Project Description
We are partnering with our friends at Wild Montana to work on a trail in the Great Bear Panhandle along Hwy 2 for this national day of service to Public Lands. We will work with the Hungry Horse Ranger District to determine a location of greatest need. Location will be determined 10 days prior to the work day. We will be prepared for lots of blowdown and even more alder and devils club. We will be sawing, brushing, hacking and if we’re lucky, picking some of the season’s remaining huckleberries!
BMWF and Wild Montana provide skilled crew leaders, group gear, tools and safety equipment. Please pack a sack lunch from home.

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.
