DAYS
Join Montana BHA for a weekend of stewardship work as we improve the Trail Fork Bear Creek trail for hunters, anglers, and hikers on the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest near Ennis. Volunteers should expect to join us from 9am on Friday, July 28th to midafternoon Sunday, July 30th (single day attendance is considered if your schedule is limited, please reach out if you can only attend short-term). Exact meeting location and weekend details will be sent out to all RSVPs one week in advance. A limited carpool from Missoula and Bozeman will be available.
Basecamp will be the Bear Creek Bunkhouse where meals will be prepared and gear can be stored. Volunteers will camp near the bunkhouse and must be in good physical condition. Hikes will get longer each day as we travel to and from the project sites. The trails are used both by recreationists and hunters as the area boasts beautiful views and healthy populations of elk, mule deer, black bears and mountain goats. This is also grizzly country, meaning we'll be working in groups and taking the necessary precautions.
All work tools will be provided, but volunteers should bring and expect to carry their own camping/backpacking gear, work clothing, a water bottle, and personal necessities. Some meals will be provided including a dehydrated meal from our partners at Gastrognome!
There will be free time in the evenings to explore the surrounding area, and we encourage you to bring a fishing rod, binoculars, and anything else you need to enjoy a weekend in the backcountry! Better yet, come a day early or stay longer to float and fish the Madison river, some of the best trout fishing waters in Montana!
We are looking for 10-12 volunteers to complete this work, so please RSVP only if you are confident in your availability. Check your email after your RSVP for confirmation and further details.
