Project Description
The Two Medicine River will be your home for the week while working within the Badger-Two Medicine Region. Trail #136 connects the river to the Continental Divide Trial, and is in need of lots of deferred maintenance in the form of brushing out the trail corridor and clearing drains and check dams. With loppers and picks in hand, your crew will work to bring this overlooked trail back to life. Enjoy a day off mid-week to rest up with a book at camp, or go explore nearby trails.
This trip is sponsored by Glacier-Two Medicine Alliance. The Glacier-Two Medicine Alliance is excited to share the Badger-Two Medicine with people new to the area! A staff member will be joining the trip and hosting a campfire chat to share what their organization does. Glacier-Two Medicine Alliance works to protect and steward the lands, water, and wildlife of the Badger-Two Medicine, Glacier National Park and surrounding areas of Montana.
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.

We encourage you to join the waitlist if a trip is full – we often have openings for these spots throughout the summer!
