Oak Savanna Restoration: Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is a National Park surrounded by an urban/industrial complex. In the mid twentieth century, actions to remove wetlands from the dunes adjacent to southern Lake Michigan which included lands of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore were initiated. These actions resulted in the loss and/or degradation of thousands of acres of Oak Savannah from northwest Indiana. Oak savannah ecosystems provide habitats for rare plants, waterfowl, insects and other life forms. Therefore, it is desired to restore historic oak savannah to Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.
