By Karisma Wilson,

September 3, 2024

This fall in Marin, with rainy season on the way, check out our roundup of farm visits, walks, markets, nature talks, and volunteer opportunities to make the most of our waning sunny days.

The beautiful vistas of MALT-protected land you’ll encounter as you explore the region help support our thriving agricultural community, sustain biodiverse habitats, and connect us to our local food and fiber producers. We hope you will enjoy all the events Marin’s open spaces and working lands have to offer.
