Weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces called sediments through mechanical and chemical processes. Mechanical weathering is caused by physical forces like plants, animals, ice wedging, and changes in surface area. Chemical weathering occurs through natural acids in water and plant acids that change the mineral composition of rocks over thousands of years. The rate of weathering depends on climate and rock type, with more rapid weathering in wet, tropical climates. Soil forms as weathered rock fragments and organic matter accumulate, and its composition is influenced by climate, vegetation, relief, parent material, and time.

Weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces called sediments through mechanical and chemical processes. Mechanical weathering is caused by temperature changes, water, plants and animals, and ice wedging. Chemical weathering occurs more slowly as acid and oxygen react with minerals, breaking them down over thousands of years. The sediments and organic material from weathering form soil layers, with the darker top layer containing more nutrients. Soil type depends on climate, parent material such as rock type, and other factors like time and slope.

This document provides recommendations to Foothills Land Trust (FLT) on establishing policies and procedures for stewardship, enforcement, and legal defense costs related to conservation easements. It recommends that FLT: 1) maintain healthy landowner relations, clearly document easement details, and establish a violation policy to reduce risks; 2) use a stewardship calculator to determine annual monitoring and relationship building costs; and 3) consider a communal legal defense approach through resources like a learning center and insurance to help address potential violations or challenges. Implementing best practices for stewardship, documentation, and policies can help reduce risks over time.
This document provides recommendations for land trusts regarding stewardship, enforcement, and legal defense of conservation easements. It discusses best practices for developing policies and procedures to handle violations of conservation easements. Key points include maintaining positive relationships with landowners, clearly written easement documents, developing a violation resolution process, and having funds available for legal defense if needed. While litigation should be a last resort, land trusts must be prepared to enforce easements in court to uphold their purpose. External factors like increasing land values can also influence the risk of an easement being challenged.
The baseline documentation report provides a snapshot of the biophysical condition of a conserved property and represents an agreement between the land trust and landowner. It documents the conservation value and current conditions to inform monitoring, enforcement, and legal defense.

The document also defines key terms and recommends separate funds for routine stewardship and legal defense to prepare for unpredictable legal expenses.
This document provides guidance on baseline documentation reports (BDRs) for conservation easements and fee simple properties. It discusses when BDRs should be completed, who should complete them, and their critical components. For conservation easements, BDRs should be completed before finalizing the agreement and must thoroughly document the property conditions to defend the easement. For fee simple properties, BDRs provide a basis for future management and can be completed within one year of securing the property. Both require documenting the property conditions, but conservation easement BDRs must address all easement terms while fee simple BDRs focus on natural features for management.
This document provides a summary of beneficial management practices for land development in Alberta. It outlines management practices for energy development from documents such as the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board Native Prairie Guidelines.

This document provides information on monitoring conservation properties. It discusses the importance of monitoring to determine changes or threats to conservation values. Monitoring conservation easements is especially important to ensure the objectives of the easement agreement are being met and demonstrate due diligence if the easement needs defending. While there is no legal requirement for monitoring frequency in Alberta, conservation easements should generally be monitored annually or at least every few years. More frequent monitoring may be needed when certain risks are present. Regular monitoring is critical for various reasons, including early detection of violations and demonstrating a land trust is meeting its obligations.
