About Us Make a Difference


The primary goal of the Protect Minnesota’s Wilderness campaign is to protect nearly 90,000 acres of roadless areas in Superior National Forest that today stand unprotected. Poll after poll demonstrates strong public support for roadless area and wilderness protection. Therefore, our key objective is to mobilize this strong base of support and activate all Minnesotans to take action on behalf of our state’s few remaining wild places.

The Protect Minnesota’s Wilderness coalition, led by the Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness, represents a broad spectrum of organizations––conservation groups, civic groups, churches and businesses––that believe protecting wilderness is a mainstream American value.
