Episode Details

Where nature meets industry at Indiana Dunes National Park, a wild haven sandwiched between Lake Michigan and steel mills, where families build sandcastles beside refineries and biodiversity thrives despite pollution threats. Once scarred by 20th-century manufacturing, this protected land—now a national park since 2020—hosts over 350 bird species and millions of visitors annually. A new “Sand + Steel” campaign celebrates coexistence, but environmentalists warn vigilance is still essential to shield this fragile ecosystem from industrial spills and encroachment.
