It’s more important than ever to get engaged and help protect the Boundary Waters. Minnesotans from all corners of the state must work to safeguard America’s most visited Wilderness from toxic copper mining. That’s why we’re holding events multiple local communities across the state.

Each event will feature engaging speakers, including our Executive Director Ingrid Lyons, who will dive into detail on the issue and where we are right now. Learn how you can immediately take action to protect the Boundary Waters, through a series of hands-on activities where you can interact with staff and learn about types of political and community activism that you can engage in right in your own backyard.
