Celebrate Public Lands Month with BHA!

September is officially here, and we’ve got a full lineup of ways you can get the most out of the month dedicated to our shared passion: public lands.

Attend a Local Event

From stewardship projects and "how to" workshops, to pint nights and group hunts, we hope you'll celebrate all things wild and free with us this month in-person. Who knows, you just might find there's more backcountry (and fellow BHAers) in your backyard than you originally thought!

Save the Roadless Rule

This Public Lands Month, we have a chance to stand up for the wild, intact backcountry that sustains adventure, wildlife, and clean water. The Roadless Rule safeguards 58 million acres of national forest, but 45 million are now at risk of roadbuilding and development. Make your voice heard before Sept. 19 to keep these lands wild!
