Arkansas BHA Chapter / Thursday, September 5, 2019 / Categories: Media, Podcasts BHA Podcast & Blast, Ep. 57: The Outdoor Recreation Economy in the West The American outdoor recreation industry is the largest industry on the planet – to the tune of $887 billion dollars annually – that until recently has not demanded political representation for its interests. And what are those interests? Clean water, public lands, public access, wildlife habitat, trails, sustainably managed lands and waters – the same elements that make for a strong, healthy and ecologically resilient nation, one worthy of the dreams of our founders and the hopes of our own children. This podcast is the first to bring together three heads of the new offices of outdoor recreation in Montana (Rachel VandeVoort), Wyoming (Dave Glenn) and Oregon (CailinO’Brien-Feeney). These are public servants of a new kind: hardcore hunters, anglers, climbers, river guides, backcountry skiers and public land managers. They have skin in the game and hard earned experience brought to bear. A revolution is underway. :: iTunes :: Stitcher :: Podbean :: :: Find all episodes here :: Previous Article Minnesota BHA named sole partner for Orvis, Saint Louis Park Giveback Days Next Article West Slope CO BHA Members Lead Habitat Improvement Project Print 0 Rate this article: No rating Tags: the campfirePodcast Arkansas BHA ChapterArkansas BHA Chapter The Arkansas Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers is the voice for Arkansas' three million acres of wild public lands, waters, and wildlife.
