> Enjoy the beauty of the northern Rockies and help protect public wildlands.  Volunteers needed for summer field projects and wild country exploration.  Please join experienced leaders for weekend trips in the Great Burn and surrounding roadless backcountry.  We will be monitoring weeds, wildlife, trail conditions, signs, and other information critical to the understanding and management of northern Rockies wildlands.  Backcountry experience is helpful but not necessary.  There will be a brief, mandatory pre-trip meeting before each excursion.
