February 29, 2024

This March in Marin, as spring begins to liven the landscape, be sure to make the most of the warming weather and explore our monthly roundup of farm visits, walks, markets, nature talks, and volunteer opportunities.

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.
