Project Name: Jackson Creek
Project Dates: July 10-12
Join us for a three-day weekend project on the Jackson Creek Trail in the Salmo-Priest Wilderness. This beautiful stretch of trail is part of the Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail, and our work will focus primarily on logging out downed trees and restoring safe passage through the wilderness. We'll camp together at the trailhead and hike about two miles to the work site each morning.
This project is a collaborative effort with our partners at the Washington Trails Association (WTA). While their crew works east from the west end of Trail #311, we'll head west from the east end, meeting in the middle to reconnect this important wilderness route. It's a rewarding opportunity to be part of a cross-state partnership and help keep a nationally significant trail open and accessible.

Refundable deposit: $25
Why do I need to pay a deposit? We've had trouble with people backing out of trips at the last minute, which can really affect the productivity of the overall project. By charging a refundable fee, volunteers are less likely to cancel their reservations. Refunds will not be given to volunteers that do not show up or cancel their reservation. Exceptions will be made for medical reasons or unforeseen circumstances. Volunteers can choose to donate the deposit to ITA. All donations are tax-deductible and will go towards maintaining trails throughout Idaho. If you require assistance in paying for this fee, please contact us at trails@idahotrailsassociation.org and we will waive the cost.
