Becoming an Outdoors-Woman
BOW is an educational opportunity that
teaches hands-on outdoor skills to adult women in a safe,
supportive atmosphere. BOW workshops are designed especially for
women who are beginners, so no experience is necessary. Equipment
and
instruction are provided by patient, enthusiastic instructors. We
strive to offer a variety of topics in our workshops, balanced
between hunting/shooting, fishing and non-consumptive (kayaking,
camping, etc.) activities.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission is committed to introducing teachers, youth, adults and
families to exciting ways they can learn more about our diverse
fish and wildlife resources. But, it's not just about learning,
it's about getting outside and having fun too.
We believe that current and future generations of
Floridians are more likely to aid in the protection and enhancement
of these resources if they understand and appreciate them, and that
children and adults who spend time recreating in the outdoors learn
to love and better understand Florida's unique and varied
environment.
Through education or recreation experiences people can become
more interested in knowing the role they play in conserving and
enhancing our resources. With that knowledge, they may become
better stewards of the land and our fish and wildlife resources,
making more informed choices about their daily activities that
affect these resources and helping to influence others to cherish
and enhance our natural heritage.
