DAYS
The Capital Chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers is excited to partner with the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries on a work-day to ensure quality public land access on the C.F. Phelps Wildlife Management Area. Projects for the day may include repairing blinds and clearing shooting lanes in the disabled hunter access area, trail system maintenance, cleaning and repairing the Rappahannock river canoe/kayak launch area and additional projects as identified.
Other activities for the day include a Hike to Hunt on the WMA Trail System and a Tailgate Picnic following the service project.
Come explore thousands of acres of public land in Northern Virginia, give back by ensuring disabled hunters can access public hunting in our region and meet some new BHA friends. If you can only make it for part of the day, then please come for the work project at 10:00 am.
