What We Do

The Buck Bedard Outdoor Foundation wants to introduce, educate, and involve Veterans, first responders, and our youth/young adults with life changing ailments to the outdoors. We want to make a positive impact on changing lives by introducing these members of our community to almost any outdoor experience they desire.  We do this by funding and mentoring the recipients and keeping them engaged for years to come. 

The Buck Bedard Outdoor Foundation volunteers are not paid, all of their time is donated.  Aside from some minimal operation costs, ALL money donated and raised by BBOF goes directly to our recipients. 

The BBOF volunteers are all Nevada residents and have a vast knowledge of Nevada’s terrain. With their knowledge comes experience in a variety of outdoor activities like hunting, fishing, hiking, boating, camping, outdoor cooking, outdoor survival, archery, shooting sports, tours, to name a few. If you have an idea that we haven’t listed, let us know so we can try to make it happen.
