Boundary Waters Podcast Ep. 119 – Access to Wild Places

In this episode of the Boundary Waters Podcast we talk to Chris Evavold, longtime BWCAW paddler and advocate for wild places. He shares his thoughts about the value and legacy of public lands and tells some stories about traveling as a family over many years, and in all seasons.

In the second half of the podcast we talk with Cory Dack, a wilderness guide, youth instructor and world adventurer. Cory digs deep into the subject of equal access to public land and wild spaces, and the barriers often encountered by people of color, who, like others, are often in search of a more meaningful connection to wild places and wilderness areas like the BWCAW.

Boundary Waters Podcast is supported in part by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
