Back Country Horsemen of Missouri attend

training on trail repair and restoration to take

home to their chapters to apply the practices in

their home areas across the state.

Back Country Horsemen of Missouri (BCHMO) is the state organization of Back Country Horsemen of

America (BCHA) . BCHA is a federation of states that has been in existence for over 40 years and has

contributed millions of dollars of in-kind volunteer labor and service to public land agencies.

On a national level BCHA states provide packing skills for packing into wilderness where other means of

access would be impossible in order to fight fires, build bridges, repair trails and many other trail repair

needs. Nationally all multiuse trails, wilderness or non-wilderness , benefit from the volunteer work

provided by members of Back Country Horsemen.

Please consider supporting BCHA and BCHMO to help further our mission to ensure

access to trails for horse and pack stock. The work we do benefits all trail users—

equestrians, hikers, bicyclists, all outdoor enthusiasts by providing safe and sustainable

trails.

Thank you for your consideration !
