Dear John,
The Dog Days of summer are coming to a close, but we are planning more in-person and hybrid events to protect the Boundary Waters - join us! You can see all of our upcoming events here.
Boundary Waters Legacy Celebration Whether you join us virtually or in person, this will be an event you don’t want to miss! On Monday, October 4th, join the Campaign to Save the Boundary Waters to celebrate the Wilderness we all love. At the event, you'll hear about the latest developments in the fight for Boundary Waters protection while we honor past, present, and future Boundary Waters champions, including former Vice President Walter Mondale.
The Boundary Waters on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Recently we ran a powerful new national Boundary Waters ad on MSNBC's popular TV talk show “Morning Joe," calling on leaders to follow the example of the late Vice President Walter Mondale & continue his legacy of protecting the Wilderness.
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 so that we can continue to fight fiercely on behalf of America's most visited Wilderness.

Please RSVP so we know how many people to expect!
