“But in the early 2000s, mining companies proposed new #CopperMines in the #NationalForest near the wilderness, and according to Luke Goldstein of The Lever, the owner of Antofagasta, Chilean billionaire #AndrónicoLuksic, began to try to get leases from the U.S. government for exclusive mining rights to the lands near the #BWCAW in 2012. In 2013, conservationists began a campaign to #BanMining there, and in 2016 the Obama administration blocked Luksic’s plans. Shortly after 47 was elected in 2016, Luksic bought a mansion in Washington, D.C., that he then rented to Trump’s daughter #Ivanka and son-in-law #JaredKushner.”

Republicans sell mining rights on National Parks to foreign billionaires. Follow the money to see how the Epstein Class does it.

A man standing on a cliff overlooking a beautiful view of a long lake and a vast expanse of untouched forest.
2020. Probably 1 of the best views in #Minnesota in the stunning #boundarywaters #bwcaw . The Border Route Trail & Boundary Waters is so magical & in danger of sulfide mining. 💔 😞 I love taking pictures of my partner exploring. Over 1 million acres accessible only by canoe & portaging! #photography

Dorothy Molter, "The loneliest woman in America," lived far from solitude in the Boundary Waters. From a city nurse to the legendary "Root Beer Lady," she built a wilderness haven, welcoming thousands. Her story is one of resilience, independence, and a deep connection to nature. #MN #History #BWCAW

Inspired by #BWCAW pictographs, and this morning’s Full Moon, She reminds me that regardless of who wants to claim or control us or what we are told we are, ultimately we belong to Her, Mother Nature, for it is of Her fabric that we are, it is to Her that we return.

Blessed to have the means and physical ability to visit and paint inspired by ancient sacred sites tucked in nooks and crannies of the pristine BWCAW waterways. Again, I will be donating to Save the Boundary Waters, for the protections are facing a stormy day. #BWCAW

and pollution.
Two crazy things ~
1. It’s a foreign company!
2. Only about 1% of the product is their goal!
The byproducts become tailings that will not be contained. It becomes sulfuric acid and will include release of mercury.
If you care about pristine ecosystems, #BWCAW #LOTW #RainyRiver

It is the bougiest Outfitter in Ely, but I love the Piragis catalog. I mean, c'mon, look at those gorgeous paddles. In these uncertain times, surely a $285 paddle is a wise use of money, right? Right??

Good Morning, friend!
It’s WhoopWhoop Wednesday!
Please contact your Senators and Congresswomen and men.
A copper-sulfide mine is now expected to be allowed in the #SuperiorNataionalForest downstream of the #BWCAW #RainyRiver and #LakeOfTheWoods The mine has strong likelihood of polluting all 3.
