INDIANA DUNES NATIONAL PARK: Join a ranger and Marc Milne, from the University of Indianapolis, on Saturday, Nov. 23, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the Paul H Douglas Center. Following a 45-minute presentation at the Douglas Center, everyone will hike to the research site within the park to learn firsthand about scientific research taking place within the park.
Scientific research helps park managers make important decisions when caring for our parks. We will explore our own ideas about science and learn about scientific investigations going on within the Great Lakes’ national parks.
The Indiana Dunes Visitor Center is located at 1215 North State Road 49, about one mile north of Interstate 94.
