| | Save the Dunes |
 | | Since the Save the Dunes Council was founded in 1952, it has worked to create a National Lakeshore (1966), then to enlarge and protect it from such encroachments, as a proposed jetport, a railroad yard, and a nuclear power plant. |
 | | New threats to the Dune's ecosystem are always emerging...among them the often invisible villains of air and water polution, toxic waste, landfills, and the filling and draining of wetlands. |
 | | The area's long sandy beaches, dunes, Beech-Maple forests, marshes and bogs are home to a rich variety of plants and animals from places as far-flung as the desert, prairie, Deep South and the Arctic. |
