DONATING TO BACK COUNTRY HORSEMEN OF CENTRAL ARIZONA A 501(c)(3) ORGANIZATION “When we begin to see land as a community to which we belong, we will begin to use it with love and respect.” -- Aldo Leopold VOLUNTEER SERVICE BCHA (Back Country Horsemen of America) members believe that continued horse use, in harmony with the capacity of our public lands, is in the best interest of the majority of Americans. We offer our time and equipment to government agencies for such tasks as packing out trash, clearing, building, and improving trails; building trailhead facilities; and assisting in planning strategies which will benefit both horsemen and nonhorsemen. In 2007, BCHCAZ volunteer services were valued at $73,589. EDUCATION One of the primary purposes of Back Country Horsemen is to educate users to Leave No Trace techniques to minimize adverse impact on our resources. PARTNERSHIPS In addition to our in-the-field volunteerism, we work with the National Forest Service, U.S. Park Service, BLM, State of Arizona, Yavapai County, and municipalities in planning and implementation of approved projects for public recreational use. TRAIL ADVOCACY Back Country Horsemen of America leaders from throughout the country represent the organization at symposiums, horse events, and in Washington, D.C. when necessary. BCHA has fostered alliances with other horsemen’s organizations to pursue our purposes of protecting recreational livestock use on public lands and of educating the public in the common sense use of those lands.
