I. Expropriation
If a conservation agreement is threatened with expropriation,
- Work diligently to avoid a net loss to conservation values and document the actions taken
- Have or obtain appropriate documentation of the percentage of the full value of the property represented by the conservation agreement
- In circumstances where a net loss of conservation values cannot be avoided, document the land trust’s attempts to receive its proportional share of the proceeds and use any proceeds in a manner consistent with the conservation agreement deed
- Provide prompt notification to relevant parties, including the expropriating authority and Environment and Climate Change Canada, if the conservation agreement is certified as an ecological gift
