SAVING CONTRA COSTAA CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT OUR ENDANGERED LANDS

John Muir Land Trust supporters want to make the world a better place. They believe in demanding a high level of accountability from themselves and our organization. And they work hard putting their values into action. They take the initiative. They are proactive. They expect the organization to support them in their endeavors. We often do.

Our work ethic, our rigor, our willingness to take risks, our belief in permanent land protection, our belief in providing access, our embrace of life — these are the strands of JMLT’s collective DNA. They link JMLT supporters of all ages. While members of the JMLT community may be from vastly different socioeconomic circumstances, or hold different religious or political beliefs — they feel kinship.

Together, we can build upon JMLT’s efforts and secure our place as one of the country’s great conservation organizations. We can ensure that JMLT’s values continue to inspire and transform our community for future generations.

That is why we are preparing to launch a comprehensive campaign intended to more than double the acreage under protection by JMLT across the next five years. It is our opportunity to make strategic investments that will ensure regional conservation now and in the future.

These are ambitious goals. But JMLT has always been a place of driving ambition and high moral purpose. Please read about JMLT’s many aspirations and accomplishments, and join our Saving Contra Costa campaign. Help us make the world a better place.

INTRODUCTION

In just 25 short years, John Muir Land Trust has risen from its humble beginnings to become one of the leading forces for conservation in northern California. With more than 2,000 acres now under stewardship, many of the most beautiful places in Contra Costa County are permanently preserved for recreation, wildlife and scenic views.

MISSION

John Muir Land Trust protects and cares for open space, ranches, farms, parkland and shoreline in Contra Costa County.

VISION

John Muir Land Trust believes that the vitality of our open spaces is essential to the health of our earth, air, water and our native plants and animals — and all of us. Our vision is to ensure that the beauty, diversity and fullness of our natural areas continue to enrich and sustain all generations of life. We acquire, protect and steward these diminishing lands, and we foster environmental awareness so that each person understands the need to preserve our natural heritage.

BRIEF HISTORY

The Martinez Regional Land Trust was incorporated in 1989 to protect 150 acres of Alhambra Valley open space. We now call that property Stonehurst — located within the community of the same name. Just three years later, the Land Trust made possible the addition of a 325-acre Mount Wanda property to the John Muir National Historic Site. By 1997 the stakes became much greater with Sky Ranch in the Franklin Hills, a vital 242-acre parcel with a purchase price of $685,000. In order to finance such a significant acquisition, the Land Trust had to grow into a professional fundraising organization. As we reached our 10th anniversary, membership grew to 700 individuals and the name was changed to Muir Heritage Land Trust to associate our mission with John Muir and his heritage of conservation. The purchase of the 80-acre Gustin Ranch followed in 2000, just to the north of Sky Ranch. In 2015 we evolved the name to John Muir Land Trust ( JMLT).

Less than 10% of saltwater tidal marshes remain in the Bay Area, so the protection of 247-acre Pacheco Marsh was a key priority. After a decade of effort, it was acquired in

2001. The following year we began stewardship of the Contra Costa Goldfields, protecting 30 acres of what had been the county’s last stand of an endangered species of wildflower. In 2003, we acquired Bodfish Preserve, a small but treasured Orinda property with dream-world woodlands.

Acquired in 2003, Dutra Ranch made for a perfect trifecta of three adjacent lands on the Franklin Ridge — which are now protected as 480 acres of contiguous open space. JMLT’s largest property, 702-acre Fernandez Ranch, was purchased in 2005 and fully restored to its current glory. Stunning Franklin Canyon, a long sought-after 483-acre parcel next to Fernandez Ranch, was acquired in 2010. Dramatic Acalanes Ridge was also purchased that year and opened to the public in 2011.

Franklin Canyon opens for public use in 2016. JMLT recentlypurchased and donated to John Muir National Historic Site West Hills Farm, a 44-acre property adjacent to the southern border of Mount Wanda.

