Dear John,
I hope you’ll tune in with me for an extra-special virtual Boundary Waters event TOMORROW, Wednesday, August 11, at 10:00 a.m. CT.
I’ll be broadcasting from the outdoor recreation industry’s major trade show, Outdoor Retailer, as part of the Conservation Alliance’s Breakfast forum - along with professional ultra runner and environmental activist Claire Gallagher and Joseph Goldstein, the inspirational leader of Kids for the Boundary Waters. The Conservation Alliance is the outdoor recreation industry’s major environmental advocacy and grantmaking institution. Their mission is to harness the collective power of business and outdoor communities to fund and advocate for the protection of North America’s wild places. We are so grateful to The Conservation Alliance for their support since 2015 and for featuring the Boundary Waters during their annual event this year! What: Virtual Conservation Alliance Breakfast - Saving the Boundary Waters: Stories About Runners and Kids Working to Protect America’s Most Visited Wilderness When: Wednesday, August 11 at 10 a.m. central time The Conservation Alliance and its member companies are prioritizing precedent-setting national public lands conservation efforts over the next two years, including restoring Bears Ears National Monument, defending the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from drilling, and protecting the Boundary Waters Wilderness from copper mining.
So please join me tomorrow morning to hear stories from my recent 100-mile adventure run across the Wilderness, which will be featured in a short film coming this fall. Joseph will be sharing his childhood connection to this Wilderness and how he helped build a youth-led nationwide grassroots campaign to protect the Boundary Waters at the age of 13.
For the Wilderness, Alex Falconer
