Each year there are numerous opportunities to participate in volunteer projects that directly benefit the SNRA. There are many areas to join in and if you see another possible project please let us know! Encourage, your friends, family, co-workers, organization or church group to have a fun, team-building event in the Sawtooths!
ADOPT-A-TRAIL
The Sawtooth Society works with the Forest Service to identify trails in need of light maintenance work. The Forest Service provides equipment and safety instruction and you provide the “exercise”.
Befriend a beautiful section of trail and enjoy the great outdoors! Contact gary@sawtoothsociety.org or call 208.721.2909.
ADOPT-A-FENCE
The Sawtooth Society sponsors the Adopt-A-Fence project to reconstruct and rehabilitate the log worm fences that border public lands along Highways 21 and 75 in the SNRA.
The fences are an iconic signature of the SNRA, and the Society believes it is important to preserve their historic, aesthetic, and functional qualities so that people can enjoy them for future generations to come.
The Society recruits volunteers – individuals, families, and organized groups – to cut lodge pole pine trees for fence rails, butts and stays, and to rebuild fences. People interested in volunteering for an Adopt-A-Fence project should call 208.721.2909 or e-mail the Executive Director, Gary O’Malley at gary@sawtoothsociety.org.
ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY
The Society keeps two stretches through the SNRA free of litter. One section is on Highway 75 near Beaver Creek. The other is on Highway 21 west of Stanley.
We provide volunteers with plastic bags from the Idaho Department of Transportation with which to collect bottles, cans, paper and other cast off materials. Volunteers are needed!
Those interested should call 208.721.2909 or email the Executive Director at gary@sawtoothsociety.org.
