WOMEN'S OUTDOOR CONNECTIONS
California Waterfowl invites women and families to get involved, join conservation efforts and pass on an outdoor legacy. The Women's Outdoor Connections Initiative (WOC) supports out-of-doors programs for women and families and is working to create a network forum for women interested in volunteerism, hunting and conservation.
Last year the WOC Committee created three successful new California Waterfowl events and this year they’re building on that success. Below is a list of the events planned for 2009-10 that will help us to continue to remove barriers and provide open access to the outdoors for everyone. Please join us in making this year twice as successful by participating, volunteering, supporting our efforts through donations, and encouraging everyone you know to get actively involved in the outdoors.

Documenting Progress
WOC committee member Holly Heyser writes an excellent blog, Norcal Cazadora, full of info on what hunting’s all about and how you can get started. She’s also documented the WOC Initiative efforts on the first Women and Children Shoot First Skills Clinic and the Daddy Daughter Dinner, which raised money for education and outreach.

About the Women's Outdoor Connections
The Women's Outdoor Connections Initiative was created by California Waterfowl to be a resource that inspires and supports a creative and positive outdoor experience for all by providing education, adventures, and networking opportunities.
Dedicated staff and volunteers are working together to achieve the following three goals; Create opportunities and be a resource for outdoor knowledge, remove barriers by providing an inviting learning environment, and inspire conservation awareness and resource stewardship.
