Warrior Transition Outdoors

We help Veterans and their families transition to civilian life through outdoor adventures and life-long family advocacy.

When a Veteran enters our family, they go to the heart of our organization. Lifelong Family Advocacy is our why, our purpose, the fuel that drives our mission.

Then, we are able to provide genuine, authentic relationships through our WTO family, cadre, Veterans, and their families. We also build community through storytelling. Since the beginning of time, people have connected through powerful stories.

Lastly, we believe outdoor adventures are a huge catalyst for healing, self-discovery, and connection with others. Whether you simply stand in the grass or fly down a snowy mountain on a set of skis, nature is known for its power to reorient our minds and souls to what truly matters.

Buck Bedard Outdoor Foundation

We are volunteers, many of whom have served in the US military, who donate their time, talents and treasure to further the vision of Buck Bedard. Our volunteers have experience guiding others on hunting and fishing trips, boating, hiking, camping, cooking, outdoor survival, archery, and shooting sports and attending outdoor sporting events. The activities and adventures sponsored by The Buck Bedard Outdoor Foundation are supported by donations (either monetary or goods) from individuals, organizations and businesses in our local communities as well as fund raising events. There are minimal operating costs so over 90% of the monies received goes directly to fund activities and adventures for our recipients.

Women of the Wild

Have you always dreamed of becoming an outdoor woman, but lack the advice, knowledge and support?

Our mission is to create safe and affordable hunting, fishing and education for females

As Mother’s, daughters, sisters or just friends we all deserve to find our passion. Many times females in the outdoors are left on the sidelines.

We want to invite you to try something new, learn something new and help us build an incredible sisterhood of females conquering the outdoors lifestyle!

Hickory Hills Veterans Lodge

At Hickory Hills Veterans lodge our goal is to give a helping hand up to our veterans in need, using a multiple of the empowering programs, established and used over many years. Our self-help programs prove to be beneficial with helping restore lost confidence, self-esteem and self-reliance just to name a few.

Veterans can enjoy fishing at several area lakes, or ATV rides. In the springtime there are managed turkey hunts with some of the greenest explosion of color and beauty found anywhere. There is little to match the exhilaration of an adult Tom turkey sounding his morning gobble during the crisp spring morning. Trying to match wits with these birds can be quite the experience. In the afternoons there is spring wild edible mushroom hunting, usually followed up with fishing, and later maybe a cook-out. These types of outdoor activities are shared and enjoyed with other seasoned veterans and are an integral part of the team building and support structure, offered to the veteran receiving the benefits of Hickory Hills Veterans Lodge.

Our veterans, and brave men and women in uniform need and deserve this help and support structure in their lives. Please help us, to help them, with a generous donation to Hickory Hills Veterans lodge. Thank You for your support!
