Since that time there has been a steady growth within the four founding state organizations. The BCHA is a different type of organization. We are a service club doing work in the back country and educating the users of the back country. These two elements, along with a determination to protect the heritage of back country stock use, are primary factors in our existence. Our name was chosen because it signified an interest in much more than just wilderness.
Members are interested in perpetuating recreational stock use on virtually all public lands.
To work to insure that public lands remain open to recreational stock use. To assist the various government, state, and private agencies in their maintenance and management of said resource. To educate, encourage and solicit active participation in the use of the back country resource by stock users and the general public commensurate with our heritage. You may contact one of our state organizations directly or send a letter indicating your interest to our national BCH address. Camp and travel on durable surfaces.
