Women In The Outdoors

On September 12-14, 2008, from 5:00 p.m. - 12:00 p.m., at Roosevelt State Park, Morton, MS, the MS Dept of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks and the Women in the Outdoors Program of the National Wild Turkey Federation will be hosting a workshop. It is dedicated in providing interactive educational outdoor opportunities for women ages 14 and older. Local chapters and organizations throughout the nation will conduct outdoor learning events featuring hands-on activities.

The National Wild Turkey Federation’s (NWTF) goal is to teach the importance of responsible wildlife management, increase participation in outdoor-related opportunities and to preserve the hunting tradition.

The Women in the Outdoors TM Program will meet its goal by introducing more women to outdoor activities, training women as outdoor educators and providing a network for men and women with similar outdoor interests. This is a great tool to promote all women who have an interest in the sport and to further educate ourselves for the great wild outdoors.
