The Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation is looking for volunteers this summer for a variety of projects. Consider this a working volunteer vacation into one of the most pristine wildernesses in the country. Projects include river and trail maintenance and clean up; if you're passionate about conservation and the outdoors, each trip sounds like a good time!

From the Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation: "Volunteer work trips range from one day or weekend, to week-long adventures backpacking, rafting and camping in the backcountry. It's work, but it is in one of the most beautiful places on earth, and there will be ample time for exploring the wonderland you are working in."

Montana's Bob Marshall Wilderness spans more than one million acres of wilderness along the Continental Divide. For more information on the Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation and volunteer opportunities, check the volunteer schedule and trip list.
