DescriptionProperty Stewardship - The Trustees owns and manages a statewide system of special places called "reservations". Over 24,000 acres on more than 100 properties from the Berkshire Mountains in Western Massachusetts to the beaches of Ipswich and Cape Cod in the east - all of which are open for public use and enjoyment. The care of these properties is handled by about 125 employees skilled in landscape management, horticulture, arboriculture and historic resources. Over one million people visit the reservations each year to walk, swim, farm, camp, paddle and enjoy the outdoors with family and friends.Description

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, The Trustees acquired 217 acres, protected 496 acres through conservation restrictions and helped to protect 2,027 acres through 9 assist projects.In addition, the Highlands Community Initiative is working with towns in the highlands region of Massachusetts (38 towns between the Housatonic and Connecticut rivers) to improve zoning regulations, develop open space plans, and pass the Community Preservation Act. During 2010, The Trustees entered into a formal affiliation with the Hilltown Land Trust, Inc. (HLT). HLT has protected nearly 3,000 acres of riverbanks, wildlife habitat, woodlands, and working farmland in Hampshire and Hampden counties.Description

DescriptionOther program service expenses include education and engagement, communications and marketing, and member services. Education and engagement The Trustees are committed to ensuring that all the people of Massachusetts have an opportunity to enjoy and appreciate the natural and cultural resources that define our state. Through a focused education initiative, we are developing a practical framework for using our 100 reservations, and the communities of which they are a part, as an integrating context for teaching about the interaction of people and the land. We are taking "place-based learning" to another level, creating useful and engaging activities that provide long-term stewardship of key lands and landmarks and enhance each community's understanding and appreciation of its natural and cultural heritage. Our (9) year-round educators and dozens of part-time and seasonal interpreters provide a range of formal and informal programs on natural and cultural history, and interpret our historic homes, five of which are National Historic Landmarks. In 2010, we offered over 20,000 hours of programs and events. Approximately 70,000 children and adults attended everything from historic house tours to picnic concerts, guided hikes to farm-based education programs. A key part of our strategy is engaging diverse, urban audiences in major population centers. We are partners with Eagle Eye Institute and Youth Build USA in providing environmental education, service learning and job training for youth in Boston, Cambridge, New Bedford, Lowell, and Brockton. We are also working with the Holyoke Boys and Girls Club to provide outdoor education to the Club's predominantly Puerto Rican constituency as we work together to open a new reservation, in Holyoke, in 2012.Communications and Marketing The Communications and Marketing staff develop and maintain The Trustees brand. They communicate with members and supporters through award-winning publications, including our quarterly member magazine, Special Places, and our Annual Report. They also develop and administer The Trustees' website, www.thetrustees.org, create email marketing campaigns, and administer the staff intranet. In addition, they design, and produce a wide variety of printed marketing materials, including property guides, newsletters, brochures, invitations, membership solicitations, interpretative signage, and maps. Lastly, they work with the media to raise awareness of our mission and our activities through publicity and advertising.Member ServicesThe Membership Department oversees the recruitment and retention of Trustees over 44,000 member households statewide. The financial support and volunteer involvement of more people is essential to realizing our goals and vision, and membership is a cornerstone of these efforts.Description

Part III, Line 1a:Collections, which were acquired through purchases and contributions since the organization's inception in 1891, are not recognized as assets on the statement of financial position. Purchases of collection items are recorded as decreases in net assets in the year in which the items are acquired. Contributions of collection items are not reflected on the statement of activities.
Part III, Line 4:The Trustees of Reservations' (TTOR) mission is to preserve, for public use and enjoyment, properties of exceptional scenic, historic, and ecological value in Massachusetts. In addition to protecting land and open space, TTOR cares for and shares an incredible array of historic homes and gardens, cultural landscapes and object collections that span 300 years of history. Amongst the museum houses owned by TTOR, five are National Historic Landmarks. The organization's historic collections include books, manuscripts, fine and decorative arts, household goods, photos and paintings that provide a valuable interpretive tool to connect visitors to the land and its history.

Part X:Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:The Trustees accounts for the effect of any uncertain tax positions based on a "more likely than not" threshold to the recognition of the tax positions being sustained based on the technical merits of the position under scrutiny by the applicable taxing authority. If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties assessed, if any, are accrued as income tax expense. The Trustees has identified its tax status as a tax exempt entity as a tax position; however, the Trustees has determined that such tax position does not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. The Trustees is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction. Its Federal and state income tax returns are generally open for examination for the past 3 years.