About JMLT

INTRODUCTION

“Nature is always lovely, invincible, glad... All scars she heals, whether in rocks or water or sky or hearts.” — John Muir

HOW WE WORK

John Muir Land Trust works to permanently protect our most precious natural areas by identifying critical open spaces throughout Contra Costa County. Through a painstaking multi-year process, we negotiate fair purchase prices and ownership rights to these lands, often dealing directly with ranching families that have held the properties for generations.

Individual contributions from private donors enable us to leverage matching funds from state and federal agencies to help secure our region’s precious natural legacy. We also receive support from a variety of private foundations and sponsors (see below). By saving these lands from development, JMLT ensures their survival as wildlife habitat, ranches and farms, creeks, streams and shoreline. They become public recreation areas for local residents to enjoy today and for future generations.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

An engaged Board of Directors and a number of dedicated committees oversee all JMLT activities. Detailed biographies of each Board member appear on our website. And for those who might like to get involved, brief descriptions of our committees appear on page 9 of this brochure. We invite you to participate!

PARTNERS

JMLT attracts substantial support from a wide variety of public agencies, private foundations and corporate sponsors. Through their generous contributions, our partners have distinguished themselves as true community leaders. For a comprehensive list of these organizations, please see page 30.

Everything we depend on comes from the earth. Some of these resources are non-renewable, or in limited supply. There are many ways to live responsibly and sustainably, now and in the future. John Muir Land Trust permanently protects land throughout Contra Costa County to safeguard our beautiful environment for people and animals alike.

“Keep close to Nature’s heart... break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.” — John Muir

PROTECTING WOODLANDS

JMLT has preserved thousands of acres of beloved oak woodland and grassland that supports high quality habitat for a diversity of native Contra Costa wildlife and plants. Gentle trails provide public recreation through rolling grasslands and oak woodlands, spring wildflowers, and spectacular views that attract visitors who enjoy and appreciate the natural setting of Contra Costa County.

PROTECTING CREEKS & STREAMS

Water is the foundation for all life on earth — it is a fragile resource that must be managed for sustainable use. Drinking water shortages caused by drought and pollution pose an ongoing threat to our community. But thankfully, wetlands filter toxins and store excess water. Streams shape the landscape and transport vital nutrients. Ponds and lakes support a rich diversity of life. Groundwater reserves store and supply filtered drinking water. Contra Costa watershed, crucial to our future, is protected by JMLT.

PROTECTING RANCHES & FARMS

JMLT works to preserve agriculture in Contra Costa County. Ranch and farmland is rapidly disappearing, as a result of skyrocketing local real estate prices. We purchase agricultural land that is at risk of development, and then lease it back to ranchers and farmers to help preserve agriculture in our area and ensure sources of fresh food close to home.

INTRODUCTIONWhat We Do

5Visit jmlt.org

PROTECTING PARKLANDS

Contra Costa residents are fortunate to have protected open space and parklands that offer scenic vistas, abundant recreational opportunities and reprieve from urban closeness. All of these factors play a role in the quality of life for local residents. JMLT helps to ensure a high quality of life for future generations by strategically purchasing key natural areas. These properties provide maximum public benefit to our regional community and capitalize on a wide range of partnership opportunities.

PROTECTING SHORELINE

Our beautiful bay and delta shoreline is part of what makes Contra Costa such a wonderful place to live and it is essential habitat for wildlife. We are a regional leader in protecting shoreline properties and improving public access to them. JMLT projects include Pacheco Marsh, at the foot of the Walnut Creek channel on the Carquinez Strait, and Point Molate, near the San Rafael Bridge in Richmond.

PROTECTING WILDLIFE

Biological diversity refers to the variety of life that exists in our world. Every organism, big or small, plays a role — yet our world and region are becoming less diverse. Partly due to human activities, the rate of extinction is accelerating rapidly and thousands of species of animals are already classified as “threatened” or “endangered.” What we do now, and how we choose to do it, matters a lot to other creatures — and to ourselves. Construction of homes and buildings; the strain on natural resources for food, clothing, fuel and all the stuff we consume; and the waste we produce — contribute to the main cause of animal species loss. JMLT protects the lands and critical habitats for Contra Costa wildlife.

