Michigan’s coastal dune system is a natural wonder. Spanning nearly 300 miles of Lake Michigan and Lake Superior shoreline, it contains landforms, vegetation and climate found nowhere else on the planet. The Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s Critical Dune Area Program works to protect the diversity, quality and function of Michigan’s dunes from many threats, including invasive species. Join EGLE’s Zach Chamberlin to learn about the types of invasive species found in dune systems, their impacts, and how EGLE works to protect dunes from invasive species through the Critical Dune Area permitting program. 

 

Accommodations Deadline: Individuals needing language assistance or accommodations for effective participation should contact Joel Roseberry at RoseberryJ@Michigan.gov 2 weeks prior to request language, mobility, visual, hearing, translation, and/or other assistance.
