The Fight to Protect the Boundary Waters

We're celebrating the 45th Anniversary of the BWCAW by talking to three of the individuals who created Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness and fought for passage of the BWCAW Act of 1978: Chuck Dayton, Jan Green, and Kevin Proescholdt.
Chuck, Jan, and Kevin share their insights and personal experiences on the legislative and political battles leading up to passage of the BWCAW Act of 1978. They also reflect on how the lessons learned from that time period can be applied to the current efforts of the Friends, to protect the wilderness.

Paddle and take time to observe nature. At times it's an eye opener. It's not only American policies that affect USA climate. South America's continuing elimination of its rain forest program is a factor for changing American weather. Historical American elimination of buffalo and caribou and invention of the metal plow were big factors. World polluters like China affect global temperature.
