Safety is BWAC's #1 priority.

This orientation session is required if you are volunteering for a 2021 fall Powwow Trail clearing trip. Those considering a trip in the future or wanting to find out more about what it's like to volunteer on a trail clearing crew are also welcome.

6:30 to 7:15 pm
BWAC trip leaders will present on:
-- a "day in the life" of a BWAC trail clearing volunteer
-- tools, trail standards, and introduction to safety
-- gear highlights and possible resources
-- apparel and layers for a spring trip
-- Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness Rules and Regulations

7:15 to 7:30 pm
"Meet & greet" breakout with your unique crew.
-- Meet your crew and crew leaders
-- Forms: liability release, emergency contact, health & medical form
-- Gear: individual or group; sharing, needs or concerns
-- Timing, scheduling, trip plan, carpools

There will be an information session/Q&A from 7:15 to 7:30 for those not registered for a fall trip but who would like to find out more about BWAC trips and and volunteer opportunities.

Thank you for choosing to volunteer with the Boundary Waters Advisory Committee, an all-volunteer Minnesota nonprofit that has been keeping wilderness trails on the map since 2002. We look forward to meeting you and enjoying a rewarding wilderness experience with you.

Midwest Mountaineering closes at 8:00 p.m. Our presentation will start promptly at 6:30 p.m. and will be done by 7:50 p.m.
