The Culture
The best thing about working at Backcountry Hunters & Anglers is:
The incredible passion, drive and innovation that our small and dedicated staff brings to our work. We work hard and play hard every day. And we get an extra week of vacation every year that can only be used for backcountry adventures.
When we’re not working, we’re:
Hunting, fishing, gathering, biking, kayaking, skiing, hiking, napping etc. on public lands and waters.
What we’re reading:
BHA’s Jim Posewitz Digital Library. https://www.backcountryhunters.org/required_reading_for_conservationists
What we’re listening to:
The wind through the pines and babble of the brook.
If they made a movie about our workplace, it would be called:
Go, Fight, Win!
Inclusion in the outdoors matters because:
public lands and waters are open to all regardless of race, sexual orientation, religion, financial status, or political affiliation. Unfortunately equal access is not realized by all. In order to perpetuate the conservation of and recreation on our public lands and waters, it’s vital that its users reflect the diverse population of North America.
Five years down the line, it’s our hope that:
BHA reflects justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our membership, staff and leadership.
