Denise Robinson is a wife, a mother and a grandmother. She has been involved in Backcountry Horsemen of California for over 20 years. Denise is a member of the Sierra Freepackers Unit in Oakhurst, Eastern Madera County, California. She is their Unit Education Chair but has served as President as well as Secretary of her unit in the past. Denise is a Wilderness Rider Class of 2001. Denise and her horse have travelled most of the Ansel Adams Wilderness and her horse knows it like the back of her hoof. Now that she is retired, Denise is riding a mule and looking forward to taking her to the favorite places she misses. For 10 years, Denise was a Campground Host for Granite Creek Horse Camp until the Creek Fire of 2020. That fire squashed a lot of plans for backcountry travel. Denise served as a Ranger Station Host at Clover Meadow two summers ago and is appreciated helping visitors, hikers and equestrians enjoy what is available to them. As Co-VP of Education on the State Board Denise looks forward to encouraging and involving state units in the Education aspects of BCHC. We are a service organization and as such we need to be informed and to educate all. She believes Education, Public Lands and Service are what BCHC is all about. We are going to encourage ALL units to have an Education Chairperson, and we will be inviting that person to attend State Board meetings and to be involved in the State Education Committee. We need to know that BCHC’s education needs are being met, and we can do it as a TEAM.
