Our broad mission is to preserve, restore, and expand the public lands in and around Ludington State Park, Manistee National Forest, and Nordhouse Dunes Federal Wilderness, especially related to the sand dunes portions of these public lands, and the related wildlands contiguous with them.

Our specific mission focuses on conservation related to the Ludington Dunes. The Ludington Dunes are the southern half of the Big Sable Dune Complex; the northern half is the Nordhouse Dunes.

Our mission is further to encourage wise stewardship of these lands, including their use principally for recreation, education, and sustainable development of the spectacular and irreplaceable natural resource represented by the Ludington Dunes.
