One of our goals for this trip is to incorporate other people, groups and organizations who share a similar passion for outdoor adventures and also the same goal of preserving the integrity of the greater Boundary Waters area ecosystem . So far we have agreed to give two presentations on the campus of Northland College in partnership with the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute, one described below and the second (date undetermined) in early April to correspond with their celebration- Wildness Week. Check in with the SOEI for details and dates at:

I am going to be giving a pre-trip presentation at Northland College on January 13th from 3:00pm - 4:30pm under the Wheeler bridge on campus (The walking bridge between Wheeler Hall and the Larson-Juhl Center for Science and the Environment). I will be showing the gear and other kit I will be taking on the trip, teaching a few short lesson on winter travel and living outdoors in the winter, and also we will be discussing some of the environmental issues facing the Boundary Waters area. This presentation is free and open to the public. Hope to see ya there.
