Backcountry Beat, August 2022
|
Friend —
We're about to embark on one of the best months of the year...and I can't wait!
September is Public Lands Month. Five years ago, in 2017, we at BHA launched a monthlong celebration of our North American lands and waters – sending an uncompromising message about the importance of our public lands hunting, fishing and outdoor traditions. While many of us are getting ready to chase grouse and elk in the mountains, trout in cooling waters, pronghorn on the plains and doves in the fields, at BHA we're kicking off a month of stories from the field, policy deep dives, great collaborations with our corporate partners, and events happening all across the continent. Find one happening in your area!
Keep an eye on our website, social channels and your email inboxes for the latest and greatest from BHA and our members. I'll be on Instagram Live tomorrow at 11 a.m. MT with a preview of what we have in store, and I hope you can join me. Without you, Public Lands Month wouldn't be possible!
Onward and upward!

BHA President and CEO
