New Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore management plan

 Sleeping Bear Dunes by ojoyous1The Leelanau Enterprise has a feature on the new Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore General Management Plan:

Contained within a 300-page document that will outline how the National Park Service proposes to govern Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore for the next 20 or so years will be a compromise.

Lakeshore assistant superintendent Tom Ulrich is hopeful the proposed General Management Plan (GMP) strikes a balance between preservationists and recreation users, between visitors and residents — basically somewhere in a middle ground of management that all who love the Lakeshore can embrace, or at least accept.

More on the Park's General Management Plan from the NPS.
