restore and protect the environment of the Indiana Dunes.
Among its activities the Conservation Fund has restored
a foredune on Gary's Lake Michigan shoreline, has assisted
the Minority Health Coalition of LaPorte County on projects
in the area of a Superfund site, and has worked with teachers,
individuals, and agencies to monitor the health of local
streams and waterways.
