Statements of significance describe why an area is important within a global, national, regional, and systemwide context. These statements are linked to the purpose of the park unit, and are supported by data, research, and consensus. Significance statements describe the distinctive nature of the park and inform management decisions, focusing efforts on preserving and protecting the most important resources and values of the park unit. • The Apostle Islands archipelago contains scientifically important geologic features, including a highly diverse and stunningly beautiful array of coastal landforms that retain a high degree of ecological integrity. • Shaped and isolated by Lake Superior and located where northern hardwoods and boreal forests meet, the islands of the park sustain rare communities, habitats, and species of plants and animals. Some of these communities are remnants of ancient forests, providing a rare glimpse into the past. • The Apostle Islands are the traditional home of the Ojibwe people and integral to their culture. They have used the natural resources of the Apostle Islands area for centuries to sustain their way of life, and continue to do so today.

Professor! "How many pages do I have to write in order to complete a Master's thesis project?" "Whatever it takes." "Is that all?" As pages began to accumulate in this project I realized the true impact of those words. For the last 2 years this project has been my life and work, but is not my work alone. In truth the project involved a collabora­ tion of minds that guided, advised, counseled and provided technical expertise when needed. Many thanks to Dr. Mike Gross, Dr. Randy Champeau, Mr. Ron Zimmerman, and Dr. Richard Geesey for their time and commitment in reviewing, editing, and commenting on the work. Their expertise and knowledge in effective environmental education and interpretation is found throughout the document. Also many thanks to the entire 1985 permanent and seasonal staff at the Apostle Islands National Lake­ shore. Not only was I provided with a place to live, but was made to feel welcome. In addition many workers went out of their way to transport me to islands or to locate an obscure government document. These indivi­ duals include: Jim Mack, . Chief Naturalist, Diane Keller, Assistant Chief Naturalist, Brent McGinn, Sea­ sonal District Ranger, Bill Ferraro, Chief Ranger Susan Brainard-Nelson, Seasonal Naturalist, Lydia Ferraro, Boat Operator, and Susan Monk, Park Historian.
