Whitefish Dunes State Park
Who Saves the Dunes?

Protecting the park's dune ecosystems is vitally important. In this "hands on" and "minds on" activity, students will build a sand dune to discover how different forces affect the sand. Then, they'll investigate the positive and negative impacts that humans have on the dunes and role-play to create a solution to a related issue.
