On this day in 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness Act—a landmark moment in conservation history. This legislation strengthened protections for over a million acres of pristine lakes, ancient forests, and wild shorelines, ensuring the Boundary Waters remains unspoiled for generations to come. Honor this legacy by joining the Friends today and help us continue protecting this irreplaceable wilderness. https://www.friends-bwca.org/donate/ | Friends of the