“Keep close to Nature’s heart... break clear away, once in a while, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.” — John Muir

INTRODUCTION

6 Call (925) 228-5460

There is a long-term life cycle to finding, acquiring and taking care of all JMLT properties. When we say “permanently protected” we mean it. And the acquisition and stewardship of our properties means cleaner air, more abundant water supplies and increased opportunities for environmental awareness throughout Contra Costa County.

RESEARCH

Before John Muir Land Trust considers a property for potential acquisition, there is typically a long and rigorous process of investigation, review and negotiation. Many criteria are considered. Where in Contra Costa is it located? Is it intrinsically beautiful? Which plant and animal species will be protected? What are the opportunities for human recreation? How will county residents gain a direct benefit? What resources are needed to acquire and maintain the property? What will happen to the land if JMLT does not intervene? Are developers of housing or commercial real estate involved? Do the overall benefits justify the costs?

ACQUISITION

After the research and negotiation phase is complete, JMLT arrives at an agreement with a willing seller to acquire their property for a certain price, not exceeding the objective appraised value. At that point we turn to the community — foundations, sponsors and individual donors — to raise the necessary funds for acquisition. Depending on the size and price of the property, this phase often requires the focused collaboration of many highly motivated people, including everyone on the JMLT Board, staff and committees. But we are a determined group, having raised well over $20 million for land acquisition and stewardship since 1989. We expect this figure to increase substantially in coming years with some important new properties on the horizon.

STEWARDSHIP

Land is more than just property to be bought and sold. It is a critical element of our environment, providing food, water, recreation, natural beauty and wildlife habitat. Once we acquire a property, our philosophy is to responsibly manage and care for these resources — now and going forward. JMLT utilizes traditional and innovative stewardship techniques to carefully maintain, restore and enhance the unique conservation values of each property. Taking care of these Contra Costa lands is essential to the health of our earth, air, water, plants and animals — and all of us.

INTRODUCTIONWhat We Do

7Visit jmlt.org

CLEAN AIR

JMLT’s land conservation activities sustain Contra Costa County air quality by preserving open space and providing a home to tens of thousands of trees. Further, our protected lands help mitigate the climate change impact of carbon dioxide (CO2) — the primary greenhouse gas emitted by transportation and industrial sources of air pollution. Without JMLT’s land protection successes, many of our properties would have been developed, further depleting natural resources and increasing air pollution in our area.

SAVING WATER

The quality and quantity of water in our region is threatened by expanding population, development, pollution and climate change. Open space with native vegetation helps maintain sources of clean water and costs less than mechanical water treatment systems. In fact, some of the world’s best drinking water is a product of the filtration processes found in natural landscapes. All of JMLT’s protected properties serve as critical watershed in Contra Costa County, supplying water and wildlife habitat — and contributing to an enhanced quality of life.

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS

Central to JMLT’s mission is to foster environmental awareness among residents of Contra Costa County. This is especially important among young people and JMLT makes its properties readily available for outdoor-based school programs. Further, we have developed our first pilot program using POINT, an interactive GPS-based system providing a variety of fun and informative tours of Fernandez Ranch (see page 15).

“One touch of nature makes all the world kin.” — John Muir

Get outside and enjoy life! It reduces stress; improves your self-esteem, confidence and creativity; provides for spiritual growth; and increases your sense of exhilaration. Outdoor recreation offers physical benefits including aerobic, cardiovascular and muscular fitness, as well as improved functioning of the immune system. And JMLT’s beautiful properties let you bond with family, friends and other like-minded people who enjoy outdoor activities. Stunning lands are just minutes from your own home, so take in the beauty of Contra Costa’s precious natural heritage — life is all around you.

