Wild Again

________________________________________________________________________
The Armed Forces initiative partnered with American Prairie in 2023 to host a learn to elk hunt event on a very unique piece of America. The short-grass prairie ecosystems need some attention, and we are happy to partner with a group like American Prairie that does so much for this landscape. We are hosting similar events in 2024 focused on sharp tail grouse, sage grouse, and antelope.
We want to give the military community a new mission: conservation!
The Armed Forces Initiative is the BHA program focused on getting the military community into the backcountry to create more conservationists in this essential demographic. At BHA, we have always seen our best leaders as volunteers and staff members from military backgrounds. We know the value these individuals place on the conservation community. We believe that by engaging with this group, we can help military community members through the transition from military to civilian life and significantly increase proficiency and talent within the conservation community.
Vision:
To provide members of the Military community with all the knowledge, experience, and passion needed to be fully operational as hunters and anglers in the forest and on the water, conservation stewards for habitat and wildlife, and engaged advocates in the legislative process.
Mission:
BHA’s Armed Forces Initiative strives to ensure that those on Active Duty in the National Guard, Reservists, Veterans, and Gold Star Families continue to take active roles as public landowners while providing a constructive outlet for current or transitioning service members to continue their selfless service and enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded individuals. Patriotism and selfless service carry on in our mission to protect public land and water access along with the ethical chase of wildlife.
Commanders Intent:
Instill within the Military Community a knowledge of conservation practices and theory, a love of wild places, and a desire to elevate America's public wildlands as fundamental components of American Freedom.
