Join us for an evening of action in the heart of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, at North Bar Lake.
While North Bar is one of the most pristine inland lakes in the area, it is also prone to an abundance of trash. North Bar has a fluctuating outlet, and in the past few years it has failed to connect to Lake Michigan entirely, therefore during rough days on the big lake, plastics make their way over the sand into the outlet and trap themselves in the reeds around the inland lake.
As the heart of the lakeshore, North Bar Lake is home to a beautiful, fragile ecosystem – inhabited by various fish species, birds, turtles, and mammals. Plastic pollution is a threat to that vital ecosystem.
Join us at 5:30pm to hear from a Biologist with the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park Service about the importance of the ecosystem within North Bar Lake and stick around to pay tribute by doing a deep clean!
In partnership with the Northern Michigan Surfrider Chapter, FLOW, Friends of Sleeping Bear, Beth Price Photography and supported by Grocer’s Daughter Chocolate, and S’well. We will have heaps of awesome information, inspiration, and connections to make all on April 22nd at North Bar Lake. Come hang and let’s do some spring cleanin’!