WALK, HIKE, BIKE & RIDE

Several of JMLT’s properties have well-maintained multi-use trails for a quick jog or an all-day affair on foot, horseback or mountain bike. Many of the trails lead to panoramic

views of Mount Diablo, the Carquinez Strait, the Oakland Hills and much of Contra Costa County. Some of our paths provide important connectors to the Bay Area Ridge Trail and the San Francisco Bay Trail. While our trailheads are just a short drive from heavily populated Contra Costa cities, you’ll feel like you’re on vacation! Dogs are welcome throughout JMLT lands. For a special treat, experience the POINT mobile app, providing a free digital tour guide in Fernandez Ranch (see page 15). Portions of Fernandez Ranch are accessible to people of limited mobility.

SEE WILDLIFE

Various JMLT properties are host to many indigenous plants and animals, with a wide range of possible wildlife viewing opportunities. In some cases they are classified as “threatened” or “endangered” species, such as the Alameda whipsnake, California red-legged frog, golden eagle, Cooper’s hawk and the Mount Diablo sunflower. Our wild lands serve as home to deer, fox, coyote,

badger, mountain lion, raptors, a variety of reptiles and many other animals, but please don’t worry! They keep their distance and your dogs and children are safe.

Fernandez Ranch

702 ACRES • FRANKLIN RIDGE

Located just off Highway 4 between Hercules and Martinez, Fernandez Ranch offers stunning views, shaded hiking trails and a variety of wildlife, including several threatened plant and animal species. Visitors can gaze at the glittering blue of the San Francisco Bay from the ranch’s summits and the northern Bay Area is visible from its ridge tops.

The historic property of Bernardo and Carlotta Fernandez remained within the family for nearly 150 years. John Muir Land Trust approached the Fernandez family to preserve what remained of the original 7,000-acre ranch and raised funding for a $3.5 million dollar restoration project that began in 2008. Two years later, the property was opened to the public.

Recreation opportunities abound at Fernandez Ranch! Miles of multiuse trails are available for hiking, mountain bikes and horses, including 1.5 miles of ADA-accessible trails and connections to adjacent protected lands. Dogs can be off-leash on the ranch’s trails as long as they are under control at all times. There are three picnic areas and a staging area for horse trailers. Fernandez Ranch is accessible to those with limited mobility.

Hike the Windmill Trail to see a mid-20th century dairy farm, the old windmill and Fern Creek, before ascending to a segment of the Bay Area Ridge Trail and into the Pinole Valley Watershed. Or, enjoy a meal and bird watching after walking the ADA-accessible Black Phoebe Trail, where you’ll find picnic tables and benches at the edge of South Meadow.

Breathtaking views await at the top of the Whipsnake Trail and kids can have a giggle rambling the hills and meadows looking for a variety of bugs, beetles and animal tracks. You may even catch a glimpse of a rare animal or two, including the endangered Alameda whipsnake, the California red-legged frog and maybe an American badger. But keep a keen eye out for the whipsnake — despite the two bright yellow stripes on its back, it is shy and hard to spot.

At dawn and dusk, the meadows at Fernandez Ranch come alive! Deer emerge from the woods and coyotes howl to one another. Oak-studded slopes and freshwater wetlands give way to Rodeo Creek, whose banks are cloaked in Coast live oak. In the springtime, poppies, lupine and the threatened Mount Diablo sunflower — which only grows in Contra Costa County — blanket the ranch in vibrant color.

Franklin Canyon

483 ACRES • HERCULES

One of the most important projects ever undertaken by the John Muir Land Trust, Franklin Canyon is a 483-acre property comprised of rolling hills, deep canyons, and spectacular panoramic views in every direction. Combined with JMLT’s Fernandez Ranch, which is immediately adjacent, Franklin Canyon creates a 1,185-acre preserve of permanently protected open space in which people, plants and animals can thrive.

Wooded hills on the property, visible just south of the John Muir Parkway (Highway 4), provide a scenic display rising behind the Franklin Canyon Golf Course. A segment of Rodeo Creek flows perennially in Franklin Canyon, as well as key tributaries that contain water much of the year. JMLT is the permanent owner and steward of more than one-fifth of the land within the Rodeo Creek watershed.

