Here are some suggestions from The Concerned Citizens for Saugatuck Dunes State Park website (www.saugatuckdunes.org)
Make Your Voice Heard!
- There are a number of ways you can assist in protecting Saugatuck Dunes State Park. Perhaps the most important is to contact your political representatives. Call and write Laketown Township officials, the Allegan County Commissioners, Holland City Council members, our State Representatives and State Senator, as well as officials at the DNR. Write letters to the newspapers.
- pay close attention to these letters and to newspaper editorials. According to the Sierra Club’s activist network, letters are preferable to phone calls. Faxes and Emails are least effective. But do whatever you can!
