We are so excited about the announcement the @u.s.forestservice made yesterday. The U.S. Forest Service is “considering withholding consent for lease renewal” of Twin Metals leases. As our Becky Rom at @savethebwca said, “In recognizing the incredible value of the Wilderness and the dangers posed by sulfide-ore copper mining, the Forest Service’s announcement is an important acknowledgement about the need to protect the Boundary Waters.” Please sign the new petition to the Forest Service and urge the Forest Service to deny those leases! Speak up today! Share this with your friends, family, and neighbors and urge them to sign the petition and take action. Thank you!
