Work:	Want to spend the weekend camping out, floating the river AND helping out? Look no further! This is the second trip to complete a comprehensive inventory of noxious weeds on the Lower South Fork Flathead River to the Hungry Horse Reservoir. We'll be floating the South Fork of the Flathead River from the South Fork Bridge to the Crossover Boat Ramp to GPS inventory noxious weed populations. Then we'll return to Spotted Bear Ranger Station to enjoy an evening BBQ, bathroom facilities and a night under the stars. Sunday we will float again and continue with our mapping and add some hand pulling to combat these invaders. Join us to help fight weeds on this designated Wild & Scenic river! This is a car camping trip with bathroom facilities. Participants should bring a daypack with lunch (for Saturday), snacks, water (3 liters recommended) and lightweight rain gear. BMWF will provide dinner on Saturday, breakfast and lunch on Sunday. You will be asked to provide your own camping gear and assist in camp chores.
