Baseline Documentation Reports

Before a Conservation Easement can be implemented on a piece of land, a Baseline Documentation Report (BDR) must be completed to document conditions on the ground at the time the Conservation Easement was implemented. The BDR will be used as a reference document each year for monitoring of the Conservation Easement as a Conservation Easement is implemented into perpetuity.
