DNR Accepting Registrations for Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (Bow) Fall Workshop

ANNAPOLIS—The Department of Natural Resources is now accepting registrations for the next Becoming an Outdoors-Woman (BOW) weekend workshop to be held from Friday, October 6 – Sunday, October 8 at the Western Maryland 4-H Center in Oakland (close to Deep Creek Lake) in Garrett County. BOW offers outdoor skills workshops specifically for women 18 years of age and older; however, men are also welcome.

BOW enables women to learn about a wide variety of outdoor opportunities in a casual, non-threatening environment. The program is designed to be hands-on, giving participants enough knowledge to further pursue their interests once the workshop is over.

Participants are given their choice of over 30 classes, including outdoor photography, stream ecology, turkey and deer hunting, fly fishing, hiking, kayaking, outdoor survival skills, and many more. In addition, BOW places special emphasis on the camaraderie that goes along with outdoor recreation.

For more information or to register for the upcoming workshop, visit www.dnr.maryland.gov/wildlife/bow.asp or call Karina Blizzard at 410-260-8559.
