Project Description
If you have traveled the Middle Fork River Corridor before, then you know the meaning of brush. This wet corridor boasts lush vegetation that is ever encroaching on hiking trails. Your help is needed to open up a particularly brushy portion of trail and tame the alder. With loppers and hand saws as your weapons, your crew will be spending your work days on the Big River Trail making sure those on foot or hoof are able to pass safely for years to come. Enjoy restful evenings hanging out on the river at days end fishing or swimming! You’ll be treated to a day off mid-week to explore or relax around camp.
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!
