This is good news for the Boundary Waters. And we need good news right now. This is exactly the kind of bold, lasting protection we need—especially now as the current Administration is fast-tracking efforts to open up the Boundary Waters watershed to the most polluting industry in America.
The Boundary Waters belongs to all of us. Its crystal clean waters, rare boreal ecosystem, and unmatched beauty are part of our national identity. But without permanent protections, it's at risk of being lost to short-sighted, irreversible damage.
We’re grateful for Senator Smith’s leadership. At a time when Public Lands are under increasing threat, Senator Smith’s leadership is a crucial and timely response to ensure the Boundary Waters Wilderness is protected for all who cherish and depend upon it.
Now let’s make sure this bill gets the support it needs.
Together, we can protect this treasured place—forever.
