Click below to read an interesting and personal article by Mike Link, former Executive Director
of the Audubon Center of the North Woods, regarding Risk and the Wilderness.
This article first appeared in Backpacker Magazine, then South West Magazine and
the edited version below will be in the Fall 2007 Friends of the BWCAW newsletter.

Risk and the Wilderness by Mike Link

"In the fields and woods more than anywhere else all things come to those
who wait,
because all things are on the move, and are sure sooner or later
to come your way. To absorb a thing is better than to learn it, and we
absorb what we enjoy. We learn things at school, we absorb them in the
fields and woods and on the farm. When we look upon Nature with
fondness and appreciation she meets us halfway and takes a deeper hold
upon us than when studiously conned. Hence I say the way of knowledge
of Nature is the way of love and enjoyment, and is more surely found in
the open air than in the school-room or the laboratory."
- John Burroughs

Our Mission:
To instill a connection and commitment
to the environment in people of all
communities through experiential learning.
Our Vision:
A healthy planet where all people
live in balance with the Earth.
