BWAC Leadership Retreat

Members of our team gathered this past weekend in Ely for leadership training.

Our group this weekend had a collective of over 113 years of experience clearing trails in wilderness areas.

The purpose of the multi-day training was to highlight safety and leadership practices utilized while maintaining trails across the BWCAW, and to begin preliminary plans for the upcoming spring trail maintenance season.

Attendees also enjoyed the natural wonder and beauty of the BWCAW area, getting outside together to enjoy the snow during breaks.

The training also included a visit from United States Forest Service Trails & Volunteer Coordinator Mike Running.
