Join WOWNet

"Belonging to a community of likeminded women and having my experience expanded by their diverse interests has made a huge difference in how I go about my forest-tending."

"What I most value about WOWNet is having the opportunities to meet other women woodland owners who feel passionate about their forested properties. When I first began managing our family lands there were times it all seemed overwhelming and intimidating. It was a tremendous confidence booster to be meeting women with years of experience and hear their stories."

"I am a better steward knowing there is a support group ready to offer advice without judgement."

“WOWNet is empowering women to grow from silent observers to active learners and inquirers, to mentors and teachers themselves.”

“It was a tremendous confidence booster to meet women with years of experience and hear their stories. As I listened I thought, ‘If they can learn to do this, so can I.’”

"For me, WOWNet has meant education, hands on training, and support from a network of experienced people I can turn to for answers to questions regarding our tree farm specifically and Oregon woodlands in general. "

"The diversity of women in WOWNet really opened my mind to more possibilities. Although some women came from forestry backgrounds many were like me...finding themselves involved in forestry without the history. Through our workshops and retreats there were even more opportunities to ask questions and share experiences."
