My Story
Every summer, my daughter heads into the Boundary Waters with Camp Menogyn to camp and portage with her peers. She leaves behind screens, noise, and distractions for adventure and connection to one of America’s last truly wild places.
The Boundary Waters is a sanctuary of clean water, wildlife, and life-changing adventure that shapes future stewards of our natural world. Protecting it means preserving not only its pristine lakes and forests, the wildlife that call it home, but also the unforgettable experiences that it gives to its vistors.
Camp Menogyn has been transforming young lives through wilderness experiences on the edge of the Boundary Waters for generations, and I hope many more generations will be able to continue to experience the magic of the Boundary Waters.
Description
The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) is an undeveloped 1.1 million-acre federal and state-recognized Wilderness Area. It is an expanse of lakes, rivers, and forests in the Superior National Forest, located along the Minnesota-Canada border, that has been protected by statute and international treaty for more than a century. This is the sixth most critical region in the lower 48 to protect for climate resiliency and contains 20% of all the freshwater in the entire National Forest System. The water in the Boundary Waters is so clean, you can dip your cup and drink straight from the lake.
Save the Boundary Waters is the locally-based, national campaign led by Northeastern Minnesotans for Wilderness based in Ely, Minnesota dedicated to permanently protecting America’s most beloved Wilderness Area – the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
