Green up the Gunflint
February 27th, 2008 | by Andy Published in BWCAW, Environment
When’s the last time you got to plant 150 red and white pines along the Gunflint Trail, to enjoy them decades later with your great-grandchildren? That’s right, you never have, but you’ll get that chance on May 2-4. From the organizers of the Gunflint GreenUp:
The residents, resort owners and outfitters realize that while we are lucky enough to call the Gunflint Trail ‘home’ — it is also the place that Minnesotans and others call ‘home’ in their hearts. We are hosting the Gunflint Green Up for everyone who knows the uniqueness of this pristine place; this place where we all reconnect and recharge.
Volunteers (like you) will spend one sweaty, dirty weekend re-foresting several sites along the trail. And a lifetime, reaping the benefits. Registration details, here.
