She joined the Alaska Chapter of BCHA when it was started in 2013 conveniently as she was returning from college with a BS in Animal Science and a Master's in Education. BCHA is a national non-profit volunteer-led organization dedicated to keeping trails open for everyone. We partner with many other organizations in 32 states across the US including federal, state, and local agencies.
