Join us! Boundary Waters Advisory Committee (BWAC) is holding an award recognition event for the esteemed USFS Ranger Jon Benson to honor 15 years of partnership in maintaining BWCAW trails.
The event is being held at the USFS Duluth office, and attendance is limited to 15 people due to facility constraints. This will be a great time to gather to reflect on the many accomplishments brought by the partnership between BWAC and the USFS!
