor salary ranges for all land professional positions via the Land Trust Alliance periodic salary survey.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 Each year, NVCT files its annual audit with Fairfax County, Arlington County, and the City of Alexandria which makes these documents publicly available from those jurisdictions. NVCT makes its governing documents, conflicts of interest policy, and financial statements available to the general public upon request. The audit is available on the NVCT website.
