    Restoring the Boundary Waters: Conservation Corps & Superior National Forest Partnership

    In the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, every portage and campsite tells a story — of paddlers, of time, and of the people who care for this place. In this episode, we hear from Brian Miller and Zac Bair from Conservation Corps Minnesota and Iowa, and Cathy Quinn from the Superior National Forest, about their partnership to restore and maintain trails, portages, and campsites deep in the BWCAW. From hauling tools across lakes to balancing restoration work with keeping the wilderness wild, this is a behind-the-scenes look at the hard work that helps keep the Boundary Waters healthy and accessible for generations to come.
