Substantial funding for this project was provided by the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR).
Funding for many of these trips is made possible by the Thomas Flint Memorial Fund. The Thomas Flint Memorial Fund was started as a remembrance of Thomas Hunter Flint, an outdoor advocate and Boundary Waters enthusiast who was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident at age 24. Thomas loved the Boundary Waters and treasured the trips he took with his father, his family, and friends. As a tribute to his love of the Boundary Water, Thomas’ family created this Memorial in hopes of helping underprivileged youth experience the beauty of the BWCA. Learn more about Thomas Flint.
