Dear John,
On an October afternoon, as we paddled across Knife Lake while bathing in the warm sun, the fall colors of yellow and red stretched across the shore as far as our eyes could see. The bright sun sprinkled a trail of shining silver on the lake, and all we could hear was our canoes gliding through the water, feeling the breeze on our faces.
It was the first trip our organization, the Outdoor Services Guide (OSG), had ever taken to the BWCA. Our group was made up of nine adults passionate about scouting and guiding. For all but one of us, it was our first time visiting this iconic Wilderness. We were all mesmerized by its beauty and the breathtaking scenery.
Everywhere we turned, the Boundary Waters presented a spectacular nature show: |
The visit to Boundary Waters humbled us. As we reflect on the pristine landscape, the clear and clean water, the quietness and beauty that we saw, we know the Boundary Waters is fragile and any damage to it is irreversible.
We bear the responsibility to preserve, to conserve, and to protect the BWCA for generations to come which means joining the fight to stop copper mining in the BWCA watershed.
Join us and support the mission of Save the Boundary Waters to protect this incredible Wild place for future generations
Every dollar you give to Save the Boundary Waters is tax-deductible and will be matched, doubling your impact until December 31. |
