Celebrate with BWAC: Ten Years of Powwow Trail Restoration
Details
This event is being held at the Powwow Trailhead, BWCAW entry point 86.
Join us! The Boundary Waters Advisory Committee (BWAC) and BWCAW Superior National Forest land management are celebrating ongoing Powwow Trail restoration after the Pagami Creek Fire. What does a boreal forest look like ten years after a wildfire? The Powwow Trail offers both a valuable footpath into Minnesota's Boundary Waters, and to a vigorously regenerating, healthy forest.
