Welcome to the Outdoor Woman Magazine website!
Our Concept
Outdoor Woman Magazine was born from a passion for the outdoors, an understanding of the value of education, and the willingness to take a risk.
Our Mission Statement: “Promoting self-reliance through information, education, and opportunity,” is clear and direct.
For years, studies funded by numerous outdoor entities have identified basically the same barriers to the participation of women in outdoor recreation: lack of time, lack of opportunity, and lack of social support. Outdoor Woman Magazine’s focus is to provide a broad range of tools that will help diminish as many of these barriers as possible. With the support of professional outdoor writers, conservation organizations, and natural resource agencies, we are confident we will not only meet but, exceed our goals.
We have chosen “education” as our foundation because we believe it is the key to providing more opportunities for women who wish to experience the outdoors. Outdoor Woman Magazine writers offer encouragement to women hesitant to explore new activities as well as provide solid information for women already involved in outdoor recreation. In addition, each issue will feature a calendar of events outlining outdoor education programs and opportunities available in each of our targeted states.
We believe education is also the key to the future of our natural resources. By cooperating with state resource agencies, Outdoor Woman Magazine will promote the efforts of outdoor professionals dedicated to preserving recreational enjoyment for generations to come.
It is vital to the long-term health and well-being of our natural resources to educate the general public about the needs of healthy water, trees, air, and land. Outdoor recreation has a great impact on natural resources and depends directly upon involvement with specific resources. Educating women about the outdoors will help them make informed decisions about the use and future of our precious environment.
