Welcome to the lake front you never knew!

Lake Michigan. One of the largest fresh water lakes in the world and an engine that has driven, and in some cases still does, the growth of its many surrounding communities. Lake Michigan is also home to a tremendous diversity of wildlife both within its waters and on its coasts. For most of us in the Chicago region a free and public lake front has more or less always been there and we tend to take it for granted. On top of this the dominant habitat type, dunes, are popularly percieved as just big heaps of sand. This blog is about that slice of Chicago Wilderness which is Lake Michigan and the wonderful gifts of nature it contains both just beyond the waterfront and beneath the surf.

If you've been to any of these locations or would like to recommend/request a location for me to go and check out, please do speak up and comment on any post!

Alright, Let's Go!

3/29/11

Hello everyone,

This is the introductory post and my first blog post!

I'll be posting shortly after every trip I take out to the Indiana Dunes National Park or any other lakefront natural area/park. For the next three months or so, as my school schedule allows, I'll be taking trips and writing about it on a weekly basis. After which the schedule changes, so we'll see what happens...

Anyway, I hope you'll find these posts convey as much information, excitement, and joy as I experience while in the field, and that you'll enjoy reading them as much as I do writing them.

Sincerely,

Edward Warden
