Lake Michigan is the only Great Lake located entirely within the United States, but we know that watersheds don't stop at the border! Lake Michigan is also home to the largest freshwater sand dunes in the world.

Nearly 30% of participants from our Road Salt Pollution - Public Perception and Awareness Survey were unaware of the environmental impacts of road salts on aquatic ecosystems.

It’s time to change that.

Meet the Pickerel Frog (Lithobates palustris)!

These leopard-looking amphibians are found in wetlands, lakes, and ponds across southern Canada. They feed on a wide variety of insects, spiders, and other small invertebrates.