A fragile ecosystem preserves habitat for a variety of special-status species such as Cooper’s hawk, northern harrier, California red-legged frog and western pond turtle. Riparian scrub along Rodeo Creek includes arroyo willow, thickets of California blackberry and short-spiked hedge nettle. This vegetation serves as a movement corridor for both aquatic and terrestrial species, providing relatively secure cover along its length.

Public access to Franklin Canyon is scheduled to begin in spring 2015. The area is especially well suited for hiking, with paths that provide important connectors to the 550-mile Bay Area Ridge Trail and the 500-mile San Francisco Bay Trail. Dogs will be welcome! The property offers a striking and peaceful contrast to densely developed areas in nearby Hercules.

JMLT PROPERTIES

While the 23-acre Acalanes Ridge is physically small compared to other John Muir Land Trust properties, it is of exponential importance to those who live in the community and enjoy its scenery, trails and sweeping views of the region. The land is located within the boundaries of the City of Lafayette, and encompasses a scenic ridgeline visible from Lafayette, Walnut Creek, the Highway 24 corridor and beyond.

Acalanes Ridge is accessible for day use via several trails, including the regional trail between Briones Regional Park and Mount Diablo State Park. Hikers reaching the 781-foot summit of this sky-reaching open space will find a 360-degree panorama of the Livermore foothills, Mt. Diablo, Suisun Bay, the Carquinez Strait, Briones Regional Park, the Oakland Hills and Las Trampas Regional Park. The property’s location adjacent to Acalanes Ridge Open Space (AROS) offers trail connectors to that recreational area’s popular trail system as well.

Dogs are welcome on the trails, but they won’t be the only animals in the area! Acalanes Ridge provides suitable habitat for a variety of wildlife including deer, fox, coyote, mountain lion, raptors and a variety of reptiles.

JMLT purchased Acalanes Ridge in partnership with the City of Lafayette, City of Walnut Creek and the East Bay Regional Park District. Protection of this land from development could only have been achieved through this unique partnership and JMLT will continue to own the property in perpetuity.

Overlooking Suisun Bay and with glorious views of Mt. Diablo, this extraordinary property nestled in the hills southwest of Martinez was acquired by John Muir Land Trust in 1998, saving it from impending development. Sky Ranch provides important wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities and access to a key segment of the Bay Area Ridge Trail. It remains a glimpse of a distant era, when open land stretched for miles with few signs of human presence.

Sky Ranch links existing East Bay Regional Park District parklands and preserves the Bay Area Ridge Trail and Contra Costa Feeder Trail #1. These trails span the ranch and also connect with a section of the California Hiking & Riding Trail. While hiking, biking or riding your horse along these trails you might see deer, fox, coyote, red-tailed hawk or American kestrel, whose presence speak to the property’s timeless value as a home for both resident and migratory wildlife.

Shady oak woodland and native grassland embrace the upper portions of Alhambra and Rodeo Creeks, where reptiles and amphibians such as the threatened California red-legged frog and the Alameda whipsnake make their residence. Several large and small mammals, songbirds and raptors thrive here, as well as threatened, endangered and special status animals including the golden eagle and the Cooper’s hawk. Majestic mountain lions have been occasionally observed here and one aim of JMLT’s conservation effort is mountain lion habitat protection. But not to worry — the animals keep their distance and your kids and dogs are very safe on all JMLT properties!

You can begin your visit to Sky Ranch on the Feeder Trail, whose first mile offers native plants such as Sticky Monkeyflower and Coyote Mint, before crossing Franklin Creek and climbing the ridge. Elevation gain up to the Sky Ranch Kiosk is 700 feet. Extend your hike via the Tina Batt Trail (3 miles) for excellent views of Mt. Diablo, Contra Costa and the Carquinez Straight. From the Kiosk you can also take the Dutra Loop Trail (2.5 miles) or simply return down the Feeder Trail (1 mile) to your starting point. Regardless of your chosen path, it will be a day well spent!

