HIGHLIGHTS
Last week, I had the honor of attending the Save the Boundary Waters Gala alongside my clients at Cast Outdoor Adventures Inc.—a night that was as inspiring as it was unforgettable.
The evening was hosted by Northeastern Minnesotans for Wilderness (NMW), the largest conservation organization in Minnesota dedicated to protecting and preserving the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and the greater Quetico-Superior ecosystem.
Their mission resonates deeply with those of us who work in and around the outdoors: to ensure these wild and precious places remain intact for generations to come.
For those unfamiliar, NMW launched the Save the Boundary Waters national coalition in 2013 to create widespread awareness and action against threats like sulfide-ore copper mining, which poses a serious risk to this fragile ecosystem. The work they do is critical—not just for Minnesota, but for the national conservation movement.
“Speak loudly for this quiet place.”
Terry Tempest williams, keynote speaker
Attending with Cast Outdoor Adventures Inc. made the evening even more meaningful. As passionate outdoor guides and educators, their work directly connects people with the Boundary Waters and the profound peace and perspective that nature offers. Their commitment to environmental stewardship isn’t just something they talk about—it’s something they live out in every paddle stroke and every guided trip.
The gala was a celebration of this shared love for wilderness, filled with powerful stories, community energy, and renewed calls to action. From moving speeches to meaningful conversations with fellow advocates, the event underscored just how important it is that we continue to stand up for our wild spaces.
Walking away from the gala, I felt both grateful and galvanized. Grateful for organizations like NMW who have dedicated decades to this cause. Grateful for clients like Cast Outdoor Adventures who make conservation a part of their business DNA. And galvanized to continue supporting, amplifying, and standing with those who work tirelessly to protect the Boundary Waters.
Here’s to wild places—and the incredible people fighting to keep them that way. 🛶🌲
