For upcoming workshops, see the 2001 workshop schedule . The workshop explored the barriers limiting the participation of women in hunting, angling and other forms of outdoor recreation. Dr. Christine Thomas, a professor of natural resources at the University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point, realized that most of the 'barriers' were related to education, or rather, lack of educational opportunities. Being an educator herself, she recognized an opportunity to remove many of these barriers by providing educational opportunities. In most cases it is the natural resources agencies which sponsor the program.
All instructors have many years of experience afield.
They are chosen for their ability to pass on their knowledge and their belief in encouraging anyone who has an interest to get involved in the outdoors. Join us at one or many of these workshops and experience the enjoyment of getting outdoors. We urge you to support these organizations and businesses.
