Project Description
The Flathead Mountain Range in the Great Bear Wilderness can be notoriously brushy. We need help keeping the brush at bay along the Dickey Creek trail to make this day hike much more pleasant for hikers! Your crew will use crosscuts, handsaws, and loppers to help open up the trail corridor. There will also be some treadwork as needed. A visit to beautiful Dicky Lake will be your reward for helping keep this trail in good shape.
Big thanks to Youth in Restoration for your partnership!
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!
