A cooperative agreement is being offerred ONLY to members of the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Program Region(s): Californian/Colorado Plateau. Branch Memorial Park Management Area (BMPMA) is a significant outdoor recreation site on Edwards AFB.
The Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB) environmental program ensures military mission activities are conducted in compliance with all applicable environmental laws, regulations and policies with cooperation and assistance from the Air Force Civil Engineer Center's (AFCEC) Installation Support Section (ISS).
The Management Area encompasses approximately 75 acres, is rectangular in shape, and is centered on Branch Memorial Park Pond (BMPP), a six-acre constructed pond stocked for fishing. The site is also important for natural resources management, offering an oasis in the desert that provides nesting and foraging resources for migratory and resident birds, and aquatic and riparian habitat for many other plants and animals. Tricolored blackbirds (TRBL, Agelaius tricolor)—listed as threatened in California— nest in the pond’s vegetation. Mesquite bosques are located adjacent to BMPP.
Tasks include Habitat Sustainability, Park Management, Vegetation Maintenance, Wetland/Floodplain Management, and more.
