DESCRIPTION:Lecture at Mt. Diablo Audubon Society: What Nitrogen Deposition Can Teach 
 Us About Birds, Butterflies, Native Plants, and the Future of 
 Conservation\n\nBrent Plater, Executive Director of the Wild Equity 
 Institute, will discuss the largely-unknown landscape of the Antioch Dunes. 
 The Antioch Dunes National Wildlife Refuge was created to protect extremely 
 rare insects, and remains the only wildlife refuge specifically created for 
 invertebrate conservation. An unforeseen problem threatens this dune 
 community: nitrogen deposition, driven by the proliferation of fossil-fuel 
 fired power plants around the dunes. If the rate of nitrogen deposition is 
 not arrested or mitigated, we may witness the extinction of the Lange’s 
 Metalmark Butterfly in the very near future. The Wild Equity Institute is 
 experimenting with new ways to build a stronger conservation and 
 environmental movement to protect the Antioch Dunes and hopefully will make 
 conservation movements stronger and more resilient in the process.\n\nMeet 
 at the Camellia Room, The Gardens at Heather Farm, 1540 Marchbanks Drive, 
 Walnut Creek, CA 94598\n\nThis lecture is part of the Mt. Diablo Audubon 
 Society monthly educational meeting. Visitors are always welcomed!\n\n
