The County has made great strides in reducing its own carbon footprint, but a similar commitment to sustainable living must be adopted by every resident regardless of their demographic profile.

The County of Marin Department of Agriculture strives to preserve, protect, and promote sustainable agriculture within the county.
Through programs and activities such as Marin Organic Certified Agriculture (MOCA), Pest Prevention/Detection/Exclusion, Integrated Pest Management, and the Livestock Protection
Program, the Department supports a wide variety of agricultural interests and enterprises.

Marin County Fire Crews' physical removal of brush, trees and other vegetation at various Marin locations, to reduce fire hazard and/or treat invasive species.
