Project Description
Thank you Bigfork High School for your help with this project!
After meeting your crew leader in Hungry Horse, you and you crew will caravan up the Hungry Horse Reservoir road to your camp along the Spotted Bear River. Your objective is to use crosscut and hand saws to clear the Sergeant Creek Trail of downed trees, making it more accessible for future hikers and horseback riders. The work will be challenging, but rewarding. At the work days end, evenings fishing the Spotted Bear river, eating good food and hanging round a campfire will be a sweet reward for your efforts. This is sure to be a fun and memorable experience for you and your fellow classmates.
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!
