Join us for Give to the Max Day Early Giving

This past summer, three other young women and I embarked on an expedition, paddling 1,380 miles over the course of 80 days . Our trip began in the Boundary Waters, tracing the border route with our canoes, following the watersheds from east to west.

The vibrant natural beauty we witnessed could only be described as remarkable. We saw its highest peaks and deepest waters. We had the privilege of meeting complex, resilient people in the most remote parts of the region. We, the Hudson Bay Girls , grew and learned and endured—immersed in a world currently untouched but by nature itself.

Paddling through the clean waters threatened by looming pollution from the Twin Metals Mine served as a powerful reminder that the legacy we leave will shape the experiences of generations to come.

Each hardship we faced proved to only push us further into our appreciation for the land, for each other, and for the profound experience gifted to us by the region. It was for this reason that we partnered with Save the Boundary Waters and other conservation organizations to advocate for the region, raise money to protect it, and inspire others to discover it for themselves.

In sharing our adventure, we underscored the importance of securing lasting protection for the BWCA, and the clean water that supports downstream communities.

Right now, your gift will be TRIPLED thanks to the Manitou Fund. Let’s lead the fight to speak loudly for this quiet place. [[link removed]]
