Protect and Restore Minnesota's Forests
for our Families, for our Future
Have you ever enjoyed northern Minnesota's beautiful woods with their lakes, wildlife, and recreation opportunities? Do you have a cabin or favorite fishing spot or campground? Or do you simply believe that we need to protect wild areas for their own sake?
Sierra Club is fighting for restoration, quiet recreation, and biodiversity on Minnesota's public lands, from the wilds of Voyageurs National Park, to the wildlife on Chippewa and Superior National Forests, to our little-known and unprotected state and county forests. New challenges threaten to increase logging on state forests, drop protections for rare wildlife, and allow irresponsible all-terrain vehicle owners to wreck public lands.
This volunteer-driven campaign works to address these issues through grassroots policy and public education:
- Saving the best of what's left on state land.
Help Sierra Club explore and protect Special Places for future
Minnesotans.
- Challenging clear-cuts on Superior and
Chippewa National Forests. Learn about what the US Forest Service
plans to
do in the next 100 years in northern Minnesota, and how we can restore
balance to our north woods.
- Protecting the Boundary Waters and the
last roadless areas. The Bush
administration has changed the rules that used to protect wild forests. We are fighting
plans that will erase many of them.
- Keeping the 'public' in public lands. Get involved in decisions
about how our State and National Forests are managed, in Forest Watch.
- Is the Last Remaining Wilderness on the Mississippi River Endangered?
- Enforcing ATV laws. What's wrong with
letting ATVs go everywhere, and how to keep your favorite patch of woods quiet.
- Issue briefings, news, reports
