The biggest need for Friends of Nordhouse Dunes is volunteers. We work with the Forest Service staff to schedule regular volunteer events. Please follow us on social media for updates on upcoming events, or send us an email at friendsofnordhousedunes@gmail.com

Here’s what’s on the calendar right now:

Beach Clean Up Day
Saturday, May 23, 2026: 12:00 – 3:00 PM

Let’s show Nordhouse Dunes some love before the busy summer season. Meet at the Nurnberg trailhead at noon. Together we’ll hike about a mile out to the beach and focus on trash pick up and burying fire scars on the beach. Wear comfy clothes and sturdy shoes. Bring gloves if you have them—but we’ll have extra gloves to borrow. Supplies and snacks provided!
