Safety is BWAC's #1 priority.

This orientation session is required if you are volunteering for a 2021 spring Powwow Trail clearing trip. If you are considering a trip later this year or curious about what it's like to volunteer on a trail clearing crew, this virtual event is a good opportunity to find out more.

Those registered for a spring trip will receive a McKenzie BWCAW map for the Powwow Trail. Administrative permits to enter the BWCAW are provided by BWAC's trail partner, the United States Forest Service.
