Protecting the Land That Sustains Us 2017–2018 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends,

Since it was implemented in 2014, we have been able to match your generous contributions with $10.9 million of Measure A funding to protect 10 properties, totaling 5,398 acres of farm and ranch land. Each of these protected properties has unique attributes that help ensure an agricultural future in Marin and provide critical habitat and linkages for native plants and animals.

And, as we reported in our newsletter earlier this fall, our conservation team is hard at work with those landowners, helping them make their grasslands more resilient and productive, protect their watersheds and secure additional funding for critical conservation projects.

But our work is far from done. As Marin’s land values continue to escalate and the number of ranchers approaching retirement age increases, we project that purchasing conservation easements on the remaining 47,500 acres of privately owned, productive farmland in Marin will require considerable private donations — to be matched with additional public funding. Given the expense, On behalf of the board and staff of we’re tackling our 100,000-acre goal in incremental stages, focusing on the most Marin Agricultural Land Trust, we are proud to share MALT’s substantial productive farmland that is currently at risk of development or being sold out accomplishments for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2018 — one of the most of agriculture. successful years in our 38-year history. This year we protected five ranches, totaling 3,847 acres, which is more than triple our traditional pace of easement We promise to keep you updated on our work and our progress. And we thank acquisition and a huge step forward for farmland preservation in Marin. To date, you, from the bottom of our hearts, for all that you do for Marin’s farmland, we have protected 52,589 acres! farmers and the landscapes we all enjoy.

In the fall of 2015 we launched our Farmland Forever campaign, an ambitious With gratitude, initiative to permanently protect essentially all of the privately owned, productive farmland in Marin — 100,000 acres by 2040! When this effort began, we shared our ambitions quietly, with a few initial supporters. By the time we announced the Farmland Forever campaign publically, in May of 2018, we had already raised $25 million! To say we have been awed by your support for our work — and by your generosity — does not even begin to cover the extent of our gratitude.

As you also know, Measure A, a quarter-cent sales tax that Marin County Jamison Watts Ralph Grossi voters first approved in 2012, has also played a large role in our success. Executive Director Chair, MALT Board of Directors Tomales Fa Bodega llon Bay Rd Now Farmland Forever, Thanks to You

The owners of this beef cattle ranch, Protecting Furlong Ranch fit well with MALT’s aim to sisters Dolores Evans and Darlene Giacomini, knew that its views and preserve connected blocks of farmland to achieve broad conservation goals, so proximity to East Marin would make this property vulnerable to subdivision when the elderly owner’s sons approached MALT to apply for a conservation and development once they were gone. They sought help from MALT easement, a partnership was quickly formed. to protect the ranch for agriculture forever. As Dolores put it, “The word subdivision is not in our vocabulary!” Furlong Ranch borders state park land to the west and is now part of a 10,433-acre block of MALT-protected land at the southeast end of Tomales This ranch is both scenic and productive, and watersheds flowing to Tomales Bay, an important wildlife corridor stretching from the Marin-Sonoma coast Bay and Nicasio and Soulajule reservoirs originate here.

Furlong Ranch is also the last piece of land Ranch is now part of a 26,515-acre block of protected farmland stretching in the Millerton Gulch Creek watershed to be protected, by either MALT or from Nicasio up Chileno Valley and east to Novato, which helps protect both California State Parks. regional biodiversity and water quality. Sheep and cattle graze here, and MALT is planning a major stream restoration project with the goal of bringing steelhead trout back to Millerton Gulch Creek — the first time MALT has had an opportunity to restore an entire watershed.

4 The Taylors faced a critical decision point when Karen’s mother, Sharon M. Doughty, passed away in 2014. Though the Taylors owned the dairy business on Bianchini Ranch, Point Reyes Station the property and had invested deeply in infrastructure and land improvements, they did not own the ranch. They considered selling the dairy but opted instead 705 acres to purchase the ranch from Karen’s sister and to sell a conservation easement Protected by MALT March 2018 to MALT.

The easement allowed Karen and John not only to preserve their own investment in the land but also to honor the hard work of many generations of dairy men and Karen Taylor, a sixth-generation dairywoman, women before them. MALT protection also guarantees that their children will was raised on this ranch and learned dairying from her parents. Together with her not face the same tough decisions they did and can continue the family’s husband, John, and their three children, she owns and operates Bivalve Dairy® and farming tradition. recently opened Bivalve Creamery to produce organic butter and artisan cheese.

5 In those days there was no Nicasio Reservoir. In the 1960s, the McIsaacs lost their J. McIsaac Ranch, Nicasio homestead to make way for its construction. As the decades passed they watched ranch after ranch turn to homes, sought after for their stunning views. When a for-sale sign appeared on the ranch one day in 2016, Jim and his wife, Sue, knew 527 acres Protected by MALT May 2018 they had to act or the ranch would almost certainly be sold as a site for homes and the land Jim’s family had tended for 135 years would never be farmed again.

