Working our way across the 300 rod portage heading north out of Gun Lake we came across a group of people working for the Minnesota Conservation Corps. They were a trail maintenance crew out rebuilding the portage. If you are looking for a great summer gig check them out at www.conservationcorps.org.

Was this on the trip we took? Great idea for a show. I’d like to see more segments like this one.
Thanks!
Very nice show! Thanks for the most recent episode!
This is really cool! Always nice to see people who appreciate the work we do in the BWCA. I was on a summer crew this year working in the SNF and had the pleasure of working on some portages between Kawasachong Lake and Lake Polly. It’s really an incredible experience doing this type of service. Since then I’ve taken a position at the Conservation Corps MN central office working in the development department and have plans to return to the forest this summer as a crew leader.
I would really like to post a link to this on our website.
