We Are The Stewards of Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness Area
The Leave No Trace Spotlight Amphitheater program will provide an opportunity to learn more about Wilderness Character and the unique features that Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness Area provides as a resource with visitors. A history of the land and its formation begins the conversation following with the history of the Anishnaabe with Marie Richards, USFS Tribal Relations Specialist and tribal citizen of Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians. The discussion then arrives to present day with how Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness Area became a congressionally designated Wilderness Area of the USFS. This program will focus on adding public understanding of what Wilderness Character is and why it is significant at Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness Area. Participants will be engaged to leave with a deeper understanding of how we, as stewards, are responsible in preserving this character for future generations to enjoy. The program will conclude with Leave No Trace and USFS staff available for a short question and answer session after the discussion.
