Travis Air Force Base is a part of the Greater Jepson Prairie Ecosystem. It is the habitat of the Contra Costa goldfields, an endangered spring annual that typically flourishes from March through June. The goldfield germinates with the first rains and remains underwater as a seedling while the vernal, pools, or seasonal ponds, are inundated. As the pools dry out, the goldfields resume growth, forming golden rings and patches around pools.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife describes vernal pools as depressions in areas with a hard underground layer that prevents rainwater from draining downward into the subsoils. Rain fills the pools during the wet season and remains in the depressions until spring when the water gradually evaporates. There are more than 800 areas with vernal pool and wetland features covering approximately 81 acres on base, and it is estimated that approximately 10 percent of the planet's population of Contra Costa goldfields makes its home at Travis. Celebrate Earth Day with us as we highlight this special ecosystem, and as always, do your part to leave no trace!
