"For 50 years, we’ve brought people together to safeguard the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. With over 10,000 members from across America, we are ready to stand up against Trump’s attacks on the wilderness."

"Two proposed copper-sulfide mines — NewRange-PolyMet and Twin Metals — risk contaminating some of the cleanest water on earth and permanently polluting the BWCA. If these mines open, they would produce acid mine drainage and cause irreparable harm to our beloved wilderness. Learn more about how you can take action, join the fight and be part of a movement."

"From a searchable route library with BWCA maps to information on permits, we have the resources you need to explore the Boundary Waters. With more than 1,100 lakes, 1,200 miles of canoe routes, a dozen rugged hiking trails and over 1.1 million acres, the BWCA offers endless opportunities for adventure."

"In 1976, a group of ordinary people came together to create a grassroots movement that would pass the landmark legislation that made the Boundary Waters the protected wilderness it is today. Since then we’ve brought people together to stop toxic mining projects and defended these waters in courtrooms across the nation."
