Project Description
Join us for an overnight campout and celebrate the Fourth of July with this opportunity to learn about, and help to control, invasive weeds. We will spend the night at Monture near the southern edge of the Bob Marshall Wilderness on the 4th, and the following morning carpool up to Lodgepole Creek trailhead where we will begin our work of removing weeds from areas along the trail. Our hike will take us to the Wilderness boundary at Youngs Pass, where we will enjoy a mighty view of The Bob. Hike out and head home to enjoy the rest of your weekend knowing you made a difference in the Bob.
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!
