Horse Barn, West Marin
How has Marin County remained so rural and unspoiled while it literally borders on one of the largest cities in the country? A big part of the answer is MALT. The Marin Agricultural Land Trust was the nation's first land trust to focus on farmland preservation. Founded by a coalition of ranchers and environmentalists to preserve farmland in Marin County, California, MALT has so far permanently protected 38,000 acres of land on 57 family farms and ranches.
