Project Description

This is an LGBTQ+ Community Space Trip in partnership with Great Northern Wilderness Guides! Join us for a mindful volunteer experience in the heart of Montana's wilderness.

Our crew was able to clear Nesbit Creek trail last year, and we want to keep it open! Your first objective will be using crosscut and handsaws to clear any trees that have fallen over the trail since it was cleared last year. Once cleared, the Route Creek Trail is in need of tread work, rock and root removal, and brushing where trees and shrubs are encroaching onto the trail.

 

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!
