Project Name: Stonebraker 

Project Dates: May 18 – 22 

This fly-in project will drop volunteers deep in the backcountry in the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. We'll fly into Chamberlain Basin backcountry airstrip and hike to Stonebraker Ranch (or if conditions allow, fly right to Stonebraker). Camping on the ranch property, we'll have access to the amenities of Stonebraker, a kitchen with a cook and showers! We'll work on clearing the trail that runs east from Stonebraker down WF Chamberlain Creek from the end of the runway. All on Idaho Fish and Game property, this trail is popular for folks fishing or who fly to Chamberlain to camp and hike locally. If time allows we will work on the Forest Service Queen Creek Trail, which runs north from WF Chamberlain Creek at the east end of the Stonebraker property.
