This proposed metallic sulfide mine would be the closest to Lake Superior in history as well as bordering the North Country Trail and Porcupine Mountain State Park - which is not only the largest State Park in Michigan, it is the largest designated Wilderness Area in mainland Michigan with 40,000+ acres of designated Wilderness including 35,000 acres of old growth forest which is the largest tract of mixed coniferous-deciduous old growth remaining in the Midwest. It was recently ranked as "most beautiful State Park in the country." The Michigan Strategic Fund is currently considering a $50M grant to the proposed Copperwood metallic sulfide mine - this move would be an incredibly irresponsible use of taxdoller money and most likely open the door to additional investment and funding that would help the foreign energy company get the necessary resources to start development. Tom goes in-depth in the episode to how we got here, what's at stake and all of the current calls to action that we're encouraging folks to take. Please join us in taking action and spreading the word to your friends! /// EPISODE 44

When you think of a wilderness area, you may think of some form of a natural area. Erik Fernandez from Oregon Wild explains to us the depths of what a wilderness area actually encompasses. And why sometimes they have rules that limit your ability to ride your bike.

Join Frances Anderson and I in the woods in Southwestern Nova Scotia with a couple of hand lenses. We spend a fascinating morning of lichen discovery in an area of forest on the South Shore of Minamkeak Lake near Bridgewater. Former librarian Frances Anderson began studying lichens in 2000. Since then she has explored thousands of kilometers of back woods in Nova Scotia, discovered lichen species new to the province and to the Maritimes, written and co-authored over a dozen papers on lichens and a field guide designed to bring (sometimes mysterious) lichens to the general public. She is a Research Associate at the Nova Scotia Museum.Frances explains what lichens are, how they reproduce, and what roles they have within the ecosystem, how they can assist in air pollution monitoring, some applications in medicine, and also Frances talks about how much we still don't know about lichens! You can find supplementary photos of some lichens that go with the audio on our facebook page.

The Boundary Waters is 1.1 million acres of incredible glaciated terrain way up in northern Minnesota on the Canada border, and yet is the most-visited Wilderness Area in the United States. Because it is so good. Even if YOU have never been there! "Boundary Waters is as remote as it gets. Alex had everything dialed - those people are hard-core canoists - they paddled over two hours to get to the support locations!" - Clare "This is an incredible idea Alex had - he combined his ultra running passion with his passion to protect this place." - Clare "This is one of the most pristine places on planet Earth - you just dip your bottle into the lake or stream and drink without any filtration". - Alex "It was next level! I've never seen anything like it - it's the most wet I've ever been on land - it was so hard-core Minnesota!" - Clare Please listen to Clare, and support Alex and this fabulous wilderness The Boundary Waters is under threat from a proposed massive sulfide-ore copper mine that, if built, would generate acid mine drainage in the form of sulfuric acid and flow straight through the heart of the Wilderness and also into Canada's Quetico Provincial Park and Voyageurs National Park. The mine site and waste rock tailings would perpetually pollute turning this world class wilderness and pristine watershed into a polluted chain of lakes, rivers, streams and marshes forever.

Smith, the mother-daughter publisher team of Big Blend Magazines and full-time travelers on the Love Your Parks Tour, for Big Blend Radio’s Fall Festival “Vacation Station” travel show with travel writer Debbie Stone who shares how there’s “Plenty Good with North Dakota’s Badlands!” As covered in her article on NationalParkTraveling.com, Debbie talks about her adventures in Theodore Roosevelt National Park, that protects over 70,000 acres, spread across three sectors: South Unit, North Unit, and Elkhorn Ranch Unit. Of the total acres, nearly 30,000 have been designated Wilderness Area. The South and North Units offer scenic drives, miles of trails, and opportunities to view wildlife. The Elkhorn Ranch Unit is the site of Roosevelt’s ranch, but only the cornerstones of his cabin remain. Along with the park, hear about Medora, a quaint, tiny, Old West town that’s chockful of activities, as well as restaurants, shops, and lodging. Highlights include the North Dakota Cowboy Hall of Fame, De Mores State Historic Site, Bully Pulpit Golf Course, “The Teddy Roosevelt Show,” and the Medora Fudge and Ice Cream Depot. Featured music is “Great Blue Sky” from the album “As Things Could Be” by Evren Ozan.

On November 16th, 2015 seven men set out to hunt Lily Pond Road at the Lake George Wilderness Area in Upstate New York . The men were all experienced hunters, had communication devices, were not far from their camp, and were on a commonly used road. After hunting for a couple of hours the group decided to return to their cars. Tom Messick, who was sitting in one spot about 40 yards from the main road, was never seen or heard from again.  The following day, an extensive search and rescue operation was launched in the immediate area of his disappearance. At the peak of the search, over 50 organizations and upwards of 300 searchers were trying to find Tom. The search failed to find Tom or any evidence he had even been in the woods that day. How could an experienced hunter have gone missing in such a short period of time? Why did two FBI agents show up? Join us this week as we piece together the bizarre details behind the disappearance of Tom and search efforts that followed.  This episode is brought to you by Verdure, a company that strives to offer only the highest quality and locally sourced CBD products all made in the USA.    Learn about other unsolved missing persons cases in America's wilderness at Locations Unknown.

March 10, 2016 Trail Cast Show Page ABOUT THIS EPISODE Drew is joined by guest, Ashley Korenblat. Ashley wrote a guest editorial on Mtbr.com titled “Say no to the Sustainable Trails Coalition” in December. Ashley is a former IMBA board president and CEO of Western Spirit Cycling Adventures in Moab, Utah. Wilderness access for mountain bikes and the stance of IMBA and the Sustainable Trails Coalition are divisive issues among mountain bikers, and are drawing a lot of attention from riders, local IMBA Chapters, and everyone involved with Wilderness Area access. If you or someone you know is in charge of trail projects or organizing work days for your group, Drew wants you to email him. Share your projects and when your work days are, and he’ll share that information in future episodes.
