Project Description

Thank you to the Kalispell Daybreak Rotary for joining us in the Bob! Meet your crew on Wednesday evening to camp at Challenge Cabin and be ready to hit the trail first thing on Thursday. The Wild and Scenic Middle Fork of the Flathead River will be home as you use crosscut saws to clear the trail to Red Plume Mountain. Be prepared for heavy lifting and a steep hike to and from the work site every day. With a day off mid-week to explore, fish, or just relax on the river, this is sure to be a rewarding week of work with beautiful views of the Great Bear Wilderness.

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!
