October 18 -- a milestone in the efforts to protect our nation's water 
resources -- presents an excellent opportunity to enhance public 
appreciation of our water resources, celebrate successes, build a better 
understanding of remaining challenges, and rekindle the stewardship 
ethic and support for watershed protection programs. Related sites:

Preserve the DUNES

A recent Michigan Court of Appeals ruling has stopped mining of a

Preserve the Dunes, who had filed the suit, is a grass roots, 
not-for-profit organization with an interest in preserving the state's 
sand dunes that are being destroyed by mining and threatened by 
development. Photo Chronology: http://www.daac.com/sosdunes/photos.html
