Executive Director at Agricultural-Natural Resources Trust - Concord, California, United States
Agricultural-Natural Resources Trust's (ANRT) mission is to "To enable and support landowners in the conservation of their farm and ranch lands and to continue the stewardship of our natural resources and biodiversity, for a healthy and diverse natural environment well into the future."IN OUR COMMUNITY –We are fortunate to be surrounded by productive farms and ranches that make agriculture the Bay Area's largest industry. Not only do agricultural lands contribute economically to the community, but these lands also protect watershed and habitats as well as providing the working landscape that defines our heritage and our quality of life. ANRT IS DEDICATEDTo conserving working family ranches and farms, working landscapes, natural habitats, and the communities they support. We work in cooperation with private landowners, conservation agencies and other concerned entities to ensure the future of agriculture and our natural resources. ANRT Was formed as the first Land Trust of Eastern Contra Costa County by the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors in 1997. Conserving the agricultural heritage and natural resources of Contra Costa County, as well as neighboring areas, is critical to protecting our way of life. We're not a government agency but a private, nonprofit corporation that depends on the support of generous donors, landowners, and volunteers. As ANRT's portfolio of protected land grows, we continue to direct our attention towards the sustainability and stewardship of these areas by providing resources to landowners on conservation and stewardship practices and requirements. We reflect our commitment to the sustainability and maintenance of the lands we protect with every action we take.
