My Story

I am a proud Board Member and supporter of Save the Boundary Waters. Through my time working at YMCA of the North in youth development programming, I saw the profound impacts a nature-based experience in the BWCA has on young people. Spending time in and around the BWCA has been a highlight of living and growing up in Minnesota for me, and I so firmly believe in stewarding this land for generations to come.

I am running to support the campaign, and raise awareness for permanent protection, particularly in light of the recently passed HJR 140 by Stauber.

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.
