Students will compare the biotic and abiotic factors of a forest and a dune ecosystem, enabling them to discover why the dunes are a challenging, yet unique ecosystem. Students will also learn that animals and plants have developed adaptations that help them live or travel through the dunes.
This program is facilitated along a section of the Sleeping Bear Point Trail.
Field trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes are free! However, you must schedule your field trip at least two weeks in advance. Our calendar fills up fast, so please plan ahead. Review our field trip planning page for more logistical information.
