Women in the Outdoors programs are held at various types of locations. From shooting clubs, archery clubs, hunting clubs, plantations, women s groups, guide services, to private farms, or anywhere we can gather for a safe and fun day in the outdoors. The NWTF hopes that by introducing more women into outdoor activities, that it will help involve the entire family into every aspect of conservation. As we look at the involvement of the family, we must not forget that there are numerous single parent households in this country today, with the majority being females who head them. As more women are raising children alone, it becomes a challenge for many women to teach their children about the outdoors.
Children have such a desire to learn about the outdoors.
Whether camping, hunting, fishing, or simply asking questions about what s in their backyard, our kids want to learn and we need them to learn as well. The future of wildlife conservation and preserving our hunting heritage in this country hinges greatly on the involvement of our children. We simply must get more children educated and involved in our conservation efforts. Our children are our future and the Women in the Outdoors program offers women an avenue for obtaining knowledge, that will hopefully be handed down to their children Our Future. Women also make up the largest percentage of the voting population in this country.
