Program areas at Backcountry Hunters and Anglers

Access and opportunitybha is committed to advancing legislative and administrative efforts to secure public access to quality fair chase hunting and fishing opportunities. By amplifying the voices of our chapters to influence policies that not only address the physical issue of access but also prioritize conservation of key lands and waters, we can protect valuable habitat and implement responsible land management policies that support robust populations of fish and wildlife.
Conservation education and outreachthe north american model of wildlife conservation and the public trust doctrine define fish and wildlife resources as the property of the people and managed by government agencies entrusted with their care. This model is the foundation of science-based fish and wildlife management and our duty as an organization committed to Hunters and Anglers is to advance conservation programs that benefit our wild public lands, waters, and wildlife while promoting citizen engagement by our members, chapters, and conservation partners.
Habitat restoration and stewardshipbha is working at the local, state, and federal level to establish a national commitment to the stewardship of our wild public lands, waters, and wildlife for future generations. Healthy populations of fish and wildlife are directly linked to the health of their habitats. Hunters and Anglers remain committed to working with private land owners and state and federal management agencies to facilitate consistent land-use policies, protect wildlife corridors, and restore degraded habitats.
