Thursday, April 5, 2007, was Butterflies Are Free Day at Edgewood County
Park and Natural Preserve, California, to celebrate the reintroduction of the
Bay Checkerspot Butterfly. It's a case of "drive-by extinction". Nitrogen
pollution from cars on I-280 fertilized invasive Italian ryegrass, which choked
out the butterfly's native food plants and literally drove this threatened
species to local extinction. Learn more about how the Creekside Center for
Earth Observation helped to restore the butterfly's habitat from the KQED
QUEST photo essay of April 6, 2006.
February 15, 2007, the Bay Checkerspot Butterfly was reintroduced to
Edgewood County Park, California, where this threatened species had gone
locally extinct. The Creekside Center for Earth Observation is leading the
effort to understand causes of extinction, restore habitat, and reestablish
viable populations. Read more from the San Francisco Chronicle front page
