This wealth has been all but exhausted. And now that freshwater, not oil, is this century’s most valuable commodity worldwide, huge pressures loom for the lake’s greatest asset, the freshwater itself.\r\n\r\nWe are dedicated to the health and care of the Lake Superior watershed because it is our extended Home, and the Spirit of the Land is part of that Home. It is a Home we are privileged to share with trees, plants, moses, fungi, wolves, caribou, moose, lynx, bears, eagles and a myriad of Beings great and small. All have a birthright to inherit this Home rich with its complex diversity; a place where all of Nature’s voices from wind to birdsong can be clearly heard. All have a right to a Home where air, water and soil are free of toxins.\r\n\r\nOur Vision: Creating a future that supports healthy wild places, thriving people and vibrant communities around Lake Superior.