Thanks to a MALT easement, the J. McIsaac Ranch and its certified organic Jim McIsaac’s great-grandfather, a dairyman pastures are now permanently protected for farming. from Nova Scotia, took a lease on this ranch in 1881. The family has been grazing dairy cows here ever since.

Now livestock graze here again, this time beef cattle. Under the terms of the MALT easement, the land must continue to be used for productive agriculture by It’s rare for Marin farmland to return to agriculture the Hetfields and any future owners. Every protected acre helps maintain the once lost; it’s rarer still along developed and pricey Lucas Valley Road, just economic stability of Marin’s farming community. minutes from Highway 101. Yet thanks to an agreement between MALT, the Marin County Open Space District (MCOSD) and ranch owners James and Francesca Hetfield, that’s exactly the story with this property.

9 We are pleased to report that 2017–2018 was another successful fiscal year for Financial MALT. We completed five easement acquisitions, protecting 3,847 acres of farmland permanently. Our stewardship staff visited all 80 ranches already under MALT protection to confirm the Report FY conditions of each easement and support landowners in stewarding the land. In preparation for easement acquisitions in future years, we evaluated five new ranches.

2017–2018 The fiscal year 2017–2018 was also a successful year for fundraising. Unrestricted cash contributions were almost $2.1 million, and we received pledges of almost $4 million from private sector donors for easement acquisitions, stewardship and general operating support.

REVENUE: Total revenue grew from $7.1 million in 2016–2017 to $13.6 million in 2017–2018.

EXPENSES: Total expenses grew from $6.3 million to $16.9 million. The main driver of this was our accelerated easement acquisition pace; 90% of the increased expenses were directly attributable to easement acquisition costs.

NET ASSETS: MALT ended the year with over $27 million in net assets, a decrease of $3.2 million. This decrease is due primarily to the increased number of easement acquisitions. MALT spent money in 2017–2018 on easement acquisition that we had raised in prior years for that purpose.

Thanks to the commitment of our members and public agency partners, MALT is well positioned to maintain our new pace of farmland protection over the next few years. MALT’s efficient funding model, in which donor dollars are matched with public funds, such as the currently available sales tax revenue from the Marin County Farmland Preservation Program created by Measure A, means that we can leverage private gifts to protect more farmland. MALT was able to match $6.5 million of privately raised dollars with Measure A funds in 2017–2018.

Since MALT’s inception in 1980, we have raised $84.6 million in public and private dollars to permanently protect Marin County farmland.

The amounts presented here are derived from MALT’s audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2018. Copies of the audited report are available on our website and upon request.

28 Corporate Circle Spotlight: Straus Family Creamery Using Agriculture as Climate Change Solution

At the creamery, he eventually developed a collaborative relationship model that resonated with organic dairy farmers. This model prioritizes economic welfare and land stewardship for dairy farmers while meeting the need for local organic dairy products. Today, this farming model has expanded to include carbon farming, a crucial investment in our planet’s future aligned with MALT’s vision for making food production part of the climate change solution.

On the Straus Dairy Farm and other MALT-protected properties, the regenerative practice of carbon farming is helping move carbon from the atmosphere into the soil. In 2013, Albert launched his 20-year carbon farm plan, to reduce and

sequester 2,000 metric tons of CO2 annually. As with other MALT-recommended sustainable land management practices, carbon farming improves soil quality and water retention, naturally increasing pasture production to provide cows with more nutritionally rich grasses for maximum grazing.

Creating (on-farm) renewable energy is part of Albert’s bigger vision of getting Climate change is an increasing concern his farm off fossil fuels entirely. “Poop to power” is how Straus describes for many local, sustainable family farms and food businesses in the MALT capturing methane from his cows’ manure and turning it into electricity.

The digester has reduced the farm’s carbon footprint by 1,645 metric tons agriculture as a climate change solution. Albert’s goal is to make his Marshall annually — equivalent to taking about 350 passenger cars off the road for one dairy farm carbon-neutral in the next three years and that his replicable model year. And in 2017, Albert introduced the country’s first electric feed truck after will be used here in Marin and on other farms throughout the state and the world. spending eight years working with a local mechanic to convert a heavyweight truck motor from diesel to electric. Albert, son of MALT co-founder Ellen Straus, has long prioritized sustainable agriculture. A tireless innovator, his path to environmental leadership was “My personal and company’s vision is to build a thriving relation- influenced by the values passed on from his parents. Close to 25 years ago, he ship between farms, food, people and the earth. Creating a local, helped change the dairy industry by creating a demand for organic dairy milk. He sustainable model where family farmers and rural communities converted his family farm to organic in 1994, becoming the first certified organic are prospering is critical for the future of farming and succession dairy farm west of the Mississippi River. During the same year, he started the to the next generation.” – ALBERT STRAUS creamery, the first 100% certified organic creamery in the United States.
