Although the 2011 Pagami Creek wildfire scarred the land, the forest is slowly regenerating. There are still scenic areas in the midst of the burned area like this pond. Learn more about the efforts to reestablish the PowWow Trail through the burned area in the Boundary Waters at a presentation in Duluth on January 9.
A free presentation entitled Wounded Land—Pow Wow Trail after the Pagami Creek Fire will be given by Martin Kubik at 7 p.m. Jan. 9 at the Hartley Nature Center in Duluth.
The Boundary Waters has over 200 miles of scenic and challenging backpacking trails. Kubik has dramatic photos of the Pow Wow Trail that capture the devastation that resulted from the 2011 Pagami Creek fire. Hear one volunteer’s vision to re-establish this magnificent trail, and find out what you can do to help bring the Pow Wow Trail back.
Kubik is a lifelong volunteer maintaining hiking trails in the BWCAW. He is founder of the Boundary Waters Advisory Commitee and the Kekekabic Trail Club, and a past recipient of the American Hiking Society “Volunteer of the Year Award.”
