Community Programs
Mendocino County is a unique blend of forests, ranches, farms and, of course, our wild and scenic coastline. All of these elements are vital parts to our quality of life and local economy. Preservation of these lands has been our mission for 50 years. Preserving Mendocino County goes beyond conserving the lands. It involves the whole community working together to steward the land and to create the next generation of people who will continue to care.
In that light, Mendocino Land Trust is dedicated to offering the Mendocino community and our visitors the opportunity to connect with our land and to learn what it takes to steward them.

Youth Groups
Mendocino Land Trust engages with many school and summer camp groups to teach about conservation and land stewardship. If you would like to have your school, community or workplace group join us for a day on the land, please contact our office at (707) 962-0470 or send an email to info@mendocinolandtrust.org.

Coastal Cleanup Day!
Mendocino Land Trust served as the County coordinator for the annual state-wide Coastal Cleanup Day from 2002 until 2024. Each year, more and more people come together to join in this effort, and MLT still helps to coordinate and gathers volunteers to clean up our preserves. If you are interested in participating on the third Saturday in September this year, please email info@mendocinolandtrust.org.
