BCHC Who We Are and What We Do


The Backcountry Horsemen of California are a dedicated group of men and women who work to preserve the historic use of trails with recreational pack and saddle stock. We do this all through our local unit volunteers. Our volunteers work hard and have a good time. One our our North Bay Unit projects is the Army Corp of Engineers Lake Sonoma.

If this sounds like something you might be interested in finding out more about, please check our our North Bay Unit Contact Us page and drop us an email, give a board member a call or come to our Monthly meetings held the 2nd Tuesday of each month at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds at the South Gate.
We welcome all guests to our open meetings.
