Whatever it is, let’s keep it wild. In fact, Keep Jumbo Wild Forever.
Keep the wild, wild, I say. And so says Patagonia and the crew over at Sweetgrass.

The narration to the trailer (the movie “Jumbo Wild” comes out this fall) speaks like a poem:
The idea of the wild is
When you can actually walk through a landscape that is
Without roads,
Where the sky is not scraped
By airplanes
But by raptors.
A place where the trails are delineated
By the footsteps of wildlife.
A place where
Wolf and grizzly bear
Still exist.
The wild is a place where
You can be robbed
For the forces of nature.

For more backstory per Patagonia: “For decades, First Nations, conservationists, backcountry skiers and snowboarders have fought a proposed large-scale ski resort deep in the Purcell Mountains of British Columbia. After 24 years of opposition, what more will it take to keep Jumbo wild for good?”
I’m not sure what it will take, but I hope for all of our sakes we give it all we got.
