Proposed nickel-copper-sulfide mines threaten the rivers, Lake Superior, wildlife, and the Chippewa native communities.   Over 1,000 acres of wetlands would be destroyed, and the fish and  wild rice  would be threatened.  Also, oppose a land swap of federal national forest to become state land that would primarily logged and mined for profit without concern for wildlife, fish, forest, or recreation.  Check out Friends of the Boundary Waters to learn more!
