Back Country Horsemen of the Virginia Highlands

The BCHVH is a 501-C3 non-profit service organization committed to maintaining equestrian and multi-use trails in the Mount Rogers National Recreational Area in SW Virginia. BCHVH partners with land management agencies and other trail users to solve maintenance problems and to be a voice in the planning of future trails and trail systems. 

The Back Country Horsemen of the Virginia Highlands organize trail work days and rides to improve trails and to encourage all user groups to practice the principles of Leave No Trace.  

With cuts in funding and staffing, the Forest Service looks to volunteers to help keep trail maintenance and projects moving forward.

If you want to join us and have fun giving back to the trails please download a membership form by clicking here-  MEMBERSHIP FORM
