MALT has been part of the fabric of Marin County for four decades. In that time, thanks to your support, we have protected more than 54,000 acres of farmland, forever.

As we reflect on this past year, and MALT’s last 40, we are filled with immense pride and gratitude for all that we have accomplished together. Thank you for all that you’ve done to help protect Marin County farmland, safeguard habitat and the environment, promote sustainable agriculture and support Marin’s agricultural community. We look forward to our continued partnership and success in the years to come.
