# A Year in the Wilderness: Bearing Witness in the Boundary Waters - Hardcover

by **Amy Freeman** (Author), **Dave Freeman** (Author)

**Since its establishment as a federally protected wilderness in 1964, the Boundary Waters has become one of our nation's most valuable--and most frequently visited--natural treasures. When Amy and Dave Freeman learned of toxic mining proposed within the area's watershed, they decided to take action--by spending a year in the wilderness, and sharing their experience through video, photos, and blogs with an audience of hundreds of thousands of concerned citizens.**

This book tells the deeper story of their adventure in northern Minnesota: of loons whistling under a moonrise, of ice booming as it forms and cracks, of a moose and her calf swimming across a misty lake.

With the magic--and urgent--message that has rallied an international audience to the campaign to save the Boundary Waters, _A Year in the Wilderness_ is a rousing cry of witness activism, and a stunning tribute to this singularly beautiful region.
