Life of a MALT Sign: A Photo Essay

July 9, 2020

If you’ve traveled the roads of West Marin, you’ve probably noticed MALT signs standing tall in grazing pastures, framed by jersey heifers, positioned high up on grassy hillsides, posted on ranch gates and access bridges or at the entrance to a family farmstead. These signs, which have evolved with the organization over the course of MALT’s 40-year history, proudly mark farmland that has been protected forever.

We invite you to a take a photographic journey through West Marin with the help of our friend, Paige Green of Paige Green Photography, and celebrate the many MALT signs seen along the way. Each one is a happy reminder that, together, we are protecting Marin’s agricultural lands for agriculture use, stewarding a healthy and diverse natural environment and supporting a thriving agricultural community.
