    A juvenile Pigeon Guillemot recently released after rehabilitation perches on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean at Vandenberg Space Force Base, Calif., Aug. 6, 2025. The Vandenberg SFB environmental team works with conservation partners like Point Blue Conservation Science to track the success of seabird and shorebird species across the base to help guide habitat protection efforts. The Department of the Air Force has been monitoring special status plant and wildlife species at Vandenberg for several decades with launch-specific monitoring occurring since the early 1980’s. Vandenberg has a dedicated environmental team of more than 40 personnel continuing that monitoring process and surveying natural resource resilience.
