SUMMARY:Lake Michigan Coastal Dunes: History\, Science\, and Protection
DESCRIPTION:The coastal sand dunes along Lake Michigan are the largest assemblage of freshwater dunes in the world. This session explores how dunes were formed\, why they matter ecologically\, their historical significance in our state\, and state laws related to them. \nLearn about dunes that were once here such as Pigeon Hill\, and the stories of how our dunes have been used – and sometime overused – in the past. Participants will also learn how significant these dunes are\, and what we can do to care for these remarkable places into the future. \nFree for members and Muskegon county residents\, $5 for out-of-county. \nRegister here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/lake-michigan-coastal-dunes-history-science-and-protection \nThis activity is supported by Muskegon Conservation District and the MICHIGAN ARTS AND CULTURE COUNCIL and the NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS. \n
