My Story
Hello!
Thank you so much for considering donating to a cause I care deeply for. As someone who has lived in many places (currently the PNW), I have a love for outdoor recreation and our environment. Between running, hiking, and swimming, I've felt immense gratitude to take in the beauty of the US. I want to incorporate my love for swimming in Minnesota's lakes and marathon running by fundraising to protect our Boundary Waters. Standing up for this ecological area is standing up for what is equitable and just for all living things. I want to thank you for taking the time to read this and hope you consider helping me surpass my goal!
Warm Regards,
Nick
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.
