Hi John,

This week is National Estate Planning Awareness Week — the perfect time to reflect on how your values and your love for the Boundary Waters can live on for generations.

Did you know?
✍️ More than half of Americans don’t have a will or estate plan.
⏰ Creating a will can often be done in less than an hour.
🌲 You can include a gift to causes you care about – like protecting the Boundary Waters – while still providing for loved ones.

Estate planning isn’t just about paperwork. It’s about protecting the people and places you love — and making sure your legacy continues to make an impact long after you’re gone.

To help you get started, we’ve created a free Planned Giving Resource Hub [[link removed]] , designed to answer common questions and show how your future plans can make a lasting difference for the Wilderness. Inside, you’ll find:

• A simple guide on how to leave a legacy with Save the Boundary Waters.
• An easy intent form to let us know if you’ve already included the Wilderness in your plans.
• Stories and ideas to help you think about the legacy you want to leave

Whether you’re just starting to think about estate planning or you already have a plan in place, this is a great reminder of how small steps today can create a lasting legacy tomorrow.
