Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore (INDU) is a park unit along the southern boundary of Lake Michigan in Indiana, USA. An inventory of 19 sites, consisting of a seep, 12 streams, four marshes, a bog, and a fen were ex- amined for mayflies (Ephemeroptera), stoneflies (Plecoptera), and caddisflies (Trichoptera) (EPT taxa).

The plan accomplishes this task by: a. focusing interpretive efforts on a site-specifi c theme b. identifying needs for guided and self-guided interpretation, and c. recommending actions to fi ll those needs. The process of developing interpretive recommendations considers three components: a. Resource. What are the natural and cultural resources of the site.? b. Visitor. Who are the current users? What are the untapped audiences? c. Agency. What is the mission of the agency? What are the management goals within the agency? Other regional interpretive experiences and partnerships are incorporated to stretch staff and fi nances, foster cooperation and prevent competition. Several factors make the plan important for Indiana Dunes State Park: • In 2016, Indiana State Parks will be celebrating its 100th birthday. • The Indiana Dunes Nature Center opened int 1990. Most of the exhibits have been unchanged and are showing their age. • Indiana Dunes is unique from other parks. Recommendations need to refl ect: 1. Most of the park’s visitors are day use only.

  • Indiana Dunes Ecosystem Alliance Framework
    Indiana Dunes Ecosystem Alliance Strategic Framework Written by Save the Dunes Conservation Fund In partnership with the National Park Service – Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, Indiana Department of Natural Resources, United States Geological Survey, The Nature Conservancy, Shirley Heinze Land Trust, National Parks Conservation Association, and the Northern Indiana Public Service Company. This project was made possible by a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Lake Michigan Coastal Program. 0 Introduction The Indiana dunes are situated in Northwest Indiana along the southern shore of Lake Michigan. Despite their name, the Indiana dunes are not limited to the shoreline and are home to a diverse range of habitats. The Indiana dunes are primarily comprised of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore (INDU), managed by the National Park Service (NPS); Indiana Dunes State Park (IDSP), managed by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR); and lands owned and managed by non-profit organizations such as Shirley Heinze Land Trust (SHLT) as well as municipalities and communities. The Indiana dunes are embedded within and intersected by a variety of land uses, such as industry, agriculture, residential communities, and utilities. Within this complicated landscape is one of the nation’s top ten most biodiverse national parks in the National Park System. The Indiana dunes are home to nearly 1,200 native plant species1, globally imperiled habitats, and state and federally endangered plant and wildlife, all within steps to a number of densely populated communities in Northwest Indiana. The urbanized and industrial setting of the Indiana dunes contributes to the prosperity, diversity, and quality of life in Northwest Indiana.

The exceptonal nature of ths area’s topography and resultng bologcal dversty attracted the attenton of scentfc and conservaton communtes by the turn of the 20th century. Ths apprecaton, coupled wth severe and ongong impact by industry to the southern Lake Mchgan dunes, sparked actvsm that ultmately contrbuted to the formaton of Indana Dunes Natonal Lakeshore (INDU) at the end of the 1960s. Today, INDU contans most of the last remanng intact duneland of the larger area. Archeologcal investgatons of the dunes area, startng wth avocatonal observatons some 100 years ago, have intensfed over recent decades as a result of park actvtes and research.

MS. in Archives Coloniales, Paris; pressmark, “Amérique, serie B, Canada, vol. 76, fol. 100.”] 1 From 1723–49, the minister of the marine (which included the bureau of the colonies), was Jean Freédeéric Phelypeaux, Comte de Maurepas.— Ed. Versailles , May 31, 1743. Monsieur —The report you made me in 1741 respecting what had passed between the Scioux and Renard Savages2 having led me to suspect that both would seek to join together, I wrote you in my despatch of April 20th of last year to neglect nothing to prevent so dangerous a union. Such suspicions are only too fully justified. In fact I see by a letter from Monsieur de Bienville,3 dated February 4th last, that the Sieur de Bertet, major commanding at Illinois4 has informed him that the voyageurs who had arrived from Canada the previous autumn had reported to him that the Scioux, not content with having broken the peace they themselves had gone to ask of you, had also induced the Renards to join them in a fresh attempt against the French, and that the Sakis not wishing to take part in this league had wholly separated themselves from the other tribes. 1 2 See Wis.
