 Protecting the Wilderness Through Film : Using Photography and Videography To Document Wilderness Advocacy Endeavors
Sylvania - main floor Sat 1:30pm-2:15pm 
The Campaign to Save the Boundary Waters Presents a deep-dive into the usage of film and photography displaying the beauty of canoe country and how to document Adventure Advocacy endeavors in wild places. Their Adventure Advocacy program has brought the fight to protect the Boundary Waters to a national stage, thanks to the filmmakers and photographers behind the camera who documented these adventures. Alex Falconer's record setting "Boundary Waters Traverse' and Dave and Amy's "Year in the Wilderness" brought greater light to the importance of Protecting the Boundary Waters and Quetico Superior Ecosystem, while documenting incredible feats all in the name of Wilderness. Alex Falconer will discuss his work as a photographer and professional athlete, as well as how other adventurers can document and to advocate for Public Land protection. The Campaign to Save the Boundary Waters will also give a general update on our work to protect the BWCAW.
