My Story
The Boundary Waters is under unprecedented threat. Join me to support Save the Boundary Waters and run a marathon. Okay, you don't have to do the running part - I'll take care of that. You can do the supporting part, the part that advocates for a pristine wilderness free of mining, dumping, and roads. As you may have noticed the US congress has voted that a Chilean mining conglomerate's copper mine is more important than a vital watershed. Save the Boundary Waters is constantly working to protect and promote this amazing slice of our rapidly disappearing wilderness.
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.
