Project Description
Twentyfive Mile Creek a wild and dense part of the Bob known for its lush forests and its proximity to the Wild and Scenic Middle Fork Flathead River. This river helped inspire the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, and for good reason! You and your crew will be camped along the river, and working to clear the Twentyfive Mile Creek trail with crosscut saws. Expect full days of sawing followed by relaxing evenings lounging in camp, or wetting a line in the river for some Cutthroat Trout!
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!
