The sand mine spill into the St. Croix River is a warning we should heed.
 I shepherded the story of a sand mine leaking into the St. Croix from the grassroots to mainstream media.  A community in sulfide mining’s crosshairs took a stand recently to preserve its water and its way of life.  I spent Thursday and Friday last week playing tour guide in the woods of northern Minnesota, and documented the trip with some photos.  Tomorrow is the last day to comment on a Superior National Forest proposal for more mining exploration at the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. |
