Backcountry Hunters and Anglers has named Ryan ‘Cal’ Callaghan as the new president and chief executive officer of the public-lands advocacy organization.⁠ ⁠ The announcement comes after BHA’s former CEO stepped down this summer, and at a time when public lands are vulnerable to sale, development, and eroding protections. Callaghan is the former chair of BHA’s North American Board and the current vice president of conservation at MeatEater, where he plans to continue hosting his weekly podcast and appearing on video for the brand, among other duties. Under Callaghan’s leadership, which begins Jan. 1, he plans to rally BHA’s 40,000-plus members, expand the organization’s reach, and strengthen “partnerships across the political spectrum that drive real conservation results.”⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #BHA #backcountryhuntersanglers #publicland #publiclands #nature #conservation #outdoors #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: backcountryhunters⁠ Story by: krebfish & alexrobinson_mn
