About SBALT
Our Vision
The San Benito Agricultural Land Trust envisions a San Benito County that supports a thriving agricultural economy, sustainable communities, and open space, and that honors and maintains its rural heritage.
The Land Trust is the trusted, local institution to facilitate land conservation in San Benito County, foster conservation partnerships that benefit the county, and responsibly steward its property interests.
What We Do
The San Benito Agricultural Land Trust is dedicated to providing financial options to farmers and ranchers in order to protect the agricultural heritage of San Benito County. The Trust can protect land permanently and directly by accepting conservation easements designed to meet the individual needs of farmers and ranchers. As a non-profit, private, tax-exempt organization, the trust is funded through membership, donations and grants.
Here is your paragraph thoughtfully expanded and elaborated to provide greater clarity, purpose, and context:
The Mission of the San Benito Agricultural Land Trust is to proactively identify, protect, and conserve regionally significant lands within San Benito County. By working closely with landowners, community partners, and local governments, the Land Trust safeguards the long-term viability of productive agriculture, ensuring these vital lands continue to nourish our communities. Additionally, we strive to preserve natural open spaces, protect habitats and ecosystems, and maintain the distinctive rural character that makes San Benito County uniquely beautiful and culturally rich. Our efforts help ensure that future generations can continue to experience the economic benefits of working agricultural landscapes, the ecological value of protected habitats, and the tranquility and heritage of our county’s cherished rural lifestyle.
Conserving Local Lands, Supporting Family Farms, and Sustaining Our Community.
