Keep It Wild - Impacts on Wilderness Character

In the August segment we converse with Wilderness Operations Supervisor Chris Maher about some common, human-caused impacts to wilderness character in the BWCAW including: burning trash and the improper handling of garbage, building "furniture" on campsites, pounding nails in trees, and pruning or peeling tree bark and live branches. Chris also covers what the follow up to these infractions might be, and gives us the lowdown on how most visitors are doing, on our visits to the wilderness. "Keep it Wild" is a monthly feature of the WTIP Boundary Waters Podcast.
