Project Description

Help get the Thunder Creek Trail in shape for summer. Volunteer “swampers” will work with a PNTA sawyer, rolling log rounds and removing cut branches from the trail corridor.

When the team enters the Salmo-Priest Wilderness, volunteers will have an opportunity to take turns using a two-person crosscut saw to clear the trail. We can also spot maintain the tread, clear drains, and prune back brush along the way.

No trail crew experience is necessary for this event. The PNTA provides tools, personal protective equipment, and training. Just bring yourself, your daypack, and a thirst for a rewarding day on the trail!

Crew leaders work on the trail for the duration of the trip, but volunteer crew members are free to participate for as long as they like.

See Resources (below) for Frequently Asked Questions and daypack recommendations.
