Join us for MCL’s Annual Environmental Awards Dinner, a fabulous evening celebrating the people making a difference for Marin’s environment.

This year’s award recipients reflect the extraordinary range of people and organizations working to protect Marin’s environment—from restoring Marin’s creeks and habitats, to investigative journalism that led to a shake-up in MCE’s leadership, to helping elementary school students turn waste reduction into action.
