Marin
Agricultural Land Trust
Our Mission
Marin Agricultural Land Trust (MALT) was the first
land trust in the United States to focus on farmland preservation.
Founded in 1980 by a coalition of ranchers and environmentalists
to preserve farmland in Marin County, California, MALT acquires
agricultural conservation easements on farmland in voluntary transactions
with landowners. MALT also encourages public policies that support
and enhance agriculture. It is a model for agricultural land preservation
efforts across the nation. MALT has so far permanently protected
over 40,000 acres of land on 61 family farms and ranches.
