On September 23, 2015, Dave and Amy Freeman embarked on a yearlong adventure in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW). Their journey was in support of the “Campaign to Save the Boundary Waters” efforts to protect the BWCAW from proposed sulfide-ore copper mining on the Wilderness edge. On September 23, 2016, they returned after 366 days. Since they departed on their Year in the Wilderness, Dave and Amy camped at approximately 120 different sites, explored 500 lakes, rivers and streams, and traveled more than 2,000 miles by canoe, foot, ski, snowshoe and dog team. Learn all about their amazing adventure and the status of one of the world’s premiere wilderness areas – the BWCAW.
