In 2017 I signed up to participate in the Alabama – Becoming an Outdoors-Woman weekend event.  Twice a year the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) sponsored event takes place at the 4-H Center near Columbiana, Ala.  That year I got to go free, on a scholarship that I won at the event in March.  This was my 4th trip and each time I loved it!  If you want to know more please visit Becoming An Outdoors-Woman site and start planning for one of the events.  Each event is limited to about 125 like-minded women who enjoy the outdoors.

NOTE: Courses usually vary for each workshop. Check the current brochure for courses to be offered.
