Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes... helping to preserve and restore the natural, cultural, historical, and recreational resources of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.
The Friends work in co-operation with the National Park Service by raising funds through donations and grants and by volunteering time and skills to complete a long list of projects proposed by the Park Management. Explore their web site at to learn more about the organization. They are always looking for more people who share their desire to make Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore even better. You can join from their web site, then come to one of our meetings and meet some new people while enjoying the beauty and history of the Northern Michigan lakeshore.
The Friends meet once each month from April through October. They operate the Adopt-A-Trail program for the park, so if you are interested in helping keep hiking trails in good shape, let them know. Also, the group raises money through grants and donations to fund projects that enhance the quality of our Park. The Friends group is the primary sponsor of the Port Oneida Fair (first weekend in August), which highlights the cultural heritage of this rural farm land.
