Dear John,
As passionate explorers and proud owners of Wintergreen Dogsled Lodge in Ely, Minnesota, our family has had the privilege to travel and witness the beauty of astounding places around the world. We’ve learned a lot from these places, and they’ve made something abundantly clear: the Boundary Waters is unlike anywhere else on the planet. But this incredible place is at risk.
Our family and many other business owners are worried about the threat posed by proposed sulfide-ore copper mining next to the Boundary Waters and the recent approval of drilling near Birch Lake. This type of mining is extremely toxic and would devastate the Wilderness our businesses rely on. We must act now - before midnight tonight - to protect this Wilderness before it's too late. Please rush a 2x tax-deductible donation right away to help us save the Boundary Waters.
