30 Years Later: Ely and the Boundary Waters Act
18 Jul
Duluth’s Northland’s Newscenter television stations have begun broadcasting a series of stories on the effects of the 1978 Boundary Waters Act on the city of Ely, Minnesota, one of the gateway communities to the million acre wilderness area.
Three decades after legislation created the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, hard feelings still exist between locals, environmentalists, and the U.S. Forest Service which manages the popular canoe destination.
You can find Part 1 and Part 2 of the series on the listing HERE. Just click on the camera icon to view the Newscenter story. Additional segments on the topic should appear in the coming days.
