Weeds #3: North Fork Cabin

Type of Project:	backpacking, hand pulling & spraying weeds
Rating:	Moderate
Trip Dates:	07/06/2010 to 07/10/2010
Location:	Scapegoat Wilderness, SW Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex
Work:	For this project we’ll be revisiting an infestation of Yellow Toadflax that we worked on last season, help us restore native species and rid the North Fork of invasives! The work will be focused on eradicating weeds around the North Fork Cabin on the North Fork of the Blackfoot River. As a certified herbicide applicator, the BMWF crew leader will train each volunteer on plant identification and herbicide application to help us meet our goals. Volunteers on this project will be asked to handle herbicides under direct supervision as well as hand pulling invasive species. During down time, the North Fork waterfalls are not to be missed just a mile up the trail and the North Fork affords great fishing opportunities. Once you submit your registration to BMWF, you will receive more detailed project information including a suggested packing list and driving directions. This is a backcountry camping trip with primitive campsites and/or based around a FS cabin. BMWF will coordinate pack support to bring in tools, food, group gear and maybe some personal gear. You will be asked to provide your own gear and assist in camp chores. Sturdy boots, long pants and work gloves are required. All tools, safety gear and food will be provided.
