The Back Country Horsemen of Alaska is a service organization working with other groups to ensure that area and backcountry trails remain open to the public, and that our relationship with these groups remains user-friendly.
Let’s get together for a winter meal and catch up after a busy summer and fall! Meeting at Conifer Farms, see email for address. November 24th. Potluck dinner at 6pm with meeting at 6:30pm Meeting Agenda: Old Business: New Business:
We are an affiliate of the national group; the Back Country Horsemen of America. Like this organization, we work toward trail maintenance and preservation, both locally and in the backcountry.
BCHA members believe that the use of horses on public lands and trails can exist in harmony with the interests of all Alaskan trail users. We offer volunteer time and equipment to:
• Clean up and clear trails
• Build and improve trails
• Create trail head facilities
• Assist agencies in planning strategies for trail use
We are eager to work with other trail user groups. Many of our members also belong to other riding groups such as Chugach Range Riders, Interior Horesemen’s Association, Alaska Icelandic Horse Club, Driving Me Buggy Society, and the local chapter of Cowboys for Christ. The Kenai Peninsula Chapter also works closely with the Kenai Peninsula Wildlife Refuge and the Kenai Peninsula Borough.
Meetings happen monthly on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at the MTA builings in Palmer at 7pm. Please contact us for more information..