The Franklin Hills represent an important wildlife corridor that allows animals to roam and thrive in natural habitat. By 2003, JMLT held two wonderful properties there — Sky Ranch and Gustin Ranch — but they did not connect. The historic 158-acre Dutra Ranch was the link in between, so JMLT acquired it from the Dutra Family in 2004. Collectively, these three beautiful properties now offer 480 acres of contiguous open space along the Franklin Ridge, punctuated by a variety of native wildflowers and four kinds of oak trees. JMLT’s purchase of Dutra Ranch ensures it will remain unspoiled and wild, available for recreation and permanently protected from development.

The ranch’s trails meander up grassy hillsides and down through the densely wooded canyon floor, giving hikers, bikers and equestrians an enchanted setting for adventure. The Dutra family ranch site and the interpretive sign along the Dutra Loop Trail provide a glimpse into the history of the land and how the family used it in the late 1800s. Here you will also find a picnic area with breathtaking views of Mt. Diablo, the Carquinez Strait and indeed, much of Contra Costa County.

Dutra Ranch habitat includes annual and perennial native grasslands, bay laurel and coastal scrub. The property hosts a variety of oak trees — blue oak, coast live oak, valley oak and California black oak. Poppies, lupines, yarrow, Sticky Monkey Flower and Mt. Diablo sunflowers are abundant. A vital segment of the 550-mile Bay Area Ridge Trail runs through here, as do the upper reaches of the Alhambra and Rodeo creeks, supporting reptiles and amphibians including the threatened California red-legged frog and the Alameda whipsnake.

You can begin your visit to Dutra Ranch on the Feeder Trail, which crosses Franklin Creek under bay laurel trees before climbing the ridge. Elevation gain up to the Sky Ranch Kiosk is 700 feet. Extend your hike via the Tina Batt Trail (3 miles) through grasslands and oak for great views of the surrounding area. From the kiosk you can also take the Dutra Loop Trail (2.5 miles) through the canyon or simply return down the Feeder Trail (1 mile) to your starting point. Dogs are welcome!

To the north of Dutra Ranch lies Gustin Ranch – 80 acres of thick woods and grass-covered hills, offering sweeping views of the Carquinez Strait, Mt. Diablo and the

Sierra. This gorgeous property was on the verge of being subdivided, with plans to pave historic Feeder Trail #1 and turn it into a road for homeowner access. John Muir Land Trust stepped in to acquire Gustin Ranch in 2002, forever protecting the popular multi-use trail and leaving both land and wildlife intact.

Collectively, Gustin Ranch, Sky Ranch and Dutra Ranch offer 480 acres of contiguous open space along the spectacular Franklin Ridge, providing permanent wildlife protection to several threatened, endangered and special status animal species including the golden eagle, Cooper’s hawk and Alameda whipsnake. Blue oak, coast live oak, valley oak and California black oak cover the properties, while native grasses

and wildflowers, including the rare Mt. Diablo sunflower, are abundant.

An integral portion of the 550-mile Bay Area Ridge Trail traverses these ranches, as do the Alhambra and Rodeo creek watersheds, supporting the threatened California red-legged frog and the western pond turtle. Many large and small mammals, songbirds and raptors also thrive here.

You can begin your visit to Gustin Ranch on the Feeder Trail, which crosses Franklin Creek under the shade of bay laurel trees before winding up the ridge. Elevation gain up to the Sky Ranch Kiosk is 700 feet. Extend your hike via the Tina Batt Trail (3 miles) through grasslands and oak for extensive views of the region.

JMLT PROPERTIES

When John Muir explored the terrain around his Martinez home, he often took his daughters Wanda and Helen with him. About one of their Contra Costa strolls he wrote: “Another lovely day, mostly solid sunshine. Took a fine fragrant walk… the babies delighted.” This beautiful land, named after his daughter, is now a public treasure!

The 325-acre property, once part of Muir’s landholdings, was not included when the U.S. National Park Service established the John Muir National Historic Site in 1964. The NPS had planned to buy the land from local rancher Gordon Strain in 1991, but the deal came to the brink of collapse. JMLT stepped in to save the property for public use by pledging the funds required to complete the purchase.

