2024 Single-Day Volunteer Opportunities

Progress takes time on the landscape – but we are seeing it! Jump back in with us on this multi-year weed treatment at Livingston Peak – one of the iconic skylines in The AB. This project is a collaboration between ABWF, Park County Environmental Council, and the Livingston Bike Club. We will spend the day together coming to know local flora – invasive and non-invasive – while assisting in creating a regenerative habitat along this lovely mountaintop. Smile each day at Livingston Peak this year knowing that you and your community played a role in keeping our mountains wild.

Welcome to our 4th Annual Adventure Day of Wilderness skills and fun with young stewards from Eagle Mount Billings. This year’s events include identifying knapweed and a dedicated weed pull at Wild Bill Lake as well as learning tent set-up and other camp skills. The fun, as in past years, includes a hike around the lake and cookout at the picnic area. This has been an increasingly popular event with many returning high-energy participants. !We are looking for up to 10 volunteers willing to make a day of it teaching skills, managing groups between activities, or cooking for the group. The appreciation-quotient is high and this is regularly one of the highlights of our summer. Please join us.

Would you like to volunteer in a meaningful way and help protect the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness? Would you like to volunteer on your own schedule, and hike a beautiful trail while at it?

As a Trail Ambassador (TA), you will help educate visitors at popular trails about proper Leave No Trace (TA) principles, bear protocols, and more! The A-B needs us to identify high-use areas and help inform folks to responsibly access them.

Volunteering as a TA, you will travel to a high-use trail head and greet people as they enter the wilderness, kindly checking in with them to make sure they have the knowledge they need to reduce impact. As time and energy allows, we also welcome TA’s to hike the first few miles of the trail to survey impact and continue to greet hikers.

ABWF hosts an annual Trail Ambassador Training Day mid-May at the Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary in Red Lodge. With training led by ABWF staff, MT Fish Wildlife & Parks and Forest Service personnel, we will prepare volunteers how to engage safely with the public, share information about the trail and Wilderness area and more. Contact us if you are interested in learning more and becoming our next great Trail Ambassador.

Stay tuned for more information.

Each year we sponsor the first two miles of the Beartooth Highway from the state line into Montana. We will walk the two miles from the Stateline gathering garbage and catch a ride back to the pullout.
