Women Owning Woodlands Network

The Women Owning Woodlands Network (WOWNet) is a peer-to-peer learning network designed to empower women who own or manage woodlands. WOWNet provides educational opportunities for women to learn about forest management, share their experiences and build a supportive community. WOWNet:

• Recognizes the increasing number of women taking on active roles in woodland management.
• Builds forestry knowledge and decision-making skills through hands-on learning opportunities.
• Expands women’s access to forestry-related tools, resources and support.
• Strengthens connections and communication among Oregon’s women woodland managers through local and statewide networks.

The group encompasses different knowledge sources and diverse management goals. WOWNet women include those who work in forests, own forests and engage in land management!
