For more than a decade, Congresswoman McCollum has led the fight to defend the Boundary Waters from attacks by foreign mining interests who want to build a toxic copper-sulfide mine at the edge of the wilderness.
At Lunch with the Friends, Congresswoman McCollum will discuss how she is fighting back against the unprecedented assault on the Boundary Waters unleashed by the Trump administration and its political accomplices.
What You’ll Learn:
- Details about legislation designed to protect the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) from sulfide-ore copper mining
- How the Act aims to preserve more than 225,000 acres of federal lands and waters
- The environmental significance of protecting the BWCAW for future generations
This is an excellent opportunity to understand current conservation efforts and how you can support this important environmental initiative. Congresswoman McCollum will share her insights on the legislation and answer questions about the protection of one of America’s most treasured wilderness areas.
We hope to see you there!
