This year's grant supported Conservation Northwest, the Spokane Mountaineers, and Washington Trails Association to organize and participate in nine trail work parties in the Salmo-Priest Wilderness area on the Colville National Forest in the far northeast corner of Washington. Approximately 45 volunteers participated in these work parties, where logging out trails with crosscut saws and other hand saws was the primary goal. In addition to the work parties, members of the North Idaho Mule Club and Forest Service fire fighters opened up several sections of Wilderness trails. At each of the work parties Conservation Northwest coordinated and often worked with forest service recreation staff. Because of these combined efforts, nearly all of the Salmo-Priest Wilderness Area’s trails were cleared for the first time in several years.
