Posts - Bill - HR 588 Boundary Waters Wilderness Protection and Pollution Prevention Act
house 01/21/2025 - 119th Congress
We're advocating for the Boundary Waters Wilderness Protection and Pollution Prevention Act, which aims to safeguard the pristine waters and forest habitats of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Voyageurs National Park. By prohibiting certain types of mining activities within the Rainy River Watershed in Minnesota, we seek to preserve natural resources, support treaty rights, and protect the region's thriving tourism industry for future generations.
