Gifts of Land. The Implementing Entity may accept lands in fee title, or conservation easements on lands, as a gift or charitable donation.

Gifts of Land. The Conservancy may accept lands in fee title, or conservation easements on lands, as a gift or charitable donation. Such lands may be added to the reserve system only if they meet the criteria for reserve lands in Chapter 6 and the nature of the real property interest is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 7. The Conservancy may sell or exchange lands it receives as a gift or donation that do not meet the requirements of Chapters 6 or 7 of the Plan.
Gifts of Land. In the event that property is donated or gifted to the SSHCP Implementing Entity by another entity or an estate, the Implementing Entity will determine if the land is consistent with the SSHCP Conservation Strategy. If it is consistent, the property will be added to the SSHCP Preserve System. If the property is determined to not be consistent with the SSHCP Conservation Strategy, the Implementing Entity will discuss with the donor if the land can be sold and the proceeds used to implement the SSHCP Conservation Strategy. If the land does not meet the SSHCP Conservation Strategy and its sale is restricted or prohibited, then the Implementing Entity will not accept the property. Gifted properties must be monitored and managed consistent with the SSHCP monitoring and management guidelines and protocols as discussed in Chapter 8 of this document. While gifted lands can be used to satisfy the SSHCP Conservation Strategy, they will not be used to satisfy the mitigation needs of any project. Gifted lands should also be considered in the context of Appendix J, Voluntary Additional Conservation. Prior to accepting gifts of land, the Implementing Entity must identify a source of funding to pay for the long-term endowment that is necessary to monitor and manage the property.
