Antioch Dunes is the only unit of the National Wildlife Refuge system in Contra Costa County.  It was set aside for two plants and a butterfly; Contra Costa Wallflower, Antioch Dunes Evening Primrose and Lang’s Metalmark Butterfly.  The refuge is in two properties.  The second Saturday of every month a docent leads the public around the Stamm Unit.

Learn history of the refuge, see some of the biology and walk on access roads around the dunes during a one-hour walk, sometimes a little longer.
