Our Mission & Vision

Women Owning Woodlands (WOW) is a national effort to address barriers women woodland owners face when stewarding their land by equipping them with the information they need to take an active role in stewardship.

As a part of this mission, we value accessible educational opportunities to engage a community of women land stewards.

Making the case for women-focused programming.

During a WOW workshop, we asked participants if they felt encouraged to attend because it was a woman-focused event. Here is what they had to say…

“Absolutely! [It] creates a welcoming, inclusive learning environment. ‘Not knowing’ is not shamed or looked down on.”

“Yes! Made me feel like I was not an oddball. I’m the only female farm owner I know…until now! This was empowering on both a business and human perspective.”
