Our Mission

BBHCA has a long record of successes in our interaction with local and state government officials, local private businesses, and other organizations. BBHCA takes an active role in keeping our community a safe and pleasant place in which to live! Membership and active volunteer participation in BBHCA activities is encouraged.


Organization Profile

In the late 1970s, the Civic Association of Brookland Estates joined forces with Bush Hill Woods to form the Brookland-Bush Hill Civic Association (BBHCA). BBHCA currently services more than 870 households.

In the past we have worked with community members and the County by evaluating problems and recommending solutions. We’re a community that cares and takes action! We need your continued support. Without members, we have no influence. Join today! Become a member—be counted.

BBHCA also sponsors community activities, such as our annual Yard Sale in June and Candidates' Nights on election years for local candidates.

The BBHCA meets five times a year at the Bush Hill Elementary School in Bush Hill Woods. Members and nonmembers are invited to join us to get an update on community activities, hear invited speakers on topics of local interest and issues, and meet your neighbors. BBHCA invites speakers who will address current issues and interests that directly affect our community.

Past speakers have included Lee District Supervisor, Delegate Mark Sickles, Lee District Station Police Officers, Red Cross (Emergency Preparedness), Franconia Museum Association, Lee District School Board Representative Brad Center, Lee District Land Use and Transportation Advisory Committee members, Franconia Fire Department, and many others.

The BBHCA News is also published four to five times a year to coincide with the community meetings. A typical issue includes updates from the BBHCA president, Neighborhood Watch Chair, Membership, Lee District Supervisor, along with other community-related news and activities. The cost of the newsletter is supported through member dues and advertising. For more information and past issues, please click on the link above.

Get involved—for the good of your community. We provide many opportunities for you to take an active role and make a difference. Join us!
