Save the Dunes is a renowned brand dedicated to protecting and advocating for the Indiana dunes, Lake Michigan, and the surrounding natural areas. With a rich history spanning over 70 years, Save the Dunes was founded in 1952 by Dorothy Buell and a group of local women, aimed at preserving the untouched dunes along the southern tip of Lake Michigan in Northwest Indiana. Their efforts have been instrumental in establishing the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, now recognized as a National Park, and expanding its size to over 15,000 acres.

The Indiana dunes region is a unique ecosystem boasting over 1,100 plant species, making it the national park with the highest density of plant biodiversity. However, the dunes face ongoing threats such as invasive species, water pollution, degraded habitats, and development pressures. Save the Dunes continues to protect and advocate for these cherished lands and waters, ensuring that future generations can access these special places.

To support their cause, Save the Dunes offers various resources, organizes events, and operates a shop where you can contribute to their mission. Join Save the Dunes in their vital work to safeguard this treasured natural landscape
