AA. TTHHEE MMAARRQQUUEETTTTEE GGRREEEENNWWAAYY PPLLAANNAs of 2006, about one third of the 43 mile long Indiana shoreline on LakeMichigan is in public ownership, principally in the the Indiana Dunes NationalLakeshore and the Indiana Dunes State Park. The Marquette Greenway Planis a comprehensive vision to provide public access to up 75 percent of theshoreline by means of pedestrian and bike trails. The Portage LakefrontPark, between Ogden Dunes and Burns Waterway, is the first major project.It is being created by a partnership between the City of Portage and theNational Park Service, with assistance from the U.S. Steel Corporation, theSave the Dunes Council and others.

BB.. MMAARRQQUUEETTTTEE PPAARRKK LLAAGGOOOONNSSHabitat reconstruction and improved public access are the goals of therestoration plan for the Marquette Park lagoons, the headwaters of the GrandCalumet River in Gary. Park visitors will be able to fish and canoe in thelagoons as well as swim on the Lake Michigan beach. The Miller Woodssection of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore that borders the westernlagoon is already home to a thriving beaver colony and diverse nativevegetation. The eastern lagoon area will link with the Gary Green Link trailsystem around the city to provide connections to significant inland sites.

CC.. GGRRAANNDD CCAALLUUMMEETT RRIIVVEERRBefore the Clean Water Act, 90 percent of the Grand Calumet River flow wasindustrial effluent. With new pollution controls, cleanup of leftovercontaminated sediments is underway. U.S. Steel has cleaned the easternfive miles. The western reach will be dredged with $58 million of a NaturalResource Damage Assessment settlement by eight companies underanother law. Restoration along the river will be carried out by the IndianaDepartment of Natural Resources, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers andthe cities of Hammond, East Chicago, and Gary in consultation withresidents. Other voluntary restoration projects are being carried out bycompanies such as BP and DuPont with assistance from the Wildlife HabitatCouncil, an industry-supported conservation organization.

DD.. LLIITTTTLLEE CCAALLUUMMEETT RRIIVVEERR AANNDD HHOOBBAARRTT MMAARRSSHHThe Little Calumet River Flood Control Project includes levees with setbacksthat will provide natural habitat for wildlife and recreational trails. Funds tocompensate for damage to natural areas are also expanding restoration inthe nearby Hobart Marsh area. A total of almost 1000 acres of connectedwetlands, the largest surviving black earth prairie in the state, and woodlandsare being accumulated with private, local, state, and federal funding. Longterm management will depend on partnerships and cooperation betweenpublic and private agencies and committed volunteers.

EE.. HHOOOOSSIIEERR PPRRAAIIRRIIEEThe 500-acre Hoosier Prairie Nature Preserve near Griffith is still beingexpanded around a core area that Irene Herlocker-Meyer first recognized inthe 1960s as a natural prairie that had escaped development. The ongoingrestoration depends on nearby towns, conservation organizations, andvolunteers who care about the 574 species of plants, numerous breedingand migratory birds, deer, coyotes, mink, frogs, turtles, salamanders,butterflies, and insects that live there. Local fire departments help managethe carefully controlled fires that are necessary to maintain the biodiversity.

FF.. GGRRAANNDD KKAANNKKAAKKEEEE MMAARRSSHHNearly 15 percent of Indiana’s original wetlands were located along theKankakee River in Grand Kankakee Marsh, one of the most important areasfor migrating waterfowl in North America before it was drained for farmland.A coalition of more than 30 organizations, led by Ducks Unlimited, the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service, the Lake County Parks and RecreationDepartment, and Jim Sweeney of the Izaak Walton League organized to seekrestoration in the early 1990s. Although a proposal for a new national wildliferefuge was set aside, Hog Marsh and other areas are being restored withfunding under the North American Wetlands Conservation Act and a 640-acre land donation by the Northern Indiana Public Service Company.

