Boardwalk Interactions with a Lake Michigan Dune System
Boardwalk Interactions with a Lake Michigan Dune System by Gabe LePage, Bastian Bouman, Benjamin Johnson, Ryan Kiper, and Madison Smith FYRES: Dunes Research Report # 17 May 2015 Department of Geology, Geography and Environmental Studies Calvin College Grand Rapids, Michigan ABSTRACT Boardwalks enable visitors to enjoy dunes in a way that protects sensitive dune environments from human impacts, but a tension remains as a boardwalk itself alters a dune system. This study investigates how a boardwalk in Hoffmaster State Park, Michigan affects human interactions with a Lake Michigan coastal dune system. In autumn 2014, the boardwalk was mapped and the quality of its features assessed. Human impacts were investigated by documenting unmanaged trails and interviewing park staff. Ecological communities were mapped, and vegetation conditions near the trails were recorded. The boardwalk is part of a managed trail system connecting a visitor center with the beach; the boardwalk gives visitors access to a high dune lookout over Lake Michigan. The boardwalk ends at two viewing platforms and is worn but functional. A network of unmanaged trails indicate that people leave the boardwalk. The boardwalk and the unmanaged trails interrupt the ecological communities. The study results suggest that the boardwalk enables enjoyment of the dune and protects vulnerable environments, but it also affects the formation of unmanaged trails and influences dune processes. Understanding the spatial patterns of human interaction with the dune can inform the planning process as park staff work towards reconstructing the boardwalk in the next few years. INTRODUCTION Boardwalks provide people with experiences of fragile natural areas while simultaneously protecting vulnerable environments. -

On March 16, 2020, I issued an emergency order closing all City buildings to the public and sending a large portion of our workforce to work from home due to the COIVD-19 pandemic. We were faced with the same questions as the rest of the country: how to run a city while protecting our employees and our residents? City of Lansing employees showed up and continue to serve residents with integrity and professionalism. Our essential workers, the backbone of our City, washed their hands, masked up and went to work. Our police officers, firefighters, paramedics and EMT’s responded to tens of thousands of calls for service to aid our residents and keep them safe. Our Public Service staff completed more than 14 miles of road improvements, more than 1,200 tree trimming/removals and cleaned more than 66 miles of storm and sanitary sewer pipes. Ingham County Parks Millage funded work continued to maintain and improve the Lansing River Trail by resolving riverbank erosion near Moores Park that included fortifying the riverbank and repairing fencing. -
