The Environmental Action Committee of West Marin (EAC) was founded in 1971 by a group of citizens who wanted both to protect the region from immediate threats and to foster a wider understanding of its unique qualities. The EAC is a tenacious, highly effective grassroots advocacy organization dedicated to the protection and appreciation of West Marin’s wild lands, wildlife, wilderness, watersheds, and rural character. EAC works for clean air, pure waters, healthy ecosystems, a diverse and thriving native flora and fauna, and the preservation of a rural, community spirit.
