Backcountry Hunters And Anglers

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.

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.
