Henry Chandler Cowles

Henry Chandler Cowles (1869-1939), also known as the “Father of Plant Ecology”, was an ecologist, botanist, conservationist and field teacher for the University of Chicago Botany Department. His work of many years led to the establishment of the Indiana Dunes State Park on August 25, 1916. This eventually grew and became the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore in 1966.
