ALMOND RANCH IS SAVED! $4 MILLION RAISED Weeks ahead of deadline, a heartfelt thanks is extended to the thousands of you who contributed to The Campaign To Save Almond Ranch. In August, we announced that the California Wildlife Conservation Board (WCB) had awarded John Muir Land Trust a $2 million grant toward the acquisition of this long sought-after “missing piece” along the Franklin Ridge south of Martinez. Our campaign launched nearly ALMOND RANCH two years ago with an initial $1 million commitment from East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD). These agencies fund only the most important natural resource projects, and indeed, 281-acre Almond Ranch has been among the highest conservation priorities in the state for decades. What made the final difference are you and the many other East Bay residents who demonstrated their enthusiasm for permanently protecting this essential wildlife corridor by sending contributions to fund its acquisition. Agencies and large funders consider the depth of community support when they decide how to allocate scarce funds to conservation projects across the state. You delivered spectacularly. Contributions in all sizes from individual donors came to a stunning $1 million. The residents of the nearby neighborhood of Stonehurst contributed $250,000. Readers of the popular wildlife newspaper column written by Joan Morris overwhelmed us with their generosity. An anonymous donor made a $100,000 challenge match that closed the gap. Nature lovers across the region put another win in the column for conservation. Almond Ranch exemplifies the many reasons why land conservation is essential in the coming few decades—when we will see unprecedented population growth and accelerating pressure to develop our remaining natural lands. Protecting the ranch: • Keeps intact a vital wildlife corridor for native, rare, and special-status species, including the federally-listed California red-legged frog and Alameda whipsnake; continues on page 3

In February, we acquired and then conveyed the Batwing property to the City of Lafayette. When it opens next year, this 20-acre property tucked among settled neighborhoods will be a charming community park that residents may enjoy just footsteps from home. In May, overwhelming grassroots support allowed us to save Painted Rock in Lamorinda. It was a nail-biter. Campaigns take unexpected turns, and in this case expected early funding did not materialize. But hundreds of you stepped up, and the outpouring of donations in the final weeks secured these beloved 84 acres. The property will soon anchor a 505-acre community open space in the heart of Lamorinda. With this newsletter we are announcing that Almond Ranch is saved! The acquisition of this special place was first discussed when John Muir Land Trust was founded. What an astounding way to celebrate our thirty year anniversary. Everyone pitched in for this win: an initial $1 million from the East Bay Regional Park District, a $2 million grant from the California Wildlife Conservation Board in August, and $1 million in contributions large and small from all of you in the JMLT community. Thank you! This was indeed a year to celebrate. We were named 2019 California Nonprofit of the Year for the 16th District by Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan. Our Pure Muir Gala in May, Twilight at Fernandez Ranch in August, and Open House in October drew record crowds. We welcomed hundreds of new members to the growing JMLT community. And, our list of future acquisitions is exciting and growing. Thank you for making this possible. Wishing you and your family a very joyous holiday season! Sincerely,
Linus Eukel, Executive Director

• Protects clean water in three tributaries in the Alhambra Creek watershed; • Adds key missing segments to the 550-mile Bay Area Ridge Trail and the 50-mile Carquinez Strait Scenic Loop Trail; • Provides the connection point needed to bring together fully 18,000 acres of conserved land including Briones Regional Park, the Carquinez Regional Shoreline, and the Franklin Ridge Wildlife and Trail Corridor; • Connects the six properties that JMLT has already protected in thirty years of work along the Franklin Ridge; • Expands greatly the experience of visiting the John Muir National Historic Site by adding miles of adjacent new trails and ridgelines to explore—places where John Muir himself trekked above his home in Martinez; • Offers jaw-dropping views of Bay Area scenery from a lofty and unobstructed viewpoint: distant mountains, nearby ridgelines and valleys, the Bay Delta, Suisun Bay, and San Francisco Bay; • Creates new recreation opportunities for hikers, dog walkers, cyclists, bird watchers, and equestrians; • Will delight generations of future visitors as they traverse hilly grasslands, oak-bay woodlands, scrub plant communities, and riparian ecosystems. A permanent legacy for all nature lovers in years to come.
Joan Morris, pets & wildlife columnist for the Bay Area News Group, asked her readers to consider supporting the campaign. They did! Here is a sampling of their heartwarming letters: I was moved by the articles that I read about supporting the acquisition of the Almond Ranch. It’s so important to expand and link the corridors for wildlife. Thank you for what you do.” Five generations of my family grew up in Martinez. The hills will always be dear to my heart.” Hope you get the Almond Ranch… Am 90 years old so I don’t think it will be for me, but my descendants will be using it (I’m sure) plus I love all animals. They desperately need a safe place.” It is important to preserve this open land. The wildlife keep the ecosystem in balance, we must provide a place for them to live.”
What Next? There is much to do. Donations are always welcome because new funds we receive and the hard work of volunteers will prepare trails at Almond Ranch for new traffic by foot, hoof, paw, and bicycle tire. Fences will come down. JMLT rangers are prepping the maintenance work needed to open the property safely for humans while ensuring minimal impact to wild residents. And, of course, we have our hopes set on other acquisitions. Please visit jmlt.org/donate.
I’m sending these few dollars to help with your goal. Our wild animals need their own space and there’s not too much left for them. Hope this helps!” The mission of the California Wildlife Conservation Board is to protect California’s spectacular natural resources for wildlife and for the public’s use and enjoyment. We allocate funds for high priority acquisition projects. Almond Ranch exemplifies the very special places we choose to protect, and John Muir Land Trust is precisely the sort of trusted partner we select. Permanently protecting Almond Ranch will be a huge win for everyone in California.” — John Donnelly, Executive Director, California Wildlife Conservation Board PAG E T H R E E

