Another important mission of the chapter is to work with youth groups such as the Boy Scouts and 4-H to provide them with Leave No Trace (LNT) educational skills, including animal skills, while working together with BCHW on the trails. One teaching practice is how to yield appropriately on the trail — “bikers yield to everyone, hikers yield to equestrians and equestrians yield to no one.� The international program, LNT (www.int.org\leavenotrace), provides succinct and direct ways to preserve the environment for everyone. Their teachings include how to dispose of waste properly; leave what you find; minimize campfire impacts; respect wildlife; find suitable camping sites; and plan ahead and prepare. The chapter hosts an LNT tent at the Clallam County Fair each year to help make the public aware of these practices. Beginning on June 27 and on July 11, 18 and 25, the Peninsula chapter will join with Kiwanis to offer horse rides for children with disabilities at Beausite Lake camp near Chimacum. A walker will accompany each horse and rider on either side of the horse to provide safety for the children. “There are some people who object to horses in the backcountry,� Mix said, and yet, it’s the horses and their riders that keep the trails open and often helped build them in the first place. The unifying focus of BCHW, Peninsula Chapter, is horses and mules — riding, showing, packing, admiring or keeping them as big pets. However, not all members have horses or even ride, but have a concern to help keep the trails open for all. A 501(c)(3) organization, the local chapter networks with Back Country Horsemen of America (BCHA) in 25 other states.
