Protecting the Boundary Waters during the COVID-19 Pandemic

In this challenging time, the team at Save the Boundary Waters hopes you and yours are safe and healthy. Just like so many people around the globe, our lives have been turned upside down by the pandemic and its continued fallout. Times like these remind us how critical good health is. It is also a reminder of how important the Boundary Waters is to our physical and emotional health, and we all long to get back there soon.

As we work to maintain our personal and community health, we are also working to maintain the health of America’s favorite wilderness. The federal government and Antofagasta are working overtime to get this mine approved; we cannot slow down our work.

We are so grateful for you, our passionate and dedicated supporters, and we know that our work to protect the Boundary Waters can and must go on. Campaign staff are working remotely from their homes as we continue our scientific, legal, advocacy, outreach and organizing work to protect the Wilderness from sulfide-ore copper mining. 

Here are a few ways you can stay connected to this Wilderness, its surrounding communities, and the fight to protect it for generations to come.

Staying Connected:

• Attend our weekly “Opt Inside” webinars for supporters with different topics each week. RSVP here. 
• Check out this page of Boundary Waters activities you can do from home on our OptInside resource page. 
• Reach out to any of our staff or through social media.
• Join us as a Digital Volunteer during these more isolated (and digital) times. Learn more here.

We hope you are staying safe during these unprecedented times.