Now, you can take your own “fine fragrant walk” on Mount Wanda. Go for a full moon walk, seasonal wildflower walk or bird walk, each hosted by the National Park Service. Hike, bike, ride a horse or take your dog for a stroll through the property’s oak woodland and grassy hills, dotted with native wildflowers such as California buttercup, shooting stars, woodland star, lupines and fiddlenecks.

Take the Mount Wanda trail and enjoy views of the Carquinez Strait and surrounding hills. Coast live oak, blue oak and valley oak line the trail as it ascends the summit. Once at the top, Mount Diablo and the surrounding hills become visible. The more gradual John Muir Nature Trail provides views of Mount Diablo, the Carquinez Strait and Briones Park. On a clear day, you might also spot cows across the valley grazing in the sunshine.

JMLT has recently signed an agreement to purchase West Hills Farm, an additional 44-acre property adjacent to the southern border of Mount Wanda. This strategic ridgeline acquisition will protect quality wildlife habitat that would otherwise have been developed as residential housing.

GETTING TO MOUNT WANDAFrom I-80: Head east on Highway 4. Exit at Alhambra Avenue and turn right. Make a sharp right onto Franklin Canyon Road. Park in the lot at the intersection of Alhambra Avenue and Franklin Canyon Road.

Contra Costa Goldfields

30 ACRES • HERCULES

Freshwater vernal pools along busy Highway 4 seem an unlikely home for an endangered plant. But here, a golden, daisy-like wildflower makes the most of its ephemeral display on spring days. JMLT protects and cares for this last-known stand of Contra Costa goldfields within its namesake county.

The shocking-yellow flowers grow thickly in meadows, creating sheaths of vibrant color that astound onlookers. Although this species used to grow throughout a large swath of coastal California and in some inland areas, development nearly brought it to extinction and the federal government classified the goldfields as endangered in 1997. Non-native grasses have also played a part in the plant’s near-demise, killing nearly all the other goldfields growing in Contra Costa County.

In 2002, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority awarded JMLT a conservation easement on a 30-acre preserve east of Hercules where the goldfields grow, enabling the trust to protect them. When JMLT took over the property, the number of plants had plummeted to nearly nothing. The trust used cattle grazing to beat back the deadly grasses and give the plants a chance to flourish — and it worked!

To prosper, the plant needs pools that form in the winter but dry out in the spring. Interestingly, the churn and divots from cattle hooves create little pools,

collecting water with which the plant can thrive. The goldfields have burgeoned there since, bringing their numbers back into the thousands.

In addition to our stewardship of the seasonal wetlands comprising the Contra Costa Goldfields preserve, JMLT manages nearby vernal pools as well as a section of Rodeo Creek that traverses the area. Annual biological assessments track the number of flowers that now thrive on the property. Spring is best for viewing the gorgeous goldfields in bloom and JMLT leads wildflower hikes during that time of year.

The percentage of saltwater tidal wetlands remaining in the vast San Francisco Bay is small, perhaps just three to five percent. Regardless, John Muir Land Trust played a critical role in protecting this rare habitat when it purchased the 247-acre Pacheco Marsh, in a 2001 partnership with the East Bay Regional Park District and the Contra Costa County Flood Control District.

This former saltwater tidal marsh located within the lower delta of the Carquinez Strait Corridor is not currently open to the public, but JMLT plans are in progress to restore saltwater tidal flow to the marsh’s marine habitat and offer public access to a premier bird watching site.

Pacheco Marsh was originally part of a section of brackish marshland bordering the southwestern edge of Suisun Bay along the Walnut Creek channel. Tidal flow brought water and nutrients from Suisun Bay to the wildlife living there, but the property was eventually diked, cutting off the wildlife from these vital waters. JMLT plans to restore tidal flow to the property and recreate the habitat that several threatened bird species depended on, before the tidal marsh habitat was destroyed.

Several species of the threatened birds can be seen at Pacheco Marsh, including California black rail, California clapper rail and the Suisun song sparrow, as well as nesting Forster’s terns, foraging and roosting willets, and long-billed curlews. The marsh’s tidal channels are also home to several marine invertebrates and coastal fish.

