My Story

I am fundraising to Save the Boundary Waters. This place has always held a special place in my heart since the first time I visited when I was 13. Since then I have been to the Boundary Waters 5 times with friends and family to cherish the natural beauty and solitude that can be found in its lakes and shores. As stewards to this land, we must fight to protect its beauty and maintain it for those that come after us. 

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.
