Attend a Dune Acres Presentation on Ground Water and Ecology

The Dunes Acres Environmental Committee and the Ogden Dunes Environmental Advisory Board invite you to a presentation to be held Sunday, November 1 on ground water, ecology, Lake Michigan levels, and other events that can impact the flora of the Indiana Dunes. The meeting is being held at the Dune Acres Club House at 2:00 p.m. and is free. Refreshments will be served.

The featured speaker will be Dr. Noel B. Pavlovic, a research ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey, Great Lakes Science Center, stationed at the Lake Michigan Ecological Research Station in Porter, IN. He received his PhD in biological sciences from the University of Illinois at Chicago, an MSc. in ecology from the University of Tennessee, a Graduate Diploma in Science-Botany from the Australian National University, and B.Sc. from Earlham College. He has worked in the Indiana Dunes for 26 years and resides with his family on a 14,000 year old Glenwood Dune adjacent to the national park.

Dune Acres has shared some of the same challenges as Ogden Dunes with respect to high ground water and invasive species issues.

The Dune Acres Clubhouse is an interesting landmark to visit. Located on Clubhouse Dr. on one of the highest points in Town, it was built of logs and originally opened in 1926. To get there, enter Dune Acres and continue up the main road. Clubhouse Dr. is the second street on the right.
