Mother Earth didn’t give up her secrets in this part of Heaven On Earth!

I want to personally thank everyone that was involved in helping to get the word out about this project. I really believe that most people do not want a mine in their backyard or even in their State. Especially if it cannot be proven that there is a safe way to do it. Of which, still to this date there has been no known mine that has been safe not only to the environment but to it’s very own employee’s. Mine’s are dangerous, they harm the environment and they are far more trouble than they are worth! We as a society need to create better ways to source the Minerals they seek. Recycling would be the first big step! I myself have quite a few electronic devices sitting in the garage just waiting for my town’s “Annual Recycling Event.” Why wait a whole year? What usually ends up happening at these events? Most of the actual precious metals are never fully recovered. We live in a disposable society and that really needs to change! Anyways, again so many thank you’s go out to everyone involved!
I especially want to thank the Tribes that performed the Prayer Ribbon Ceremony on these lands! Despite Heartwood Forestry’s disrespect and total disregard by bulldozing most of them down, some remain to this day! I would like to believe that they helped protect the land, the plants, the animals and the water’s in this area that is so special to so many of us! Miigwech Chi-miigwech
These are a few images of why we were all working so hard to get the word out about Badger Minerals and their plans for the exploratory drilling project.
One last thing to think about, Heartwood Forestry clear cut over 150 acres of prime forestry land, for what? The market wasn’t in their favor. In fact, towards the end of the project in June, we actually saw several fully loaded logging trucks that had gone out, come back in to unload the timber they obviously couldn’t sell. All that destruction, during the Groshawks and Bald Eagles mating seasons, for what? I sure hope Badger Minerals paid you well Heartwood Forestry!
Good bye, Good Riddance!
PLEASE HELP US KEEP THE WOLF RIVER FLOWING CLEAN AND PURE!
