Memorial Day Chainsaw Extravaganza!
May 24-27 (out and back daily)
This is the first project done every season and the goal is to clear the trails out of camp up to the wilderness boundary.
We will be doing two days of clearing trails directly from the camp until cleared to the wilderness boundary where crosscut saws are required. All teams will return to camp at the end of the day.
Some brushing work and tread repair may be needed as well.
See more detailed information on this project.

Crosscut Extravaganza
May 31-June 3 (out and back daily)
This is a continuation of the work that started with clearing trails out of Black Pine camp. We will be working primarily on trails starting within the wilderness boundary and continue on as conditions and weather permit. We will be working on Jack Creek trail up to the creek crossing, Trout trail, and Icicle trail up to the creek (bridge is still out and water level will be too high to cross).
See more detailed information on this project.

Pack Stock and Hiker Teams Logout
June 14 - 18 (out and back daily)
This project will continue the trail clearing primarily of Jack Creek trail and Trout trail. Additionally, another team will start work at the Icicle/French Cr. junction and logout the French Creek trail to Snowall Cradle. We will be moving further than the previous two work parties since we will now have pack support from private pack stock owners to move more gear and heavy tools.
A packing clinic will be held simultaneously in Black Pine camp and those interested in gaining first-hand packing experience can follow up to the Meadow Creek hunter camp (7.5 miles in) if stream conditions are safe at that time. We are still planning to return to Black Pine camp at the end of each day.

4th of July Pack in to Hunter Camp
July 3 - 9 (camp at Meadow Creek camp)
Most of the trail clearing by previous work parties will now enable us to plan a full pack-in camp to the Meadow Creek hunter camp where we will establish our base camp. BCHW packers will provide support for this event. From this camp we will start clearing trail as far as possible along the Meadow Creek trail up to the French Creek trail junction if time allows. A second work party will work on clearing the Cradle Lake trail up to Cradle lake. All work parties will return to Meadow Creek camp at the end of the day.
