Project Description
The Devil Creek trail enters the Great Bear Wilderness in the brushy Middle Fork Flathead River Corridor. Your help is needed to clear this trail of downfall so that future volunteer groups can work on the trails accessed from Devil Creek. Your crew’s first priority will be using crossscut and hand saws to clear the trail of downfall. Once this task is completed, your crew will then use loppers to tackle any brush that is encroaching along the trail corridor.
This project is two single days of work. Come for both, or just one! Volunteers are welcome to camp at the trailhead overnight but will be on their own for dinner/breakfast. Either way, please complete our registration page below and email Ian at ian@bmwf.org if you’ll only be attending a single day.
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!
