The Ours to Protect project is a regional event series aiming to combat the federal agenda that threatens the people & places we love. This event will focus on our work protecting Michigan’s Critical Dunes—which are not only part of the iconic scenery of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, but are also globally-rare.

As the federal administration defunds our national parks and aligns itself with corporate interests that put development first, it’s up to us to ensure our dunes are stewarded and protected from dangerous pollution that threatens the wildlife, ecosystems and tourism industry that are critical to our state.

Our partners at Michigan Environmental Council are leading the effort to ban the use of plastic-wrapped sandbags on Lake Michigan’s coast; protect endangered wildlife like Piping Plovers; and hold corporate polluters accountable.

We invite you to join us and learn what's being done to hold the line on state protections and how you can help.