PACHECO MARSH UPDATE The restoration of Pacheco Marsh, located where the mouth of Walnut Creek meets Suisun Bay, is inspiring in so many ways. It is part of the greater effort to recover the marsh ecosystem that is vital to the health of the Bay. It is creating a low-impact opportunity for bird watchers and nature admirers to responsibly view wildlife in thriving natural habitat. And, it is a fascinating example of using natural technology—with its many attendant benefits— to solve the challenges of human communities.
Why So Important—Historical Context Generations ago, the Delta region and San Francisco Bay supported a vast ecosystem of upstream freshwater marshes and floodplains, and downstream salt water marshes and mudflats. These were vital stopovers for migrating birds along the Pacific flyway and critical pathways for migrating salmon, sturgeon, and steelhead—anadramous fish born in Sierra headwaters that live adult lives in the ocean until they return to natal streams to spawn and die. Marshes also functioned as the Bay’s natural system for filtering sediments and contaminants. In the past two centuries humans built levees and dikes, and they drained Bay and Delta marshes. This allowed arriving populations to create farmland, build homes, and establish towns and cities on riverbanks and along the shore of the Bay—all while protecting against high water and flooding. Throughout the 1800s and early 1900s this resulted in the loss of more than 90% of historic tidal wetlands around the Bay, and similar losses in the Delta. Twenty years ago, a group of top biologists and geomorphologists determined that in order to have a functional tidal marsh ecosystem (including the constituent habitats within that ecosystem such as mudflat, low marsh, high marsh, and adjacent uplands), the Bay Area needed at least 100,000 acres of wetlands—about half of what had existed historically. Their landmark publication Baylands Ecosystem Habitat Goals (baylandsgoals.org) became a rallying point for wetland restoration. The report was updated in 2015 to address climate change and the fact that sea level rise will drown restored marshes if we don’t supply them with more sediment and more transition zones so they can grow naturally upward and inland.
It’s All Here Pacheco Marsh is a microcosm for this larger story. Originally part of a flourishing marshland along Suisun Bay, the marsh was nurtured by periodic overflows from Walnut Creek.
The large Walnut Creek Watershed covers 146 square miles across the Diablo Valley and west side of Mount Diablo. The combined length of all creek channels and tributaries is 310 miles. In normal conditions, Walnut Creek flows at a rate of about 82 cubic feet of water per second, but in a serious “100-year” flood it would convey about 25,600 cubic feet of water per second past any given point (over 300 times the normal flow).

