This summer in Marin, with warmer weather approaching, check out our roundup of farm visits, walks, markets, nature talks, and volunteer opportunities to make the most of season.
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.
