Welcome to the Prickly Pear Land Trust

Trail Workday Schedule

For the sixth year, Prickly Pear Land Trust is coordinating trail work on the Helena Open Lands. Once again we have some great community projects lined up. Here is a glimpse of the trail projects we will be working on this summer.

Date and Time The Trail
Monday, September 8
Thanks to the Montana Conservation Corps, we were able to complete the trail link from Mount Ascension's east side to Arrowroot Road scheduled to be built September 8th. We encourage you to join us for all or part of the trail work weekend September 13th & 14th. For more information, please view the details in our trail workday schedule. Thank you!
Saturday, September 13

Work on a section of the Continental Divide Trail near Bison Mountain. This project is a partnership of the High Divide Trials Partnership including PPLT, Montana Wilderness Association, Great Divide Cyclery, the Continental Divide Trail Alliance and numerous equestrian, cycling clubs and outdoor groups. For more information about this work weekend, please visit greatdividecyclery.com. There is no cost and food for the weekend is provided, but camping is "on your own." Click here to register online.