P ro te ct i n g t he p la ces that m ake the E as t Bay s peci al Pacheco Marsh bears scars of decades of industrial activity. It has been diked, drained, and partially filled with dredge spoils—thus blocking natural tidal flow from replenishing water and nutrients. The creek was artificially widened and redirected. In the 1950s, a large sanitary sewer outfall and road was built down the middle of the property. Its north end was used to offload sand mined in the Bay. In the 1980s, a 39-lot industrial subdivision was proposed for the site that would have permanently erased the possibility of habitat restoration. However, in the 1990s, the owners defaulted on their property taxes, and in 2001 the parcel was acquired for conservation.
A Bright Future Today, three partners are working closely to restore the marsh’s wildlife habitat and wetland activity: John Muir Land Trust, the Contra Costa County Flood Control District and the East Bay Regional Park District. Restoration has begun and planning for public access has been completed. Construction of public access features begins next. JMLT will be the long-term owner and steward of the property, and will manage public access. Biologists are recreating habitat for threatened bird species, marine invertebrates and coastal fish. Pacheco Marsh is home to ten special-status plant and animal species including the salt-marsh harvest mouse and the Black Rail—rarely-seen and on the list of avid bird-watchers. An increasingly sustainable creek will offer flood protection for nearby human communities while supporting plants and animals that call the marsh home. Opportunities for low-impact human recreation and visits will make Pacheco Marsh a favorite destination for outdoor enthusiasts and school groups eager to learn about our area’s ecosystems. Carefully constructed trails and paths for daytime human visitors will provide up-close views of each aspect of the marsh ecosystem while protecting the property’s full-time residents. There will be interpretive signs, bird blinds, and elevated walkways. Visitors will marvel at the stunning contrast of thriving habitat surrounded by a stark industrial backdrop. The towers of oil refineries rise nearby while enormous tankers pass underneath the parallel spans of the Benicia-Martinez Bridge to the north. The entire history of the shoreline can be experienced in this one remarkable place.
Overall Progress Great progress in Bay restoration has taken place in the past twenty years. There now exist more than 50,000 acres of tidal marshes in various stages of restoration. This is a generations-long process as it takes decades for natural systems to recreate a wetland once work has begun. Most encouragingly, huge progress was made when Measure AA passed with 69 percent of the vote in the primary election of 2016. Voters approved a $12 annual parcel tax in all nine Bay Area counties to create a stable revenue source ($500 million over the next 20 years) for restoring wetland and wildlife habitat, reducing trash and pollution, improving water quality, increasing public access, and safeguarding against coastal flooding. Pacheco Marsh is slated to receive a $1 million lead grant from Measure AA funds.
What’s Next? JMLT will soon launch a fundraising campaign to install appropriate features to open the site to the public. The goal is to enthrall human visitors while maintaining our first priority of protecting the non-human residents. Stay tuned for details, or give us a headstart at jmlt.org/donate.

The number of acres the JMLT community has saved atop Franklin Ridge. Almond Ranch joins six other acquisitions that comprise a vital wildlife corridor, connect trails of regional importance, and extend the public lands around the homesite of John Muir himself. We’ve been working here for thirty years, and there is more to do. Stay tuned.
This spring JMLT helped the City of Lafayette acquire the 20-acre Batwing property, thus achieving nearly half of the 44-acre goal for new parkland specified in the city’s general plan. We’ve begun the search for more.
4 1 Million
The number of petals on the California Poppy. The state flower delightfully welcomes spring each year when it blooms along the slopes of Painted Rock. You helped JMLT acquire this beloved landmark in Lamorinda, and it will soon anchor a 505-acre public open space offering miles of trails and unrivaled views of Mount Diablo and the surrounding hills.
In dollars, the contributions made by you and your neighbors to acquire and protect 281-acre Almond Ranch. We’ve been simply overwhelmed by your generosity. This property is so important that the East Bay Regional Park District contributed $1 million and the California Wildlife Conservation Board added $2 million. But, you got us across the finish line.

The average number of revisions we ask to see before finalizing a property design. Okay, that’s an exaggeration, but not by much. Our exceptionally talented designer, Meghan Mahler, has produced these designs for use on signs, in our materials, on our office walls, and even on coffee mugs. Her work is gorgeous. Thank you, Meghan!

