Project Schedule
Day 1: Project launch date
We recommend that you arrive in our city of Irkutsk at least one day before the start of this project.
On the first day we will meet at 9.00AM at our GBT city office, and will introduce everyone in our project team before departing from Irkutsk.
At 10.00AM we will travel overland to the coastal town of Listvyanka (about a 90 minute drive). At the trailhead near town we will have a quick bite to eat and then set out for a 7km hike up to Yemelyanikha Camp. This hike will take around 2-3 hours—all our backpacks, equipment, and foodstuffs for the project will be
transferred to our camp by boat.

The first part of the hike to our camp will take us uphill; and then we will descend into another watershed, and down several switch-backs over to our campsite near the lake.
Once we arrive at the site our crew captains will lead you to:
• set up camp (first by setting up all the tents, then by gathering up firewood and helping prepare for the first camp dinner!)
• participate in our initial training on trail safety, and on the rules and protocols that will guide us for the duration of the project
Your crew leader will also share a schedule of daily chores for all the participants, assigning each one of you a share of the cooking shifts and other tasks that will help us maintain an orderly camp.

Days 2-9
These are the days when we will be working on the trail. We will clear out space to widen an existing trail, and, where necessary, we will construct special structures along the way (such as small bridges, stairway inclines, or retaining walls for the trail).
On average our teams will work around 6 hours a day, with a break for lunch.
There will be one full day off work for everyone, where all team members will stay near the camp site to enjoy a day of rest and recreation.

Day 10: Project completion date
On this last morning the project team will be asked to break camp, and collect and pack all their personal belongings as well as all the tools, equipment, and supplies to transfer back on the boat. Once again we will hike the trail back to Listvyanka, and from there we will take a bus back to Irkutsk, and then conduct a final debriefing meeting at our GBT city office.
Your project team leaders:
We will have one crew leader, who is the head of the entire project and organizes daily work schedules and oversees all work to ensure that safety protocols are met.
There will also be an interpreter and an assistant crew leader who will help with translation, help managing the project and leading the evening cultural and entertainment programs for our volunteer participants.
