C. Project Evaluation

Visually inspect properties before buying or accepting donations of conservation land or conservation agreements to determine and document whether:
- There are important conservation values on the property
- The project meets the land trust’s project-selection criteria
Evaluate and document potential threats to the conservation values on the property and structure the project to best protect those conservation values.
Evaluate and document any current or potential risks and liabilities associated with the project, including to the land trust’s reputation or to the land trust community, and modify or decline the project if the risks outweigh the benefits.
