Minnesota's Economic Rights in the Superior National Forest Act. During both committee markup and floor debate, NWF urged members of the House to reject H.R. 3905, which would renew mineral leases to Twin Metals Minnesota for the purpose of mining copper sulfide at the edge of the Boundary Waters watershed. Reinforced that the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is the largest wilderness area east of the Rockies and north of the Everglades and highlighted the negative economic impact that such a mine could have for northern Minnesota, a tourism-dependent area. H.R. 1349. Amending Wilderness Act for use of bicycles, wheelchairs, strollers, and game carts. Expressed opposition to this bill, which would allow wheeled devices, most notably mountain bikes, on trails in wilderness areas. Not only would this erode the trails used by people on foot, but it would also disrupt pristine wild areas and affect the livelihood of the wildlife that lives in these areas.
