A Year in the Wilderness: Bearing Witness in the Boundary

A Year in the Wilderness: Bearing Witness in the Boundary Waters

Since its establishment as a federally protected wilderness in 1964, the Boundary Waters has become one of our nationâ€™s most valuableâ€•and most frequently visitedâ€•natural treasures. When Amy and Dave Freeman learned of toxic mining proposed within this areaâ€™s watershed, they decided to take actionâ€•by spending a year in the wilderness, and sharing their experience through video, photos, and blogs with an audience of hundreds of thousands of concerned citizens. This book tells the deeper story of their adventure in northern Minnesota: of loons whistling under a moonrise, of ice booming as it forms and cracks, of a moose and her calf swimming across a misty lake.

With the magicâ€•and urgent messageâ€•that has rallied an international audience to the campaign to save the Boundary Waters,Â A Year in the WildernessÂ is a rousing cry of witness activism, and a stunning tribute to this singularly beautiful region.
