Weeds #4: Cabin Creek

Type of Project:	backpacking, hand pulling & spraying weeds
Rating:	Moderate
Trip Dates:	07/14/2010 to 07/20/2010
Location:	Scapegoat Wilderness, SW Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex
Work:	Do you love our beautiful native Montana plant species? Then get out there and help us fight noxious weeds in the wilderness! This project will work on Spotted Knapweed infestations in the tributaries of the North Fork of the Blackfoot River in the Scapegoat Wilderness. This area was burned in the Canyon Creek Fire of 1988 and weeds have taken root following that disturbance. 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. Enjoy stunning sunsets and the rosy glow of Evans Peak (8,979ft) from the expansive bottomlands of the Dry Fork/Cabin Creek confluence near camp. 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. 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.
