Help up give our dining hall a facelift - square by square
Please consider contributing to our ‘Dining Room Floor’ campaign. One 20” x 20” carpet tile is around $2 - if everyone who visits our dining room bought just one square, we could have this project completed in no time. Or consider buying a carton of tiles for $20.

Click below to read an interesting and personal article by Mike Link, Executive Director
of the Audubon Center of the North Woods, regarding Risk and the Wilderness.
This article first appeared in Backpacker Magazine, then South West Magazine and
the edited version below will be in the Fall 2007 Friends of the BWCAW newsletter.
Risk and the Wilderness by Mike Link |
"In
the fields and woods more than anywhere else all things come
to those
who wait, because
all things are on the move, and are sure sooner or later
to come your way. To absorb a thing is better than to learn
it, and we
absorb what we enjoy. We learn things at school, we absorb
them in the
fields and woods and on the farm. When we look upon Nature
with
fondness and appreciation she meets us halfway and takes a
deeper hold
upon us than when studiously conned. Hence I say the way of
knowledge
of Nature is the way of love and enjoyment, and is more surely
found in
the open air than in the school-room or the laboratory."
- John Burroughs

Our
Mission:
To
protect, improve and promote the enjoyment of the
natural environment
through formal and informal
education programs and research; to assist
and
encourage
environmental education programs, centers, and
careers. |
Our
Vision:
The
environment is the blackboard for the Center's educational programs;
the common ground that brings us together with the natural world and
people from around the globe to share our concerns for one another and
the future. It is through positive and shared experience that we hope
we can affect the values and actions of our people to create a world
of harmonious diversity. |
