The Sleeping Bear

Long ago, in the land that is today Wisconsin, Mother Bear and her two cubs were driven into Lake Michigan by a raging forest fire. The cubs swam strongly but the distance and the water proved too much for them. They fell further and further behind and ultimately slipped beneath the waves. When Mother Bear reached the Michigan shore, she climbed to the top of a bluff and peered back across the water, searching vainly for her cubs. The Great Spirit saw her and took pity on her plight. He raised North and South Manitou Islands to mark the place where her cubs vanished and laid a slumber upon Mother Bear. -Ojibway Indian Legend

Dune Erosion Due to –lack of plants/trees –human activity –bad weather

Dune erosion Which direction will this dune move? How to stabilize this dune? windward leeward wind

You can help protect the dunes by: staying on paths, not littering, by leaving plants and wildlife in place
