Through our e news letters, our blog, our Facebook site, and in our retail store we strive to inform everyone we can about the need to come to the rescue of the wild canoe country.
Are there plans to further improve your example of tourism supporting conservation in the future?
Yes. We are constantly finding new ways to leverage our position as employers in a wilderness edge community and to our clients. As an example, by joining with Back Country Hunters and Anglers we are accessing sportsman’s groups to join the fight now and in the future. First and foremost, we have to keep up the level of customer support we have been known for and keep our business successful in order to have more influence with more constituents who can then recruit even more folks to join the fight to save the watershed from pollution.
How could your example be transferred to another protected area and how could your experience be shared with others?
A national campaign for wilderness and natural areas is a big undertaking. Expert leadership is necessary. Our experience over the past four years could be invaluable for others facing similar challenges, and of course we’d be willing to help to the extent we have time to assist others.
