Become a Member

Save the Dunes members are the heartbeat of our organization whose generosity has funded decades of projects to preserve the Indiana dunes, Lake Michigan and the surrounding natural areas. Your gift will help us continue to protect the dunes and support the national park now and for future generations. 

Your Membership Dollars at Work

Membership provides critical funding for our work in land preservation and habitat restoration and to improve public access to the dunes as we connect people and the surrounding communities to Indiana’s most precious natural resource. Membership also supports our advocacy efforts and gives us legal standing in court to defend the Indiana dunes and Lake Michigan from a variety of threats. 

Our secure online form makes it easy to become a member. For those who prefer to join by mail, please contact Office Manager, Amber Seiler, at amber@savedunes.org or 219-879-3564 ext. 121. Checks may be mailed to Save the Dunes at 444 Barker Rd. Michigan City, IN, 46360.

Volunteer in the Dunes

The Indiana Dunes are made up of sand grains that are mainly composed of the mineral quartz.

Quartz is the same mineral that is in glass, and the sand grains create an interesting sound when you walk on it, called “singing sands.”There are few other places in the world that have singing sands, including Dubai and Japan.
