Project Description
Slow down and take a breath at serene Swan Lake when you join a PNTA crew for a day of trail maintenance on the PNT: Swan Loop TR 5300-071 and Swan Butte Cutoff TR 5314-640.
Help clear a path thru the PNT by joining this log out party as a “swamper” who follows behind a PNTA sawyer, rolling log rounds and tossing branches off the trail. Crew members will also use dirt work tools, loppers and handsaws to trim back brush and saplings growing in the trail, as vegetation rallies back from the 2015 Northstar Fire.
No trail crew experience necessary: the PNTA provides tools, personal protective equipment, and training. Just bring yourself, your daypack, and a thirst for a rewarding day on the trail! (And maybe your swimsuit and fly fishing gear, too!)
