Protect the Porkies
The Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park are located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula along Lake Superior. Currently the area is under threat for mining, specifically an ore mine. Lake Superior provides clean drinking water to thousands in the US which would become polluted, in addition to other impacts such as habitat fragmentation, disruption to outdoor recreation, and a threat to tribal resources and sacred lands.
​
Don't live in Michigan? Me either, but you can still get involved by writing to representatives in Michigan to encourage them to vote against this taxpayer funded mine. Check out their website for more information and resources for contacting representatives.

Bear Defenders
Bears occupy many of the spaces that we recreate, and while there can be a lot of fear around these beautiful animals. The narrative around them and our coexistence needs to change; we live in their environment and need to be better stewards.
​
Florida is proposing a trophy hunt for bears this year, this hunt would allow the use of baiting, archery and dogs. This type of hunt is cruel and unnecessary. Please visit Bear Defenders' website to learn who to contact to speak up for these animals and against this kind of cruelty.

We'll have a new project posted soon!
