All this warm weather makes me look forward to paddling. Summer will be here before long.
On January 12th the US Forest Service announced a two-year pause on mining activities in approximately 234,328 acres of the Superior National Forest, a vital portion of the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The announcement started a 90-day period of the public to comment. FOLLOW THE LINK IN OUR BIO AND SUBMIT A COMMENT, urging the government to withdraw these critical lands and minerals from the leasing program and protect the Boundary Waters Watershed from sulfide-ore copper mining. We are posting on social media every day during the 90-day comment period to encourage ACTION! Please follow us, like and share our posts, post your photos and stories about the Boundary Waters, tag #savetheBWCA, and most importantly encourage as many people as possibly to submit a comment at http://ift.tt/2jgv14m We spent 366 days in Wilderness to protect this place during our #wildernessyear to #SaveTheBWCA , please take 2 minutes to submit your comment and speak loudly for this quiet place.
