Project Name: Lewis and Clark Trail Bridge
Project Dates: June 11-14
The Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest has asked ITA to assist with repairs to a trail bridge near the Lolo Creek Campground, between Kamiah and Pierce. This bridge is part of the Lolo Trail, an historic route of the Nez Perce (Ni-mii-puu) people and near Lewis and Clark Grove, where part of the expedition camped in 1805. This trail has been designated as a national historic landmark, situated in a beautiful old growth forest.
We will car camp nearby and help repair the bridge where it crosses Ceder Creek. ITA leaders and Forest Service staff will be on site to help guide repairs. Simple carpentry work is expected; no experience needed from volunteers!
Project information is subject to change. Crew leaders will communicate via email. Failure to respond to your crew leader may result in being dropped from the project. See our FAQs, reach out to your crew leader, or contact ITA staff at trails@idahotrailsassociation.org if you have questions.

Refundable deposit: $50
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 reservation. 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.
