Join us for a project that pays it forward! We will be patrolling four routes in total, at two different locales within the eastside of the Colville Natl Forest: Aladdin Mountain and Squirrel Meadows. We will muster at the location linked below, just off of Hwy 20, and East of Hanks Butte Rd, about a 1/4 mile up Rocky Cr Rd. Our route patrol will include traversing each of the three routes on Aladdin, clearing them of winter blowdown, cutting all the fallen trees clear of the route, ensuring it is free and accessible for the entirety of each of those routes (the 330, 350, and 360 Roads). In addition, we will also inspect the two wheelchair platforms on the 360 Rd. If we have enough volunteers, we will send a team over to Squirrel Meadows at the same time to patrol that route and inspect the two platforms there. An advance team will head up to Tiger Meadows and establish a base camp for those who would like to stay overnight either Fri or Sat nights, or both. Whatever does not get completed on Saturday, we can finish on Sunday morning. Bring the kids, the ATV/UTV, and the dog. Let's make this a family friendly event, with some outdoor learning in camp: how to establish emergency shelter, knots for the outdoors, and ways to start a campfire. Have questions? Contact the Disabled Access Team at:access@inwc.org

Meet at the INWC Warehouse at 7am, get the wood duck boxes loaded, and then convoy north to Cusick and meet up with the Kalispel Wildlife Crew at the Camas Center on N LeClerc Rd at 8am. From there, we will disperse to several locations to get the wood duck boxes installed, for completion of an Eagle Scout project. Our Eagle Scout Candidate, and his troop mates will be take point, as expected for an Eagle Scout, and we will provide support.

Join us as we patrol two routes in the Colville National Forest (the 810 and the 830 Rds) that have been gated off for Disabled Access Only.

In addition - we will be installing a wheelchair hunting platform on the 830 Rd. Any work that does not get completed on Saturday, we will wrap up on Sunday. We will be camping overnight to make that easier, and usually share a group dinner around the campfire. Team leaders for the project will arrive on Friday to secure a camp area, feel free to join them! Bring the kids, the ATV/UTV, and the dog.
