"If you paddle far enough into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Minnesota, the noise of the modern world falls away. In its place, you hear the call of a loon, the slap of a beaver’s tail and a silence that has remained unchanged since the glaciers receded." #SaveTheBWCA

Opinion | This Minnesota wilderness is the wrong place for a copper mine
A Senate vote could endanger some beautiful American backcountry.

The Boundary Waters is one of the most pristine places on Earth—but it’s under threat. A new bill could open the door to toxic mining in its watershed. Some places are too precious to risk. 🛶

House GOP dropped the mining provision—not to save the Boundary Waters, but to match the Senate version and preserve reconciliation rules.
Still, that means no mining language in the bill. The wilderness stays safe, for now.
