ALLISON BROPHY CHAMPION Culpeper Star-Exponent The Office of the State Inspector General says Virginia’s land-conservation easement program, in which properties receive tax breaks, needs work. One in three recent inspections of conservation easement found that monitoring by a land-trust company was inadequate, the office said in a statement last week. After a yearlong audit of the state’s Conservation Easement and Land Preservation Tax Credit Program, the office concluded that Virginia needs to improve the conservation quality it receives for tax credits. OSIG auditors found trash, old tires, scrap metal piles, old campers, inoperable vehicles and a manure storage area containing dead-cattle parts on properties in easement it inspected, the agency said.
