For two months this summer, the Great Burn Conservation Alliance, USFS Superior Ranger District and Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks partnered to deploy a dozen Heart Lake Ambassadors to the popular Heart Lake area outside of Superior, MT.

Our Ambassadors managed to log over 125 hours and spoke with 130 visitors to the area. They were able to educate folks on the resident mountain goat herd, help with proper campsite selection, and even reunite a separated family! A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered!
“ I spent two days answering questions, giving suggestions and listening to wonderful stories about why people were heading into the Great Burn. Families taking young kids on their first backpack, a group of young women from California, a firefighter from Arizona on his day off, a dad scouting out the fishing to bring his five kids up the next day and many more! Classic comments out of the mouths of the youngest hikers: “I can’t wait to take my pack off ‘cause then I feel like I am just hopping along”. “Guess what, I fell in the creek - it was so much fun.”
Thanks to the Great Burn Conservation Alliance for the opportunity.”
