Project Description

The Pretty Prairie Area sees a lot of use, and there are numerous campsites in need of some rehab. Volunteers will focus on hand pulling Knapweed and Houndstongue on sites along the South Fork Sun River and in areas around the historic cabin. A representative from the Forest Service will be present to oversee the work, offering a unique inside look at how the USFS manages the landscape. Enjoy restful evenings on the Pretty Prairie Cabin Porch, or wading the Sun River with fly rod in hand fishing for Cutthroat Trout!

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!
