MARIN A GRICULTUR AL L AND TRUST PRESERVING MARIN COUNTY FARMLAND 2

DEAR MEMBERS & FRIENDS,

This report looks back on our 2008-09 fiscal year, when Marin Agricultural Land Trust permanently protected the 585-acre Red Hill Ranch. The agricultural conservation easement purchased by MALT enabled co-owners Kitty Dolcini and her brother Doug to buy out four other brothers and a sister. Without MALT, the property would have had to be sold and almost certainly would have been divided into multiple parcels.

We had been working with the family off and on for some 10 years to find a conservation solution, and we are delighted, thankful, and proud of the outcome. Today, Doug runs beef cattle, Kitty raises organic strawberries, and 25 acres are rented to organic farmer David Retsky who does business as County Line Farms. This fall, we held our annual Directors’ Barbecue at the ranch. Spirits (and the temperature) soared as we celebrated the permanent protection of the scenic farmland in Hicks Valley while enjoying a delicious lunch of food grown on the ranch and on other family farms in Marin.

Protecting Celebrating the completion of a project is the culmina- farmland is the tion of mostly invisible work by MALT’s staff and Board heart of MALT’s of Directors. The work includes evaluating a potential program project, working with the family and their advisors, and drafting a conservation easement designed to protect the agricultural and natural resource values of the property. Title reports and appraisals are ordered. The Board of Directors reviews the project on an ongoing basis and helps raise the funds for the easement purchase. On average, at least half the cost of MALT easement purchases is provided by individual donors like you. When possible, public funding partners are identified to match the private contributions.

And that’s just the beginning.

MALT has a perpetual responsibility to ensure that the provisions of the ease- ment are met by current and future owners. Protecting and preserving farm- land by acquiring conservation easements is the heart of MALT’s program. We couldn’t do this without your support, so we work hard to make people aware of the importance of farmland to the quality of our lives, the threats to its future, and the need to take action to ensure that our children and grand- children will be able to experience it, too. None of this would be possible without the commitment of our individual, business, foundation, and public agency supporters acknowledged in this report. Executive Director Bob Berner has led MALT since 1985 PRESERVING MARIN COUNTY FARMLAND 3

We’re grateful for your generosity!

In particular, the California Coastal Con- servancy, the Department of Conservation’s California Farmland Conservancy Program, and the Natural Resource Conservation Ser- vice’s Federal Farmland Preservation Program have been vital funding partners. Collective- ly, they’ve provided almost half of the funds needed to preserve 15,000 acres of Marin farmland over the past several years.

We also want to recognize the long-term commitment of our Partners for Preservation whose thoughtful inclusion of MALT in their estate plans helps ensure the permanent protection of Marin County farmland. We salute our many volunteers, too, and the partner organizations and agencies whose work is so essential to the future of agricul- ture in Marin County.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff, thank you!

Bob Berner Executive Director

More than P.S. We’re now into 41,500 acres our 2009–2010 have been fiscal year and permanently we’ve already protected, but protected another 60,000 acres family farm. The are still at risk 772-acre Spaletta Ranch was the 64th agricultural conserva- tion easement acquired by MALT.

Bill Barboni II, 4th-generation Marin County rancher

Bill Barboni devotes a fair amount of his time and energy to land stewardship. “Besides the obvious goal of turning a profit,” Bill says, “my ranching philosophy involves keeping the multi-generation tradition of ranching alive and taking great care of my animals as well as the land.” With this philosophy, Bill successfully markets his grass-fed, hormone-free beef and lamb to local retailers.

Bill has consistently made improvements to his family’s 2,500-acre ranch in Hicks Valley to better manage his livestock operation and the natural resource values of the property. Some 1,300 acres of the ranch are protected by a MALT conservation easement.

MALT’s stewardship During the last five years, Bill has partnered staff monitors each with the Marin Resource Conservation District, protected farm or USDA Natural Resources Conservation ranch annually to Service, and MALT to complete conservation- ensure that natural & oriented projects that benefit the land as well agricultural resources as his business. Projects include restoration of are protected stream corridors and riparian fencing as well as construction of creek crossings and off-stream water developments. The goal of many of these projects is to restrict livestock access to natural waterways.

Bill believes these conservation projects go hand-in-hand with the health of his animals. “I would rather have my animals drinking out of a clean water trough than a mud hole in the creek,” he says. “It is disease control and allows for better cattle distribution among pastures.” When not ranching, Bill is a veterinarian, and he considers good land management to be a form of preventative medicine for his livestock.

