Lend a Hand to the Land

Around Montana, the season of giving doesn’t quite line up with the Holidays. Instead, it kicks into full swing when the weather warms up. And we’re not talking about gifts wrapped with a bow, but the countless opportunities to get outside and lend a hand to the nonprofits working hard to keep our trails and rivers in shape all season long. From recurring weekly trail days and river cleanups to larger, can’t-miss annual events, there’s no shortage of ways to get involved. That said, it can be tough to keep track of what’s happening when, and which cleanup parties to make sure to circle on the calendar.

Consider this your one-stop shop for volunteering this season. Scan your schedule, find a day that works, and pick your project—whether it’s digging trail or cleaning up access sites. There’s plenty to be done, so get after it!
