Aug. 2-9 - Bob Marshall Wilderness Weeds Project

Once again we're joining forces with the good folks at the Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation to host a weeklong stewardship project deep into the heart of the Bob.

This year the crew will be battling invasive weeds, specifically spraying, cutting and pulling Canadian Thistle.

Click here to check out some pics and a recap from a previous trip.

This year's trip includes travel days in and out of the wilderness, five days camped in the backcountry, with four of those days being work days and one being a well-earned day off, giving participants time to explore the area, hike to Gooseberry Cabin or fish the headwaters of the Middle Fork of the Flathead.
