At Environmental Forum of Marin (EFM), we're all about education for action. Our founders started by protecting Marin's natural beauty and wild shorelines. Thanks to our EFM members that proud legacy continues and adapts to today's most pressing environmental challenges, which include the climate crisis and the need to support biodiversity. We invite you to join us.
Since 1972, EFM has empowered 2,000+ environmental leaders. In designing this year’s program, we have drawn inspiration from ‘Braiding Sweetgrass’ by Robin Wall Kimmerer.