During the winter, waterfowl such as northern shoveler and northern pintail rest and forage for food in Suisun Bay’s tidal pools, while American white pelicans use its wetlands to forage and roost. Come autumn and spring, shorebirds, including least sandpipers, western sandpipers, dunlin, American avocets and black-necked stilts, can also be found foraging and roosting in Suisun’s tidal pools. Once JMLT restores the habitat at Pacheco Marsh and creates public access to the area, visitors will be able to watch these birds in all their glory.

Bodfish Preserve

7 ACRES • ORINDA

With its dream-like woodlands and footpaths that connect to nearby trails, the 7-acre Bodfish preserve is now known as a community treasure. But it wasn’t always this way.

Before her death in 1999, Margaret Bodfish established a trust so that her Orinda property and its adobe home on Miner Road would be preserved as a public park. In the ensuing years, the Canyon Ranch Homeowner’s Association, the Orinda Highlands Homeowner’s Association and the Orinda Parks and Recreation Foundation all worked together to protect the oak-covered property, but had not found a permanent solution before a vital deadline approached.

The Bodfish Trust specified that if the property did not become a park within four years, ownership would be transferred to UC Santa Cruz. Had that happened, it likely would have been auctioned off to a developer. At the 11th hour, when the land was just days from being transferred to the university, JMLT stepped in and took ownership instead — to preserve it as public open space and a wildlife sanctuary.

In order to more effectively preserve and maintain this area, JMLT eventually sold the property to a private party and now permanently protects it with a conservation easement.

The Bodfish preserve remains open to the public, and those neighbors who fought so long to preserve this property are happy to share it with the wider community.

A large parcel of 150 acres of pastoral land in Alhambra Valley was at risk of subdivision and development, but at the time, no effective organization existed to defend it. The Martinez Regional Land Trust — which would eventually become John Muir Land Trust — was incorporated in 1989 to protect this open space with a conservation easement.

Contra Costa County had granted a developer the right to build on 5-acre lots on the property, but he instead built the houses on 1.5-acre lots, creating 150 acres of open space with the intention of giving the development rights back to the county. But the county voided a scenic easement for the property, allowing the landowner to build there.

JMLT’s soon-to-be founders weren’t happy with the decision, and set out to form a land protection organization that could hold the development rights in perpetuity. In 1991, Stonehurst’s developer transferred the rights to the 150 acres of open space to the fledgling land trust, making it our first acquisition.

Today this beautiful area is open to Stonehurst residents, who enjoy walking the open space. The land will always be protected, providing recreational opportunities for families and habitat for native wildlife.

COMMUNITY GARDENS

Today’s greater housing density squeezes garden space from homes. But community gardens provide a place for people to produce healthy food and connect to a living, growing and rewarding part of nature.

When Martinez residents wanted a place to dig in the dirt, to plant, to reap an edible harvest, we helped establish a community garden in partnership with the City of Martinez. JMLT has sponsored the popular 4-acre garden, which is located in Hidden Lakes Park, since its 1997 inception.

Participants can rent one of 19 plots of land here for a nominal fee, to grow vegetables and flowers. Even local elementary school students can share the bounty of their efforts with friends, family and other community members.

“When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.” — John Muir

“One day’s exposure to mountains is better than a cartload of books.” — John Muir

LOOKING FORWARD . . .

We hope you agree that John Muir Land Trust has made a real difference in Contra Costa County over the past 25 years. Our conservation efforts have protected several of the area’s most beautiful properties for now and future generations. But while we steward over 2,000 acres of open space, we’re really just getting started.

This brochure serves as the launch of our Saving Contra Costa campaign, with objectives to more than double the acreage under protection by JMLT across the next five years. It is an audacious goal, but everything we have accomplished as an organization to date fuels our confidence.

Of course, our ability to succeed in land preservation is a direct consequence of your support. In coming months we will contact you about specific properties to be acquired by JMLT. Please be on the lookout for these communications — and help us save Contra Costa!
