An organic farmer in Isanti, MN, Jerry Westrom has experience in areas ranging from crop revenue management to commodity brokerage. Alongside his work managing organic crop production in Isanti, MN, Jerry Westrom enjoys traveling to nearby wilderness areas, including the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW).
Formed by ancient glaciers that carved its spectacular rock formations, BWCAW encompasses more than 2000 campsites and 1200 miles of canoe routes. Part of the northern section of the Superior National Forest, this wilderness area attracts visitors who wish to canoe and portage like explorers of the past.
Visitors to the wilderness area have the opportunity to enter two monthly contests. The first, a photo contest, simply requires submission of a photo from the Boundary Waters or Quetico Wilderness. The second, a trip report contest, asks for a full day-to-day report on the entrant’s trip accompanied by pictures and colorful details about the experience.
