The Back Country Horsemen of Uwharrie is working in alliance with other Back Country Chapters across North Carolina, the US Forest Service and the National Park Service to ensure the forest will be available to equestrian use. Our main focus is on ensuring that this forest will remain a place that can be enjoyed by all equestrian enthusiasts. The members are volunteering time and resources to the Uwharrie National Forest to maintain our heritage and rights for horsemen to enjoy our public lands through the maintenance of multi-use trails. We are avid riders or just folks who love the forest, animals and are dedicated to keeping public lands natural, clean and safe to enjoy.

Be sure to turn in your volunteer hours!
WHY SHOULD WE REPORT OUR VOLUNTEER HOURS??
At the national level BCH of America uses the volunteer hours records as a basis of indisputable interest and use to promote new legislation and new laws to protect and promote stock use in National Forests, National Parks and Wilderness Areas throughout the United States. At the State level, BCH of North Carolina uses the volunteer hours from all the State Chapters to promote new State legislation and laws to protect and provide recreational stock use in North Carolina. The volunteer hours reports are proof of the use and interests of North Carolinians, in the recreational use of equines and pack stock. In the Uwharrie National Forest, these volunteer hours reports have a large impact on the equine community. Volunteer hours reports are collected after every project and the totals are submitted to the Forest Service annually. These various volunteer hours and task descriptions are assigned a dollar value by the Forest Service. These dollar values are uses in several ways, the first use is as matching funds for currently non-motorized funded grants, the second as dollars spent in the forest for equine trails, camps, etc. by the Forest Service (the tracked dollar amounts create a larger budget for equine infrastructure), and third these volunteer hours and dollar amounts are used to apply for new grants to target the equine infrastructure in the Uwharrie National Forest, the fourth and possibility the most important is that the volunteer hours show the Forest Service our efforts and dedication to working with the Forest Service staff to keep Uwharrie National Forest open to equine/stock users.
