Volunteer as a Trail Ambassador to help keep the Bozeman area’s most beloved trails wild. We’ll spend the day greeting guests at the trailhead, inventorying trails for maintenance needs, gathering visitor use data, and educating users about Leave No Trace practices and wilderness ethics. In celebration of National Trails Day, we’ll spend our first service day at the Lava Lake Trailhead outside the Lee Metcalf Wilderness.

About Wilderness WalksSince our first Wilderness Walk in 1960, thousands have joined our volunteer leaders on free outings in every corner of the state. Learn more about our Wilderness Walks here → About Wild MontanaSince 1958, we’ve been uniting and mobilizing people across Montana, creating and growing a conservation movement around a shared love of wild public lands and waters. We work at the local level, building trust, fostering collaboration, and forging agreements for protecting the wild, enhancing public land access, and helping communities thrive. Our work has resulted in 16 wilderness areas, the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument, and other legislative, administrative, and executive victories that have protected millions of acres of public lands from irresponsible development and degradation. In recent years, our work has expanded into the State Capitol, where we drive pro-conservation policies that help communities benefit from public lands. It’s expanded to the federal level, where we’re helping make conservation and the health of rural communities priorities for public land management agencies. And we are doing our part to make public land more accessible and welcoming for all people. Learn more at wildmontana.org |
