This recipe of proactive measures to protect and preserve the land was presented to the USFS and the general public. BCHA grew from those humble beginnings in the Bob to an organization that operates in 31 states from coast to coast. Today, BCHA has nearly 12,000 members. The BCHA founders’ first recipe and vision for environmentally sound stock use and camping led to well-known programs like Tread Lightly and Leave No Trace.
Do you want to be part of this picture, too? You can carry on the legacy of BCHA and its founders. BCHA offers you many opportunities to protect, preserve, and support sustainable practices in the back country and Wilderness areas. You can volunteer for the fulfilling and rewarding work on America’s vast and scenic trails. Repairing and maintaining trails allows you to see the difference you’re making. Your opportunities to do some good and have some fun with BCHA don’t stop there. BCHA chapters ride to collect food and toys for local families who might otherwise go without during the holidays. Some chapters fight hunger in America by supporting food collections booths at local events.
You have opportunities to give a lot, but you get a lot back too. You find like-minded friends and plenty of occasions to enjoy their camaraderie. Friendships and fun keep people like you in the picture. You have the opportunity to tap into the knowledge, skills, and expertise of trail-wise BCHA members. You’ll find expert BCHA members who arrange and lead fun rides, as well as back country packing trips. If you aren’t quite ready for trail riding (but would like to be involved and learn more), no problem! Most BCHA chapters won’t pass up the chance to help out with a parade celebrating horses or mules or the history of pack stock in America. And who doesn’t like food? Oh boy, the food! BCHA members are always up for a good potluck or a Dutch oven cooking competition. The creativity and ingenuity of what can be cooked up over a campfire will never cease to amaze.
BCHA plays a crucial role in keeping America’s trails open and accessible for you and your equine partners. Put yourself in the picture. You can be part of the legend and the legacy that started in 1971 and continues as a vibrant and growing organization. You can make all the difference just by joining! So, go visit a BCHA chapter or state organization. Spread the word about the good work BCHA is doing. Take the time to get to know the local BCHA members in your area. You’ll make friends and memories that will last a lifetime. Find us at BCHA .org
