Trail Building–Beaver Pond Loop Trail
Join the Washington Trails Association as we build a new trail on the Refuge. Spend a weekend spent in Northeastern Washington, in the heart of the Little Pend Oreille Wildlife Refuge. The Friends of Little Pend Oreille have been working hard to preserve and promote this unique and beautiful area. WTA has been asked to assist these efforts by developing a new loop trail will provide even better access for the many visitors who come to view wildlife or recreate in the area. This is a weekend work party so you can join us for either one or both days! A camping area will be available for those who want to stay overnight and we will have a BBQ on Saturday evening for everyone. Tools and hardhats provided.
