June 28 - Coastal Hazards & Inland Flooding
We will visit McLain State Park, Great Sand Bay, and Hungarian Falls to explore how climate impacts are affecting coastal erosion and increased flood hazard in the Keweenaw. Also learn about mitigation plans and resources to know more about the hazards in the place that we live
