The Back Country Horsemen of America (BCHA) and its chapters (BACK COUNTRY HORSEMEN – Boise) is a non-profit organization that aims to preserve the historic use of horses and mules for recreation and work on public lands. The organization has over 13,000 members across the United States and Canada, organized into local chapters.
BCH chapters are made up of volunteers who are passionate about preserving access to public lands for equestrians and other recreational users. Each chapter works to maintain trails, campsites, and other facilities on public lands, as well as advocating for responsible land use policies.
Chapters may also organize events, such as trail rides, clinics, and educational workshops, to promote responsible horse use and land stewardship. Additionally, chapters may engage in fundraising efforts to support their local projects and initiatives.
Joining a BCHA chapter is a great way to connect with like-minded individuals who are passionate about preserving equestrian access to public lands, while also contributing to important conservation efforts.
