December MLT Monthly
There is so much happening in all our lives right now so we will keep our December newsletter short and sweet. Please do watch your mailbox and email over the next week for detailed info about what the Mendocino Land Trust has been working on in the past year -- and good things to come.
Will you join us on Friday?
"MLT on Main" Open House December 3
Put on some holiday flair (optional!) and stop by and see our new office space at 215 South Main Street in Fort Bragg, right next to the Mendocino Coast Chamber of Commerce. Sip hot cider at the picnic table outside and let’s chat about conservation priorities in Mendocino County. Drop in any time between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Make sure to bring and wear your mask. Special prizes for those who come with nature or conservation-themed masks. DIY-decorated KN-95 masks are encouraged - get creative with stickers or natural items like leaves or shells.

Hope to see you on Friday, December 3. Questions? Give our office a call at (707) 962-0470 or email info@mendocinolandtrust.org.
Going the Extra Mile
Thanks to Our Trail Keepers!
Did you know that MLT has built and maintains over 20 miles of trails? Find them all -- and info about additional trails -- in our online trail guide!

We'd like to give a special holiday thank you to the businesses that have gone the extra mile to support MLT trails by becoming "Trail Keepers". Big thanks to Visit Mendocino, Sonoma Clean Power, Rossi Building Materials, Terry N. Gross, Attorney at Law, Noyo Harbor Inn / Harbor View Bistro and Bar, The Andiron Seaside Inn & Cabins, The Beachcomber Motel, Waste Management's Fort Bragg Office, and the Westport Hotel / Old Abalone Pub for supporting MLT trails!
You’ll find their names proudly displayed at the trailheads for trails at Pelican Bluffs, Navarro Point, Belinda Point, and Old Smith Ranch.
