Project Description
At the end of Spotted Bear Road, where the road gives way to wilderness, lies the remote trailhead of Gorge Creek – and that’s where your adventure begins! With a dedicated crew of fellow volunteers, you’ll put your skills to work using crosscut saws to clear the Gorge Creek trail of any downfall, ensuring this hidden gem remains accessible for others to explore.
But the fun doesn’t stop there! After a rewarding day of stewardship, you’ll spend your evenings relaxing under the stars at camp, sharing stories and making new friends. For those craving more adventure, you can take a short drive to the Meadow Creek trailhead and cast a line in the South Fork Fathead River for some world-class fly fishing in the stunning Meadow Creek Gorge.
It’s a chance to give back to the trails, enjoy nature at its finest, and connect with like-minded volunteers in a truly unforgettable setting. Come be a part of something special!
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!
