Dear John,
We are at a critical crossroads. We face a new threat to Canoe Country, a president-elect that has vowed to overturn the recent protections granted to the Boundary Waters watershed within the first ten minutes in office. If we don’t work quickly, irreversible damage will be done. From reversing current protections to reinstating illegal mining leases, the coming year will be pivotal in safeguarding the Boundary Waters.
But here is the good news: Save the Boundary Waters is prepared to hold the line and defend America’s most visited Wilderness no matter what.
The Boundary Waters Defense Fund is a bold, new initiative by Save the Boundary Waters, designed to meet escalating threats and secure lasting protections for America’s most visited Wilderness.
We have built a strong coalition and are the voice of the Boundary Waters in Washington, D.C., St. Paul, and beyond. In fact, we are the only organization working at both the federal and state levels to safeguard this cherished Wilderness permanently.
For years, we’ve fought tirelessly to keep toxic mining out of the Boundary Waters watershed. Now, with threats mounting and the incoming presidential administration vowing to reverse existing protections, the stakes have never been higher. This is our moment to rise and defend this irreplaceable landscape—and it begins with you.
Will you make a tax-deductible, year-end gift to support the Boundary Waters Defense Fund and double your impact?
