OVERVIEW
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 thousands of acres of wetland being removed from northwest Indiana. Wetland provides numerous ecosystem services including habitat for rare plants, waterfowl and other life forms. Therefore, it is desired to restore historic wetland to Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.


STATEMENT OF JOINT OBJECTIVES/PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
Work efforts will focus on restoration and enhancement of approximately 300 acres. Objectives of the work effort are eradication of invasive species and establishment of native plant assemblages.

RECIPIENT INVOLVEMENT
The youth team will conduct habitat management activities associated with wetland restoration actions. Wetland restoration work will include plant propagation, plant installation, seed collection and site preparation. Site preparation work will include herbicide applications and the use of tools and operating equipment such as hand saws, loppers, pruners, sprayers, and brush cutters to remove undesirable plants.


NATIONAL PARK SERVICE INVOLVEMENT
