It’s springtime again, and that can only mean one thing: It’s almost time to get back out into the wilderness backpacking, riding,floating, hiking, flying, fishing, camping, climbing, and sleeping under warm summer skies. And of course, let’s not forget about getting out into the wilderness to volunteer to take care of your favorite trail or wilderness area! We’ll be publishing our first-ever complete volunteer guide in late April, but between now and then you can view a preliminary list of our summer 2013 projects on our website. Aside from getting your gear in order and your tack cleaned, we’ve got plenty for you to do before summer hits: Http://www.selwaybitterroot.org
