My Story
The BWCA is an area close to my heart, having spent many summers paddling in this pristine wilderness on backcountry camping trips with friends and family. I am passionate about protecting this unique area, especially in light of recent mining threats to the area.
I have a goal of raising $500 for Save the Boundary Waters. Any and all donations will make a difference!
Thank you so much for your support and please reach out with any questions!
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.
