Did you know the Boundary Waters is critical to climate resilience?
The Boundary Waters is a vital natural asset in the fight against climate change. Its woodland is comprised of primarily boreal forests, which stores more carbon than any other terrestrial ecosystem (almost two times more than tropical forests!). Please consider becoming a monthly donor today [[link removed]] so that we can continue to fight fiercely on behalf of America's most visited Wilderness.
