Save The Boundary Waters Endorses Dan Kessler
I am honored to receive the endorsement of Save the Boundary Waters.
The Boundary Waters is one of Minnesota's greatest treasures, a place of pristine lakes, clean water, abundant wildlife, and unforgettable natural beauty. It belongs not only to us, but to future generations who deserve the opportunity to experience and enjoy this remarkable wilderness.
Protecting our environment isn't just about preserving special places; it's about safeguarding clean water, healthy ecosystems, and the outdoor heritage that makes Minnesota unique.
I'm proud to stand with those working to protect the Boundary Waters and Minnesota's natural resources. Together, we can ensure these irreplaceable lands and waters remain protected for generations to come.
I know how essential time spent in nature is to our mental health, emotional resilience, and overall well-being. The Boundary Waters Canoe Area is a irreplaceable state treasure, a place of healing, quiet, and unmatched natural beauty for thousands of Minnesotans. The Save the Boundary Waters Action Fund plays a critical role in keeping toxic sulfide-ore copper mining out of this delicate watershed. Earning their endorsement is a huge honor. I will be a firm advocate for protecting our clean water, preserving our public lands, and ensuring the Boundary Waters remains pristine for our kids and grandkids.
