The tax-deductable trip fee covers transportation from the Twin Cities,
food, and group equipment including canoes and tools. Trips leave from
the Twin Cities the evening of the listed start date and return the
evening of the listed end date.
Mechanized trips use chain saws, power brush cutters and other tools on
sections of the trail outside of the BWCAW. Wilderness trips use hand
tools to work on the portions of the trail that are subject to the BWCA
Wilderness Regulations. Those wanting to use two-person saws or
chainsaws are required to attend a full day of Forest Service Saw
Training on Saturday, April 18 or Sunday, April 19. The Forest Service
Saw Training is not a requirement for trip participation, as most trail
work is done with bow saws and brush cutting tools that can be used by
all volunteers.
