BHA is a big family. As I travel across the continent, I’m seeing with my own eyes how robust our family is becoming. Next week, members of that family will descend upon Boise, Idaho, for our 7th annual North American Rendezvous. High fives, bear hugs and cheers will be the norm.
Unfortunately, not every one of our 20,000 family members will be in attendance in Boise. To those of you who can’t be present in person – know that you still can participate in Rendezvous from a distance. Follow the hashtag #Rende2018 to see the event unfold on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Follow our online auction that starts today and runs through April 30th. (Check out the trip from Wilderness Trail Llamas, a one-night/two-day backcountry fishing expedition for four people valued at more than $3,000. Owner Beau Baty is one stand up dude, and you will have a fantastic time!)
I regret we won’t all be together next week, but know you will be with us in spirit. Together, we are lighting the conservation world on fire – and we are just getting started!
Onward and upward, LAND
