The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA) in northeast Minnesota is one of America's most beautiful and remote places. Its vast wilderness extends 150 miles along the U.S.-Canada border, covering approximately 1,098,000 acres with over 1,100 lakes and 1,500 miles of canoe routes, attracting more than 150,000 visitors annually.

This coveted area is continuously under attack but our friends at Save the Boundary Waters have been protecting the area since 1997. Save the Boundary Waters is leading the effort to ensure permanent protection for the Wilderness from toxic sulfide-ore copper mining.
