From the begin-
ning, there were four
fundamental core
principles that drove
the mission and vision
for the Back Country
Horsemen of Mon-
tana. ey are:
• To perpetuate the
common sense use and enjoyment of horses in America's back
country and Wilderness areas.
• To work to insure that public lands remain open to recreational
stock use.
• To assist the various government and private agencies in their
maintenance and management of said resource.
• To educate, encourage, and solicit active participation in the wise
and sustaining use of the back country.
e need for outdoor-related education has grown significantly
over the years. As the general public has become more and more
removed from the land, many of the skills that are required to
operate traditional tools, working with horses and mules as well as
protecting the resource are not well known. BCH MT has taken
on the responsibility of teaching and instructing new users of the
back country in these traditional skills needed to be volunteers or
anyone just planning to recreate in the back country. Youth camps,
wilderness skills, and mule packing classes are held around Mon-
tana through the local chapters using skilled BCH MT members
as instructors.
If you are interested in volunteering, supporting, or learning more