GG.. CCOOFFFFEEEE CCRREEEEKK WWAATTEERRSSHHEEDD PPRREESSEERRVVEEThe 167-acre preserve near Chesterton was created on land donated by adeveloper, the Lake Erie Land Company, and several conservation groupsled by the Save the Dunes Council. With removal of accumulated debris andrestored hydrology, the creek supports a thriving cold water biologicalcommunity that includes wetlands and a habitat for grassland birds. Awatershed management plan assures maintenance of the restoration. Thenot-for-profit Coffee Creek Conservancy District is managed by a board ofdirectors that includes representatives of the Chesterton High Schoolenvironmental club, the Indiana Wildlife Federation, and several other groups.

HH.. TTRRAAIILL CCRREEEEKK AANNDD SSTTRRIIEEBBEELL PPOONNDDMichigan City is successfully combining restoration of natural habitat withnew nature trails and parkland, better sewage treatment, and improvedstormwater management along Trail Creek, a tributary to Lake Michigan. Inanother part of town, restoration of wetlands and the construction of StriebelPond have eliminated the need for local residents to buy flood insurance.The wetlands and pond have also served as a new home for blue herons, atleast one reported loon, and an abundance of native trees, grasses, andwildflowers. Management will include trail and picnic area maintenance,prevention of invasion by non-native species, and increased biodiversity.

II.. AAMMBBLLEERR FFLLAATTWWOOOODDSSAmbler Flatwoods is Indiana’s largest protected area of woodlands andcontains 250 ferns and numerous other native species, including 50 that areusually found in northern boreal forests. The Indiana Department of NaturalResources identified the importance of the area in the 1980s, but as of 1999,it became one of five state-dedicated nature preserves protected by theprivate Shirley Heinze Land Trust. Often in partnership with the IndianaChapter of The Nature Conservancy, the Heinze Trust acquires and restoresnatural areas in all three shoreline counties of Northwest Indiana.

JJ.. GGRREEAATT MMAARRSSHHBefore being drained for agriculture and residential development in the late19th and early 20th centuries, the Great Marsh extended behind the dunesof all three lakeshore counties. With help from the Heinze Trust, the IndianaDunes National Lakeshore is now restoring its natural hydrology in theBeverly Shores area. This is creating more habitat for birds such as thepileated woodpecker and frogs, whose spring clamor has declined in recentyears. Management requires ongoing removal of invasive species such aspurple loosestrife and the phragmites reed that crowd out native plants.

WWhhaatt iiss RReessttoorraattiioonn??Restoration of a natural area means restoring the character and normal functions of a damaged area and also

preserving what has not already been lost. The overall goal is to create a sustainable habitat for plants, animals, birds,and other living creatures that are native to the area. Restoration to the condition that existed before settlement anddevelopment is nearly impossible, but sustainable restoration can be achieved with ongoing stewardship to preventinvasion by exotic species, destruction of native species, new damage by pollution, and interference with naturaldrainage.

WWhhyy iiss RReessttoorraattiioonn NNeecceessssaarryy??In time, nature can usually restore damage to natural areas caused by storms, fires, and other natural processes. Nature usually needs help, however, to restore

damage caused by human activities, whether they are deliberate or accidental. Some plant and animal species are only able to survive in the unique NorthwestIndiana woodlands, prairies, dunes, and rivers. If these areas are permanently destroyed, then the creatures which inhabit them may become extinct as well.Furthermore, efforts to restore natural areas have increased with realization that loss of wildlife and natural areas diminishes the quality of life for people.

HHooww DDooeess RReessttoorraattiioonn HHaappppeenn??Restoration is successful when plants and animals survive and reproduce in the area. Making this happen is often

quite complicated. The first steps are to determine what kinds of plants and animals live there (or used tolive there) and to assess the climate, soil, and water sources. Expert knowledge and plenty of data are oftennecessary to accomplish this. Next, either permission must be obtained from a landowner or the targetedarea must be acquired by a new owner who wants to underake the restoration. In Northwest Indiana,restoration is almost always accomplished by partnerships and cooperation between public agencies andprivate organizations. After this, the actual restorative processes can begin. Sometimes, pollution control is oneof the first processes since it is required by environmental regulation, and the removal of pollution allows forthe establishment of healthy ecosystems. Full restoration of a natural area also requires that new pollution beprevented so that, for example, new accumulations of contaminated sediments cannot occur in the GrandCalumet River. Other restoration activities include the elimination of invasive species, the reintroduction of nativeplants and animals, the reconstruction of natural hydrology, and the renovation of manmade structures.
