The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has renewed its efforts to restore the dunes at Antioch Dunes National Wildlife Refuge in Contra Costa County. The 40-year old refuge, the first in the country created to protect endangered insects and plants, is the only known natural habitat of the Lange's Metalmark Butterfly, the Antioch Dunes Evening Primrose, and the Contra Costa Wallflower.
