In the background you can see the encroaching distribution centers of Fremont. Thankfully this little patch is preserved as part of the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. It's sensitive habitat generally closed to the public... but you can sign up for an occasional guided walk with specialists from the Refuge. Humans are excluded, but cattle can be seen grazing there, carefully managed to munch on the European grasses that otherwise would overwhelm the native forbs that used to thrive in these marginal lands.
