TRIP CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19:   Be a part of the stewardship legacy of the first long-distance wilderness hiking and backpacking trail in Minnesota! The Border Route Trail is a rugged 65-mile-long hiking trail that traverses the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) in the far northeast corner of Minnesota and follows the international border between Minnesota and Ontario. The trail follows ridgelines wherever feasible, offering expansive views across the BWCAW and Canada. It is rugged and primitive in nature,…

TRIP CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19:   Canaan Mountain Backcountry is located on a high elevation plateau ranging in elevations from 3,100 to 4,145 feet. This is a semi-primitive area that includes many seasonally wet places. Poor drainage from trail surfaces, dense rhododendron thickets, and broken bog crossing structure have diminished the quality of recreation opportunities in the area. This trail section currently doesn't receive much day to day use due to present conditions, making this a severely underutilized trail that…

TRIP CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19:   Camp on the high plains of central Wyoming. Enjoy the wild west frontier and see what the pioneers of the great American westward expansion saw almost 200 years ago. The Interpretive Natural Trail is a National Recreation Trail and is handicap accessible. In order to maintain this accessibility, trail maintenance must be performed annually including the addition of new gravel/ trail base. Accommodations will be located at the work site, at the Lodgepole Campground…

TRIP CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19:   Big Creek Canyon has long been a major thoroughfare and destination for Native American Indians, trappers, and mountain travelers in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. The trail threads through a beautiful glacier-carved canyon and provides a perfect backdrop for a wilderness experience. With basecamp at the beautiful Big Creek Lake, SBFC Staff, Interns and AHS Volunteers will use crosscuts and single-bit axes to clear this well-used trail around the lake to the famous Packbox Pass. Once…

We are "connecting communities, their schools, and the natural areas in between." The crew will build small bridges, drainage ditches, stone structures, and surface parts of the trail with gravel to make it universally accessible. Contribute to the foundation of a sustainable trail that is connecting communities across the entire state!

TRIP CANCELLED due to COVID-19:   Volunteers will perform trail maintenance, noxious weeds eradication and recreation site maintenance. The crew will be transported to and from base camp to the work areas via carpools and or boat with minimal hiking involved. Dependent on the weather, projects may be performed on outer islands. Volunteers will be engaged with a handful of other agency representatives in the San Juan Islands and also working outside of Bureau of Land Management lands. It takes…

TRIP CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19:   After three major floods in a two year time frame, resources that would normally go into trail maintenance have gone into flood clean-up. The Goat Loop Trail and Stry Wold Trail have almost completely naturalized as a result. Help with clearing these two trails, potentially re-routing trails so that hikers no longer get lost in these beautiful spots, will be a priority. Working on the trails surrounding the Poplar Creek will be another priority.…
