DFCW Presents: A Conversation about Jobs in the Arrowhead

Panel at DFCW Jobs Forum

We're here at the USFS Listening Session in solidarity with the many powerful voices in the room saying NO to copper sulfide mining to the north of us in the BWCA watershed, including a former 25-year USFS employee who is discussing how amphibians are a "canary in the coal mine" for toxicity in the Superior National Forest.

This type of mining is way too damaging for the BWCA, AND for Lake Superior.

John Doberstein testifying on behalf of Duluth for Clean water at the MN Senate Judiciary and Public Safety Committee. We're saying NO to the cynical effort to remove the ability of downstream communities to request a contested case hearing on mining permit apps.
