Project Description
Meet your crew on Friday evening to set up camp and be ready to hit the trail first thing on Saturday! Your crew will use crosscut saws to clear the Deer Creek Trail in the Benchmark area of the Bob. This trail is cleared annually, and is a popular day hike for folks who are not able to travel as deep into the wilderness. This trip will offer up a great introduction to crosscut saw use.
Return to the South Fork Sun Campground in the evenings for good food and company after a satisfying day of work. The perfect way to spend a beautiful June weekend!
Cancellation Policy
It is very important to know that you are expected to commit to the project once you sign up. All of our projects take a lot of time and effort to organize and we want to make sure that we have full trips so that we can complete the project as outlined by our Forest Service partners. Please do not sign up for a trip unless you are committed to doing it.
We do, of course, understand that things happen and circumstances change, so if you must cancel, please do so as soon as possible. Cancellations made less than 45 days before the trip and no-shows will forfeit their project registration deposit as a cancellation fee.
While uncommon, BMWF may find it necessary to cancel a project due to low volunteer sign-ups or safety reasons (i.e. wildfires), but will contact volunteers as soon as possible and typically no later than two weeks before the project start date. For this reason we strongly recommend volunteers purchase trip insurance when making airline reservations or other travel arrangements.
To see how many spots are available click the SIGN UP button below. The second page will tell you when there are fewer than 4 spots remaining on a trip.
We encourage you to join the waitlist if a trip is full – we often have openings for these spots throughout the summer!
