Giving “Boots in The Bob” a different meaning! Soggy days out on the trail have us thankful for warm fires to dry our wet boots around! Our recent crew working in the Middle Fork of the Flathead drainage endured some wet weather...but they were champs and worked with big smiles the entire time. But we won’t talk about the odor these boots were giving off! #lovethebob #stinkyboots #sogfest

Meet one of our Packer Apprentices @elana_james! Elana has been learning all sorts of new skills and getting to enjoy all that The Bob has to offer! She’s been helping pack our crews in and out, as well as helping to re-supply some of the Forest Service backcountry cabins and lookouts. Not a bad way to learn the ins and outs of packing! Just one more opportunity to #lovethebob! #bobmarshallwilderness #trails #packing pc 📸: @elana_james

How do you get 400lbs of knapweed down the river? Strap it onto a boat of course! These hearty volunteers spent time in the blazing sun pulling and bagging knapweed along the South Fork River. That’s about 234,497,554,32 noxious weed seeds that will not spread dower the wild and scenic river! Wahoo volunteers!! #bobmarshallwilderness #lovethebob

It’s #plasticfreejuly! Did you know that every single volunteer is given a free Stasher Bag to use while out on the trail, so we’re not throwing away plastic bag after plastic bag? These gals from our recent Girls in the Bob trip sure are excited about them! And a HUGE thanks to @stasherbag for they’re generous donation to make this possible! We LOVE reusable products! #plasticfreejuly #lovethebob

It’s not all trails and Wilderness here at BMWF...we also get down in the kitchen prepping for trips! Homemade strawberry sauce for our 4th of July dessert is in the works this morning. Girls in the Bob hits the trail tomorrow, and they’ll get this sweet treat on night one of their trip! We take pride in feeding our volunteers yummy food...just one more perk of joining us on a project! #trailsandtreats #lovethebob

Happy July friends! Hard to believe mid-summer is upon us! We’ve got a lot to celebrate this month, and of course the 4th of July reminds us to be thankful for our freedom, our independence, and all the amazing public lands we have access to. Give yourself a treat, and get out there and enjoy it! This amazing shot taken by USFS packer Mike Reavis reminds us to take a moment and appreciate the beauty! Our former BMWF board chair, and retired USFS Hungry Horse and Spotted Bear employee Fred Flint raises the flag at Big Prairie. That moment when the sun shines through the tattered old flag...pure beauty! 🇺🇸🌞✌🏼 #lovethebob #wilderness #publiclands #july #happy4th #hiketohunt

Beautiful shot heading down the trail along Swift Reservoir. Packer extraordinaire Keith and his critters heading in to pack out our weeds crew, with the help of Susan, one of our packer apprentices. Our work would be SO much harder without the help of our volunteer packers! We are so grateful for them as well as their 4 legged friends! So if you come out on a trip with us, don’t forget to thank your packer...they’re volunteers too!! . . #trails #weeds #volunteer #wilderness #getoutside #sawbuck pc 📸: Susan Wheeler

Nothing makes us happier than a couple of volunteers taking a moment to steal a cute pic!

Field training continues...and we think it’s safe to say good times were had by all! Campsite set up, LNT, trailwork, and evenings around the campfire. Our season is shaping up nicely, and we’re more confident each day we’ve got a great crew on our hands! See you on the trail soon! #lovethebob #fieldseason #training #isthisanardvark?

Wilderness 101, bear safety, weather forecasts, radio use, crosscut saw maintenance...we covered a lot today! We’re getting these crew leaders and interns ready to spend a summer in The Bob. It’s not easy keeping outdoors’y folks inside all day, but they’re handling it like champs and are ready to get in the field! We are too! #lovethebob #orientation #training #nextgenstewards

Please join us in wishing Meg a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Her title as ‘Stewardship Coordinator’ only expresses a fraction of what she does at the BMWF. Meg is the glue that holds this place together. Whether it’s training crew leaders, building turnpikes, putting together large fundraisers, designing newsletters or teaching volunteers how to analyze a bind. This girl does it all with class and style. She likes her coffee with coconut creamer and her whisky straight. Cheers to Meg, we love you and Happy Birthday 🎊

In addition to our 40 volunteer crews led by 5 crew leaders, 4 Wilderness Ranger interns, 3 Wilderness Conservation Corps interns and 2 packer apprentices...(phew, that’s a lot) we ALSO have a Pro-crew this summer! These 5 trail dawgs will be based out of the Monture guard station near Seeley Lake and working on clearing trails effected by the 2017 rice ridge fire. The BMWF is thankful to have so many boots on the ground getting it done on our #publiclands! #bobmarshallwilderness #lovethebob #sharedstewardship