Donor Spotlight Paul Craig and Kay Cox
It is with sadness that we reflect on the passing of Paul Craig this past April, but it is with great pleasure that we recall the remarkable life he shared with his wife Kay Cox, and the delightful impact Paul had on so many of us. Kay continues to delight with her active involvement in the JMLT community. John Muir Land Trust is a thriving organization today because early volunteers such as Kay and Paul guided the fledgling land trust with their boundless wisdom, enthusiasm, and generosity. Kay and Paul each served multiple terms as board members and officers. Kay was our second Board Chair, and Paul served for many years as a highly valued contributor to the stewardship and land acquisition committees. Have you had the experience of walking along a remote wilderness trail, seemingly miles from anyone else, only to round a bend and discover people ahead of you—people who, perfectly at home, just seem to belong there? That would aptly describe Kay and Paul—nature enthusiasts who met and fell in love on the John Muir Trail and who were never happier than when out exploring a new one. Paul was a brilliant academician, with a doctorate degree from Cal Tech and a distinguished career as a professor at UC Davis. But he is perhaps best remembered for his kind and humanitarian spirit and the infectious joy he found in sharing the outdoors with others. Striding tall in his trademark tam o’ shanter, Paul was a welcome fixture on the streets of Martinez where, as a talented artist, he left us beautiful sculptures such as those adorning the western wall of the downtown library. He especially loved nearby Fernandez Ranch, where Paul’s Peak is named in his honor. We miss Paul deeply. The JMLT community is enriched by the continued involvement of Kay, his sister, Maria Craig, his children Chris Craig and Sara Davison, and their wonderful families. Our work in conservation is gratefully endowed by a generous donation left by Paul’s estate to the JMLT legacy program. Thanks to generous legacy gifts such as that left by Paul Craig, JMLT is honored to protect the places that are dear to East Bay residents. PAG E N I N E

TWILIGHT KEEPS GETTING BIGGER!
Our annual summer event, Twilight At Fernandez Ranch, is attracting more people as word spreads about how much fun it is for the whole family. This year kids of all ages got their faces painted, examined the world from tortoise’s viewpoint, gazed at a night sky untouched by city lights, enjoyed an outdoor concert, ate ice cream, pet llamas, got hugged by a snake, and romped and roamed in the beautiful evening setting of Fernandez Ranch. Be sure to come next August and bring your neighbors!

FIRE
SAFETY CONTROLLED BURN ON PAINTED ROCK
JMLT’s ongoing stewardship of our properties includes taking many precautions to minimize the risk of fire. The fires and power outages of the past season have made this concern top-of-mind for all Bay Area residents. Fire itself can be an efficient tool for managing land and protecting the safety of local communities. On June 29, 2019 the Moraga-Orinda Fire District (MOFD), in close partnership with other Bay Area fire departments and John Muir Land Trust, conducted a prescribed controlled burn along the eastern slope of newly acquired Painted Rock. A crew of 30 firefighters burned overgrown brush and shrubs in order to greatly reduce the risk of future wildfires under the watchful eye of Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Dennis Rein. MOFD Fire Chief Dave Winnacker described it as a textbook exercise. Required permits, planning, and notifications were completed well in advance. Early in the morning crews evaluated the weather and air quality, and then conducted a small test fire to determine how fast fire would travel that day and how much vegetation could be burned at one time. By late morning MOFD Battalion Chief Steve Gehling approved the test results and the full burn began. Passersby likely did double-takes as firefighters poured a mixture of diesel fuel and gasoline onto the brush and then allowed the flames to grow. A bulldozer cleared trails so that fire engines and water tankers could get anywhere they might be needed. Once it became clear that the “safety strip”–an incinerated black path–could hold off the oncoming fires, crews removed large chunks of vegetation and moved down the hill. By mid-afternoon the fire had run its course and a 5-acre, 1,100 foot strip was completely charred. There was no negative impact to wildlife. More info and video of second burn: jmlt.org/paintedrock
We can use this tool to make the community safer, the black part of that hill will not burn the rest of this year. — Steve Gehling, MOFD Battalion Chief

JMLT IS A CALIFORNIA NONPROFIT OF THE YEAR You received a prestigious award this year! We—JMLT supporters, volunteers, board members, and staff—were honored by state senators and assemblymembers on June 5th. Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan stated, “I am very proud to name today John Muir Land Trust as the 16th Assembly District’s 2019 Nonprofit of the Year. The Trust is being recognized specially today in Sacramento by the State Assembly during California Nonprofits Day for its remarkable accomplishments in protecting our District’s extraordinary natural resources. Since its founding 30 years ago, the Trust has worked tirelessly to protect thousands of acres of open space lands in our District, permanently preserving ranchland, farms, parkland, and shoreline. The Trust’s mission helps California in our quest for cleaner air, more abundant water supplies, ensuring critical habitat for wildlife, and mitigating the impacts of climate change. It has become one of the leading forces for conservation in Northern California.” The JMLT community is deeply humbled to be recognized for this work.
