Donate To Our Mission

Your gift directly supports our work to protect, preserve and restore the wilderness character of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and the Quetico-Superior Ecosystem.

Your support is key in the fight against copper-sulfide mining, helps us send more kids on their first trip to the Boundary Waters, and works toward preserving the clean water of this pristine wilderness for generations to come.
