I went to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to help my friend Peter Olsen shoot footage of this incredible place that he will include in a documentary he is making about the naturalist author Sigurd Olson.

Sigurd was instrumental in getting the Wilderness Act of 1964 passed and the Boundary Waters, over one million acres in northern Minnesota, was the first piece of land  that was designated under the new act.

Check out what Peter is up to with the film here:  http://singingwilderness.net/wordpress/