Bill doesn’t feel there is a conflict between protecting and enhancing habitat values and ranching for profit. His philosophy on land stewardship? “There is a happy medium where you can protect habitat and farm the land.” Bill Barboni raises grass-fed, hormone-free beef and lamb on his ranch in Hicks Valley PRESERVING MARIN COUNTY FARMLAND 5

STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM

In cooperation with landowners, MALT’s Stewardship Program staff monitor each protected farm or ranch annually to ensure that the natural and agricultural resources are protected. Staff also is actively involved in several conservation planning projects. One of them, the Marin Carbon Project, is a local initiative designed to quantify, promote, and market carbon sequestration in rangeland and agricul- tural soils. MALT is part of a consortium that includes UC Berkeley and UC Davis scientists and representatives from the Marin Resource Conservation District, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, University of California Cooperative Extension, and Marin Organic.

Stewardship staff also works with partner organizations and agencies to provide guidance and oversight to the San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board on its development of a Conditional Grazing Waiver Program for the Tomales Bay Watershed which includes 34 farms and ranches protected by MALT easements. This new regulatory program requires all grazing operations in the watershed to complete and implement ranch plans to reduce agricultural non-point sources of pollution. Staff works one-on-one with easement landowners to assist in the development of these plans.

Allison Puglisi, Volunteer

When Allison Puglisi turned 16, a busy 4-H friend asked her to adopt a goat he couldn’t care for any longer. She quickly agreed. Keeping one eye on the fence-jumping, rambunctious, and very social creature named Gertie, Allison helped her father nail tall fence extensions around his Novato pasture all after- noon. It’s not every girl’s idea of a 16th birthday celebration, but Allison Puglisi has been pitching in her entire life.

Since 2007, she’s been a MALT volunteer, and we’ve seen that same positive spirit brighten the day at countless activities. She’s led farm tours, organized children’s activities, parked cars, served burgers and, oh, yes, engaged and educated people about the importance of preserving Marin County farmland. Allison has met many farmers and growers through her volunteer work and observed their farming practices. For the past three years, she has worked parttime for Point Reyes Station farmer Peter Worsley. It’s all part of a dream she’s long had to be able to grow food herself. She and her husband David recently bought three acres in Lagunitas. “I am eagerly hauling horse manure to improve the soil and scanning seed catalogs with a vengeance,” she says. That’s while also volunteering for MALT.

“The reason I volunteer for MALT is that I want Marin’s beautiful, open farm and ranch land to remain that way and in the hands of family farmers and ranchers. I like volunteering because the staff believes what they do is important and makes a difference to our society. They provide insights and information with a cheering attitude that gives us volunteers confidence and pride.”

Allison Puglisi was one of 20 MALT volunteers who helped out at the 2009 Directors’ Barbecue PRESERVING MARIN COUNTY FARMLAND 7

Shannon Wilson, Donor

San Francisco resident Shannon Wilson lived on a farm on Route 66 in Missouri when she was young, and her love of farmland and fresh, healthy food springs out of cherished childhood memories. “I remember the taste of the grapes right off the vine, picking strawberries and blackberries with my grandmother, walking through the fields, and finding a profusion of delicious watercress near the springhouse. These sensory experiences on the land gave me a feeling of being totally in the moment, as well as a sense of place and a sense of self.”

Preserving farmland It also inspired her desire to preserve farmland. keeps a community As a donor, Shannon explains her giving “growing”—in the best philosophy, “My partner Janine and I set an sense of the word annual giving budget and agree how we’ll allocate that budget across causes. Within each cause, we choose one or two organizations that we really want to support—MALT is one of them. Everyone has a giving level they are comfortable with. We try to find that level, and then stretch beyond it a bit.”

Living in an urban environment doesn’t keep Shannon from having a strong connection to the value of preserving farmland. “Fresh food nourishes us— body and soul. Every time I sit down at a restaurant, I appreciate where the food comes from. I’m especially pleased when I am able to enjoy food in San Francisco that I know was produced on a MALT–protected property.”

Shannon also is a MALT volunteer, and she’s a regular visitor to West Marin, drawn by the sense of community as much as the natural beauty of the farmland she loves. “Preserving farmland is not just about open space and landscape; it keeps a community alive and vibrant—‘growing’ in the best sense of the word.” Donors Janine Guillot & Shannon Wilson PRESERVING MARIN COUNTY FARMLAND 9
