My Story
It's been 14 years since I made the decision to move to Duluth. One of the driving factors behind this decision was how connected and immersed in nature I felt when visiting and touring the campus. From the lake, to its trails and parks, I knew that Duluth would provide me ample opportunity stay active, to get outside, and to explore.
14 years later, I can tell you that this is exactly what happened.
At the core of this fundraiser is a mission to protect and conserve our great wilderness; the same wilderness that brought me north in the first place. By donating to this charity, you will be assisting in the ongoing fight to prioritize, respect, and protect the great outdoors from toxic sulfide-ore copper mining.
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.
