Protect the Indiana Dunes

For more than 70 years, Save the Dunes has been a leading force in protecting the natural heritage of Northwest Indiana. Your gift helps protect the Indiana Dunes, Lake Michigan, and the surrounding natural areas for the health of our environment and the communities that live, work, and recreate here.

As an official partner of the Indiana Dunes National Park, we work to preserve land, restore habitat, and expand public access so more people can experience the beauty and biodiversity of the dunes.

Every contribution helps safeguard these landscapes for future generations.

Your support makes our work possible to:

  • Protect and conserve land throughout the Indiana Dunes region
  • Restore critical dune, wetland, and woodland habitats
  • Advocate for responsible development and environmental protections
  • Connect people to nature through education and community engagement
